Whether it’s a smoky eye, colourful shadow or crisp cat-eye – every look is incomplete without fluttery lashes! Mascaras have the unique ability to make us look sultrier and more awake, in just one swipe. Unfortunately, these products are often accompanied with flaking, clumping and dry lashes. This is where lash primers come in! Just like your foundation primers, these handy little products extend the staying power of your mascara. Here are our favourites.
1. e.l.f. Studio Mascara Primer
Formulated with amazing ingredients like hydrolyzed wheat and soy protein, this conditioning primer is exactly what your lashes need. Not only will it nourish your lashes, but will also give you thicker, stronger and longer lashes!
2. MAC Prep + Prime Lash
Is there anything that MAC does wrong? We don’t think so! This tube is capable of intensifying the effect of any mascara to provide voluminous, plush lashes. Don’t be afraid of the white formula – it dries into a semi-clear shade.
3. Estee Lauder Lash Primer Plus
For lashes that speak for themselves, turn to Estee Lauder’s magnificent formula. The wand curls and lifts your lashes, while the primer doubles up the volume and boosts the effect of a mascara. It even helps prevent breakage!
4. NYX Big & Loud Lash Primer
Before you bat your lashes at a special someone, swipe on this primer. Proven to lengthen and thicken the finest of lashes, NYX’s primer is definitely a makeup bag staple. The brush also works well to clean out any clumps!
5. Clinique Lash Building Primer
If your mascara always flakes, then you need Clinique’s primer. The lash-conditioning ingredients mend dry lashes while the polymer combination extends the length and wear of your mascara.
Put away those falsies and reach for these primers instead. Long lashes, here we come!
