Hi everyone

You know how some lash lengthening mascaras have a white 'base coat' which lengthens the lashes with fibres and the coloured mascara is the 'top coat' - often one at each end of the mascara tube? Well, I am looking for just the base as I already use a mascara I love. Does anyone know of a way of just buying the base? I am in the UK.

Lancome used to make one. Sometimes I used to apply a coat of mascara then a light dusting of powder, then another coat of mascara, combing in between layers, to add volume.

Thanks Fawnie - I've not heard of that one before. I'll give it a go.

TOTALLY AGREE BUT.....

Fawnie, I think you're showing our "age" with this tip.

I've given this tip out several times 90% of the time folks look at me like I'm crazy before they try it.

I use Clinique's lash building primer. I've been using it for several years now and I love it. Here in the states it is usually $13.00.
