Holds well but...
This will keep your lashes up, without a doubt. However, it's SUPER hard to wash off, so make sure you use an oil based cleanser if you can, otherwise you'll have to wash your face a few times.

Holy Grail for asian eyelashes
I love clear mascaras since it’s a really easy and natural look for every day wear, but clear mascara always falls flat with my asian eyelashes (even if they’re fairly long). So when I found this, I was ecstatic. I realize it’s a primer, but I love wearing it by itself. I’ve worn it for a while, so here are my opinions.1.) I’ve used this with my Peripera Black Cara Long Lash mascara and it makes my eyelashes looks so long and full. The only down side is that the primer can make the eyelashes look somewhat clumpy, so I would recommend layering the two lightly for a feathery look. A tip is to warm up the mascara with body heat before applying to make things smoother (I shove mine in my bra before I put on makeup haha)2.) In regards to wearing it by itself, it can hold a curl so well and make it look like I’m not wearing mascara. However, it can make almost a flakey look after so long, so if you wear it by itself, be gentle through the day (though, it’s best you do that regardless)3.) I genuinely am in love with this primer so much. I have long, stubbornly straight asian lashes, but light and small bottom lashes. When I apply this to both sets, it makes my shy bottom lashes stand out and compliments my top eyelashes.4.) Like all good asian mascaras, this should be removed with an oil cleanser/balm/micellar water. I HEAVILY discourage attempting to remove the primer/mascara without it. I had a lazy week and left the primer on without washing it off and it lasted on my eyes for 3 days until it was completely gone. Study up on proper makeup removal!5.) I agree with most comments that the tube and mascara wand is a weird application combo, but it’s not a deal breaker. The tip of the wand can get a lot of product on it, so just wipe it off the edge and you’re good to go.I can’t recommend this stuff enough. I thought I was fine with my peripera mascara (which I also love immensely) but this just unlocks a whole new realm of natural makeup. It’s SO worth your money!

Adds length but a little clumpy
I included a picture with one eye natural and the other with the primer mascara and the curl fix in black. I found this product when researching mascara for Asian lashes. It does add some length and something for the mascara to grab onto when you apply it. But I feel like when it dries, it’s a little clumpy and so that shows when you apply the black mascara. I started just using the curl fix and found that adds not as much length, but does help keep the curl in the lashes without too much clumping. I do have to manual curl my lashes first too, because mine are stick straight. This is the only product that keeps the curl all day. It is a little tricky to remove, but a good makeup remover does the trick. I would recommend this product, especially for people with stubborn lashes.

Perfect eyelashes!
This "fixer" is amazing! It holds a curl like nothing else I've tried. If I want truly waterproof, curled, and long lashes, I use the fixer FIRST, after curling my lashes, let it dry a minute, put on my tubing mascara, and then apply another coat of the fixer. I can swim without my eyelashes/mascara budging. For simple daytime use, I curl my lashes first, apply tubing mascara, and then apply the fixer as the last step. It all washes off with warm water and no tugging. If I use the fixer first, then I have to remove my eyelash makeup with an oil based product. (tip: let the oil soak into your lashes for a 20 seconds or so, then wipe clean) That's a little more work, but worth it if I need truly waterproof mascara. I've bought this fixer 4 times already and can't recommend it enough! Be patient and experiment with what method works best for you!

The brush isn't breaking, the fibers are on purpose.
It's not a terrible product, but I found it hard to wear for a whole day. The fibers in the product itself is supposed to be what helps lengthen your eyelashes, kind of like extentions and I get the appeal. But as of everyday wear, I found the little fibers were falling out and getting in my eyes and cause irritation. Was worth a try, definitely helped add lenth but idk if I'm willing to wear it or use it again.

Best primer for straight lashes
I have the straightest eye lashes because I have monolids so they point down naturally. I have tried lash perms and lash extensions but haven’t found anything I love until I tried this product. I saw an influencer recommend this product and am so impressed with how it holds a curl! I start out with curling my lashes and then apply this product like any mascara. It holds the curl ALL DAY! For $7 this is now my favorite product! In the photo I just have this product on and no mascara!

So good for my stubborn eyes.
I hate wearing waterproof mascara cause I have super oily monolid eyes so they’re always smudging on my eyelids. I found out about tubing mascara (I use L‘Oreal Paris Double Extend) and it doesn’t smudge but it does not hold my lashes up at all. Even with waterproof mascara, they fall a little bit. This primer is a game changer. I put it on after I curl it and it hold up the curl all day and doesn’t fall at all. And then I use the tubing mascara which makes them even longer since it adds fibers to the lashes and it barely smudges. (It sometimes smudges a little due to water since the tubing mascara is removed with water and not oil). The downside is that it is kind of hard to remove but I don’t mind. I found that the easiest thing was to use Micellar water or warm water to remove the layer of tubing mascara and then dry it off and then use an oil cleanser or oil balm to remove the primer. Though, you can remove it with the micellar water or oil alone. The key is to just gently work it off to avoid losing lashes or irritation.

Ineffective primer
Didn't do anything more than prime lashes and holds mascara on lashes.Ineffective - did not enhance curls or extend lashesextremely hard to remove even after using cleansing oil & waterFlakes the mascara once driedThink this is for those with thin short lashes.

Never tried anything quite like this before.
I suffer with chronic dry eyes, and I use eye drops every hour during the day. I was having big problems with my mascara turning my eyes into big black panda eyes!I was looking for a product which would grab my waterproof mascara and not allow it to shift, or to flake.When I put it on, the brush separated my lashes really well. The product was clear like a gel.I waited a minute or two before adding on my mascara.I had quite a shock, the product had turned my lashes absolutely solid like concrete! My big worry was, is this product going to dehydrate my lashes?I applied my mascara, but I found it hard to layer my mascara, so I couldn’t get a fuller look.My mascara didn’t move all day.In the evening trying to take my waterproof mascara off with this product took a lot of work. I used a foaming cleanser with a sonic electric cleanser. I did a double cleanse and still it wasn’t fully removed. I also used a hot flannel too. I eventually got it off using Marcella water on a pad, so that was a treble cleanse.Apparently you can use this product as a base, use your mascara then this product on top. I decided to try it first as a base and then see how it behaved, I didn’t use it as a top coat.My mascara never moved, it never ran with all the eye drops I was using or smudged as I was touching my eyes every hour to pop in the drops.This is an excellent product for its performance. The only thing I didn’t like, was how solid and rock hard it made my eyelashes feel. I was disappointed that I struggled to increase volume using my mascara.I’m going to be starting a new post working with patients, and I want my mascara staying put! This product does that. I think I’m going to have to explore using different eye makeup removers to see what works best. I don’t want to be chiselling off my mascara every night!!

Makes lashes look clumpy
Well I don't like how this makes my lashes look clumpy after I apply mascara on this. Very unnatural. Maybe that's what it meant when it said on its packaging that it increases volume of lashes. It's really odd. It like makes each lash thicker but in a very uneven way, so it looks kinda flakey. It's just not what I think is a good look. Some people like this look, but I don't, because I prefer to have more natural looking lashes.Don't know about it keeping a curl. In my experience, it does just about as well at keeping a curl as any other mascara. I have short, fine eyelashes, and I use a heated eyelash curler after using mascara, which fixes the curl with heat. Maybe it does keep a curl better than not using it, if you don't use a heated eyelash curler. I don't know.I'm not impressed, really. I don't think it makes mascara more waterproof either. In my experience, I still get a dark shadow on my lower eyelid after about 5 hrs after using applying mascara, whether I use this under the mascara or not.It's a bit of a dud purchase tbh. Maybe I might try another brand.

Great mascara fixer!
This mascara fixer is amazing, I’ve just bought it again for the 3rd time. Fixes mascara all day and helps with curl, separation and volume too. The product is clear, but will discolour black slightly if used after applying mascara, but it still works so doesn’t matter. If you want to stop that happening then only use before mascara application, although I find it better to apply mascara then mascara fixer. The writing on the back of the tube isn’t in English as it’s from Korea, but you don’t really need instructions. There is only 6ml in the tube but does last a while and a got at a great price of £6.50!

Anyone with straight short downwards lashes
I have straight short downward oily lashes that even if I curl them it makes no difference and smudges easily.This is a saviour!!! Because of this I feel confident my mascara is stay put and my lashes are in shape - lifted and curled!When I place this on, it hardens then I apply my several coats of mascara on top for a night out or just one coat of mascara for natural look. Absolutely love love love !! BUT use a cleansing oil or cleansing balm to remove this though- that’s how strong fix it is

a life saver for lashes that never stay up!
I LOVE this mascara fixer, all my life i have tried EVERYTHING to get my eyelashes to stay curled for even the shortest amount of time and nothing has worked… until this product! this has genuinely saved my life and keeps my lashes up for a FULL DAY, even in hot or rainy weather, although it is a little hard to take off (i use micellar water). i first bought this in mid april 2022 and it lasted me 8 months using everyday before i sadly lost it in december 2022 (could easily have had 4 more months out of it though), amazing how it lasted so long! BUT my issue now is that since losing it i bought a replacement (came in 2 days!) and this one now has SO much less product inside than the last i bought which is so disappointing… i hope it will last. besides this, i would DEFINITELY recommend for anyone who’s eyelashes hate them :)
