What does the Estee Lauder primer do for you?
I've been using Urban Decay's "Lingerie" primer, but it's time to replace my current tube, and I'd like to try a different one this time.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
My favourite is Maybelline Define A Lash. I'm quite content with my natural lashes and a ton of mascara bugs me more often than not, so I find this is just the right amount for me. I'm not particularly looking for volume or length, really, rather a black that doesn't clump and get all gross - this is perfect for me!

I get both good volume and length from it, especially volume, and I find it very easy to work with - it doesn't clump at all for me, and it's buildable. It makes a big difference on my lashes, I get much more drama with it as a base than I get with only mascara - even really good ones. The EL lash primer + a good lengthening mascara is a winning combination that works as an alternative to natural-looking falsies, when I don't have the time or can't be bothered.
It also lasts for a long time without drying out or going bad.
I haven't tried any other lash primers, but I'm so pleased with this one that I'm not very tempted to stray. I will probably buy it again when I run out.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I absolutely love Lauder's primer also! I use it with a mix. Lately I have been using Lauders new Double wear mascara, and I like it okay. I love Lauder's Magnascopic, DiorShow, Lancomes Hypnose( except it seems to always dry out really quick!) Also I just bought Cliniques High Impact in Purple, and LOVE IT!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
my bf just got back today and i was too eager to try the fiberwig! wow and wow!!  a big thumbs up from me!! i just loooooooooooove it and my niece mistakenly thought that i wear falsies  !! woohooo...which is a good sign since my natural eyelashes is 'barely-there' type! now, i would like to recommend it for those who wants a longer lashes but the cons is that, it does not volume ur lashes..still, i LOVE it!!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Currently my favorites are LashBlash by Cover Girl and Doll Eyes by NYX. I have to use waterproof mascara because my eyes water like crazy, so I was ecstatic when the waterproof LashBlast came out a few weeks ago. I have to say that it is not as great as the non waterproof formula, but I guess that is to be expected. Doll Eyes by NYX is everything that I want in a mascara. Long, full, dark, and dramatic lashes, BUT it seems to flake after 4+ hours of wear.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I keep coming back to a combination of Maybelline Lash DIscovery Waterproof as a "base coat" and then 1-2 coats of Full n Soft Waterproof over that.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
My favorite mascara is Clinique High Impact mascara. I love every thing about Clinique Naturally Glossy mascara better, except Clinique High Impact mascara does not smudge under my eyes at all, while Clinique Naturally Glossy mascara does a bit.. but since that's my pet peeve with mascaras, I use the High Impact mascara!
Both are amazing. Both lengthen my lashes (High Impact lengthens more, while Naturally Glossy curls more). Neither clump my eye lashes, both last a very long time, and can look natural to dramatic.
