After reading the tremendous reviews Shiseido's The Makeup Mascara Base garnered on this site, I felt trying the product was worth the $24USD price tag, and I wasn't disappointed. I was looking...

This product is particularly useful if you need to hold a curl. Personally I find that if you run a dry mascara wand (to separate your lashes) before you put on this base, it is extremely useful in...

I have semi-short asian lashes and this base really helps lengthen them. It also seems to reduce the amount of raccoon eye that I get with just-mascara. I use this with Cover Girl Lash Blast...
