    That was my first mascara base - I didn't use mascara base since few months ago (I suppose I hate to layer too many things!), so I can't compare it to any other. It defintely makes a difference -...

    OMG. This is now my HG mascara base.I used to use all the drugstore brands and they were ok. Then I discovered Lancome's Cils Booster XL and fell in love with it. I swore by it until I tried this...

    This is the best mascara base I have ever used. I love this with Shiseido Lasting Lift mascara. I wear contacts and haven't had any flaking with this. It seems to come out of the tube like it...

    A lot of people seem to love this product. For me, it helped my lashes look longer. The first time I paired it with Shiseido Advanced Volume Mascara, my lashes looked so beautiful...long, thick,...

    I waited so long to buy this product, and when I finally did, it was a disappointment. The finished effect on my lashes after using the Shiseido base was stiff, crunchy, and fake. I tried the base...

    It's the only mascara base that keeps my lashes curled. Before I had this, there was no mascara that worked on me, it just makes my lashes straight even if I curled them before I put any mascara...

    Honestly, this is the best thing that ever happened to me. Shiseido's mascara base keeps ANY mascara drugstore/highend from smudging! I've gone through a full 12h workday with this and it has not...

    Simply put, I LOVE this. This saved my Lancome Fatale from clumping, and makes EVERY mascara I have behave. *smiles fondly at Fatale and Full n' Soft and glares at a garish pink and green tube from...

    I took this back after using it for a couple of days. I get what it's supposed to do, but it really wasn't worth the money in my opinion. HOWEVER, I have fairly decent lashes so a regular mascara...

    This is a fantastic primer. Unlike others I have tried, it is not thick and white, nor does it cause your mascara to clump. Rather, it holds the curl in my super-straight lashes, which no mascara...

    Very hard to remove, made my lashes crunchy, and clumps my lashes. It did have it positives with lengthening and thickening. Would not buy again since it was $20 for me and my lashes had the same...
