Overall so-so performance

I liked this lash primer the first several times. It lengthened my lashes, but the more I used, the more it clumped my lashes together. As a results, it made my lashes look like spider-legs. I think that the primer coating built up and dried on the brush. Every time I used this primer, I wiped off the build-up from the brush. Then, it worked a bit better again. I used a metal lash comb to separate...read more the lashes, and the comb was a bad idea..it also removed some of the mascara and the coat. A comb was my fault but still the brush needs some improvement. What a tedious routine. Shiseido's Mascara Base works better.

Average primer

with an above average cost. I wish it dried slightly faster, and it wasn't as thick. I think it's good but the cost is too much.

makes mascara stick to lashes

I got this as part of a set. I tried it under my mascara and was impressed at how much fuller my lashes looked. Plus my mascara didn't flake or smudge even after wearing all day. Love this. I'd definitely buy it separately.

LOVE!

I love this stuff! It lengthens eyelashes and makes mascara look freshly applied no matter how many hours have passed. Also makes it easier to avoid clumps.

Separates and Multiplies

My lashes are about medium in terms of length and volume. I love for my eyelashes to look full and voluminous, but I can't get that look with mascara alone. So I tried this lash primer hoping it would help, and I love it! The brush does a great job of lengthening and multiplying my lashes, so no matter what mascara I use, they always look nice and full. The brush also separates my lashes really we...read morell, which means I don't have to worry about clumping when I apply mascara over the primer. The primer isn't hard to cover at all; I just make sure I give each lash a good swipe. I also find that I don't need as many coats of mascara. The only downside is that it's a little pricey (for me, at least). But since it gives me such great results, I'll absolutely buy it again.

Lashes 53 years later

My daughter had raved about this product, I tried hers once and I was hooked. I have always had light, sparse eyelashes and this product makes them not only thicker but longer too. It is a good value for the money and definately did its thing!!!

Great Primer

This stuff works really great. I will be honest in saying that I haven't tried THAT many primers; however when I tried this, it was fabulous! YOU should definitely wait til it's fully dry on the lashes before applying mascara though. (To get the full effect.) I love the consistency. I have tried a couple of other primers that were really thin. This one is very thick and lashes come out beautifully when applied correctly. The price is wonderful too!

smashbox lash primer

This is a great piece for your make up bag. it makes your lashes extra ready to grip the mascara and make them stand out and say "Hey look at my eyes". I like this item alot as I am partial to many smashbox make up items. I say "a must have"!
