    Very hard to remove. Did not make dramatic improvement of my short lashes. It curls well though. I will not buy it again. Max Factor is much cheaper and can do the same job with Clinique base mascara.

    Very highly priced (18GBP) but worth it. The oils in this non-white base prevent lashes from drying out. It works very well with Shiseido's Natural Mascara, lifting the shorter lashes quite...

    I bought this mascara base because I liked the fact that it is clear, and I do not have to continuously coat mascara on to cover it up, then end up with too much mascara and look like I have...

    I would describe this mascara base as "hairspray" for your eyelashes because it truly does hold a curl! - all day long may i add. As for length and volume, i didn't notice too much oomph in that...

    Love, love the Shiseido mascara base. I don't know how I lived without it. I was never able to wear any mascara or eyeliner due to a terrible smudging no matter what I've tried. I have a thin,...

    This keeps my mascara from flaking and dusting my lower lid. I used to end up with this dark shadow underneath my eyes. Now i use this. I does make your mascara go on heavier but at least i dont...

    There are only a few high end splurges that I give myself that I cannot find an equal to at the drugstore and this is one of those products. This is quite spendy..I can get two maybe three mascaras...

    This mascara base does wonders for my lashes. I didn't think it'd make much of a difference; just another added step when applying my make-up. It adds staying power to my mascara (I've been using...
