New for 2024: Best Mascara Primer to Hold the Curl
I thought this would be a great time to update my “Best Mascara Primer to Hold the Curl” because there’s been a lot of changes! Pmel Essence has been my all-time favorite but it’s getting harder and harder to find. You can still purchase it here.
Having naturally straight eyelashes I’m always searching for a product that holds the curl without using waterproof mascara. Another favorite of mine that is clear just like the PMEL is Kiss Me Mascara Base, but this has gotten difficult to get as well. So, we are still on the hunt for clear products that are easier to access.
So, currently, Dr. Fixer or Kiss Me Volume are the best options. Both have slight fibers, Kiss Me is black and Dr. Fixer is slightly more clear.
I still follow the same steps for the past 20 years!!
Step One: A must-have is an eyelash curler. I prefer the Shu Uemura brand but you can use any brand that you’re comfortable with. Start from the base of your lashes and quickly close and open the eyelash curler. Move the curler halfway up towards the tips.
Step Two: Apply any of the best mascara primer to hold the curl: Dr. Fixer, Kiss Me Volume, Kiss Me Mascara Base, or Pmel. This step is the KEY to keep your eyelashes curled. As a friend once told me “ it’s like hairspray for your eyelashes”! The primers dry fast, so I do one eye at a time.
Step Three: Now add your favorite mascara! I feel any mascara has worked with these primers. My all-time favorite for many years is Lancome Hypnose Drama. The brush is curved, and I feel the bristles are spread out so it separates the eyelash. The formula is volumizing if you use one coat it’s more spidery, and two coats give volume. If Lancôme is too high-end for you a drugstore dupe is Maybelline Volume Express Falsies. If you have issues with smearing then Kaylin swears by Caliray Mascara! I love mascaras and below I have reviewed some of the mascara’s that I’ve tried.
Step Four: My last step is to use a comb mascara. I like to use a volumizing mascara first to give volume and then follow it up with a comb-type mascara to separate the lashes. I absolutely love Browlash but like the PMEL it is hard to come by. I’ve tried several comb mascaras for a replacement. At this time Loreal Telescopic seems to be the best.
Eyelash primer to create volume: my favorite is Channel LA BASE Mascara
