    This is a must have prior to applying mascara! It holds the curl and it certainly thickens the lashes even if you only applied a little. Basically, most mascaras (even normally crappy ones) look...

    This is wonderful at curling and separating my lashes and my mascara looks at least twice if not three times better when i take an extra minute to apply this first! They look more natural even...

    A great base for mascara -- I use it with MAC fibrelash. I do find, however, that you must be patient when applying it to your lashes, so as to avoid unsightly clumps. It adds extra minutes to my...

    I REALLY wanted to like this.. but it wasnt as 'amazing' as everyone makes it out to be. Maybe it was because i was using it with max factor 2000 calorie mascara, but no one noticed a difference....

    I wanted to like this, since it helps my short Asian lashes keep its curl after I curl it with a curler. I am desperately trying to find a different mascara or mascara primer that holds a curl,...

    This is really an incredible mascara base. It helps condition my lashes and it holds the curl all day long. It also gives my lashes even more length and volume. It's a little expensive but its...

    I am in love. This holds my freshly curled lashes so well. Finding a mascara that will actually hold my curl is no longer a problem thanks to this base. Will definitely buy again.
