    Oh, WOW. I thought this would be a completely unnecessary product. Who needs a mascara base? Well, as it turns out, ME!!! Every mascara I tried, from Great Lash to Dior Show, would without...

    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...

    After reading all the reviews I decided to try this out, in the never-ending attempt to get faux looking lashes. I'm really glad I did, one more quick step but the results, amazing! I'm not sure...

    Oh, Shiseido. If this base was a man I would marry it. :) Paired with my Shu (or any decent curler, really) and my waterproof Colossal, I grow a pair of faux-looking lashes. Yes it conditions,...

    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...
