    It's the greatest mascara base on earth. No wonder so many women love this stuff. I do too! It adds a slight boost of drama and really helps mascara hold a curl. I also like that my lashes...

    This product is great for holding the curl and preventing my mascaras from flaking and smudging. I have straight lashes which I have to curl with an eyelash curler. And many mascaras pull the...

    I love this product. I have very long but fine eyelash hair, and applying this base really thickens them and keeps the curl in all day. I've had the same tube for about a year now, and with daily...

    I've used a drugstore brand mascara base before and hated it but I decided to give this one a shot based on the reviews. I like how it keeps the curl no matter how much you apply it. Note, I have...

    I'm probably on my 3rd or 4th tube of this product. To test drive this mascara base, I took a hot, steamy bath with my lashes coated with this base and Shiseido's distinguish mascara. I have...

    After reading reviews on MUA, I just had to try this mascara base. I'm Asian and my lashes are short, sparse and stick straight. If I would cut off my lashes, it wouldn't make a difference!...

    Magic. Utter magic. Even with lousy mascara. It's on the pricey side ($20?), but worth every last penny. I had a hell of a time removing it, until I got desperate and tried my regular hand &...

    This is my first try at using a mascara base. I must say, I'm not exactly sure what it's supposed to do. This makes any of my mascaras glide on easily. It seems to improve some of my mascaras...
