ETUDE Dr. Mascara Fixer For Perfect Lash, Korean Mascara Fixer, All-Day Curl Hold, Volumizing, Smudge-Proof, Korean Makeup, Beauty, Transparent (0.203 Fl Oz)

No matter what dark mascara I use, I always end up with panda eyes. So I switched to a mascara fixer instead. I use it on its own - without any dark mascara - and it still keeps my lashes long and curled, almost like a clear mascara. One thing to note: if you’re using loose powder, apply it before the fixer. I made the mistake of applying powder right after, and the tips of my lashes turned white.

When I finally broke down and got a lash primer, I realized it was the only way I could keep mascara on for most of the day. And if I never get around to the mascara, at least this doesn’t leave my eyelashes white. I’m off in too much of a rush in the mornings. But when I feel like putting my eyes on, this is necessary.

I was really disappointed with this mascara. It makes my lashes clump together almost immediately, which completely defeats the purpose of using mascara in the first place. No matter how carefully I apply it, I end up with thick, stuck-together lashes instead of a defined look. Also, the tube feels surprisingly light, which makes me wonder if there’s actually much product inside—though that might just be my impression. Overall, this mascara just didn’t work for me and I wouldn’t repurchase it.

This is a great product (keeps my straight Asian eyelashes curled and is like water resistant) BUT if you use too much of this product, it leaves white flakes on your eyelashes (which makes sense considering this is similar to a wax). However, I’ve walked around unknowingly so many times with white eyelashes, as if I dipped them in candle wax🤣😅! So do be aware of that

Holds curl for my super straight lashes. It does dry out in the tube quickly but I still love it. I usually wear it on its own.

This works so well and is the only way I can get certain mascaras to hold a curl! However, it's difficult to wash off (even with my best makeup remover that takes off waterproof mascara with no issue) and leaves my eyes feeling irritated. Each time I've used it, I've woken up with swollen eyelids the next day. I love it, but my eyes don't! Such a shame.

I am Asian, so my lashes grow down and never keep their curl. I heard about this product on Instagram and had to get my hands on it. I ended up not receiving this on time when I ordered from Amazon, so I ordered it from another place I wanted to leave a review because I think this is a really good mascara base. There are two ways you can use it. You can use it as a mascara base to help keep the curl in your lash or to lift your lashes up from the route before applying your mascara. Or, can use it in between your coats of mascara to add a length. I do both because I have very tiny lashes that do not curl. What I do is curl my lashes, then apply one coat of this product. After a few minutes, I apply my first coat of mascara, and then reapply this product over the mascara, then let it dry. Lastly, I apply a second coat of mascara, and this product dramatically helps with the longevity of my mascara, its volume, and also maintenance of the curl. Just know you will need a very good make up remover because this product really grips mascara to your lashes. As in aesthetician and make up artist, I cannot live without this product.

Makes the most of my 2 mm lashes, but tbh pretty hard to remove with just a water based face cleanser- you may want an oil based one so you’re not ripping out the precious few pretty eye hairs
