Mascara Base

[BrEnDa]

Wonder if any of u ladies use mascara base to prep your lashes before applying mascara? Any good recommendations?


I was using watosa mascara base but it's not available in s'pore anymore. IMO find that when i use a mascara base, my lashes are more defined and tend to curl, lengthen or voluminises better.

Just don't try lancome's Cil Booster. It uncurl your lashes and weight it down. I totally regret getting it.

Ayura's has very good lash primer. I really like it. It helps to curl, lengthen and volumize. Try it.

i heard shideiso's mascara base is pretty good. defines and plumps up lashes and holds a curl!

many rave reviews here:

shall try it myself when i have saved up enough money.

HTH!

Ditto! When i first bought it, i thought it was my problem too. Because what i heard was raves.

Really regretted getting this.

thanks for the info!! I saw the base and top coat there, how come no black ones???? :huh: :huh:

jemay, they have mascara top coat, base and the volume mascara. since they are using frames for their website, it's hard for me to give you the exact link. here's what i search for the mascara:
1. click on any one item from this page:
http://www.gooddealer.com/frameindex_eng.html
click on "Shiseido Body cream" for example.
2. then click on "Shopping Mall" on the left.
3. click on the pink "Search" button (on the right)
4. then select "Shiseido" for brand, then "Eye Lash" for Category.

i think they don't have the Dramatical LONG mascara, or maybe they ran out of stock. the last time i ordered from them, they don't even have the base coat. HTH

Wow...luckily i did not get Lancome's base...

will definitely check the shiseido's one out!

This is excellent! It holds the curls really well after curling the lashes with a curler! Not too sure about plumping up the lashes. But it is definitely much better than Lancome's mascara base! It is a must have product for asian's straight eyelashes.

I heard good stuff about the IPSA base. It's double-ended, one is a clear gel for volume and the other end is a white base with fibre for lengthening!

I am definately lemming to try this out!

i tried this at the counter when it was first launched!
it's really fantastic! i didn't know my lashes could be that long and full. however, IIRC, it's $43!

i'm using shiseido's mascara base too! Just like what dolphin had said, it holds the curl very well and thickens my lashes too! it!

I've got this IPSA mascara base and really like it. Thickens lashes really well and adds length too. But the price is a major deterrent for repurchasing. Might get the Shiseido one next since I mainly use the clear (volumizing) end more often. I use Fasio Lengthening mascara after the base so that takes care of the lengthening part.

Other mascara bases I tried are KP and the Revlon Fantasy Lash. Both are the white fibre types and are rather dry and thick in texture, especially after a while of opening the tube. Prefer the clear gel bases which are easier to apply.
