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

Keeps lashes straight up all day, but hard to get off

Bought the clear so my eyelashes would hold a curl when I’m exercising. Yes there is a milky tone to it but it isn’t noticeable with a thin coat. It’s EXTREMELY effective and hard to remove. I could see this working when swimming.

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

This product says it helps keep eyelashes curled, creates volume, and is clear/transparent. For me, the only part of this that was true was the clear/transparent part. I curled my lashes and applied the product. Within just a few minutes they were mostly back to being straight with a slight crimp to them. I let it dry and then applied mascara and the results were even worse than the straight lashes. My lashes resembled tarantula legs after just one coat of black mascara. Definitely not the look I was going for!

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.

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.

If you have super straight, stubborn Asian lashes like I do, you need the Dr. Mascara Fixer from Etude House in your routine. This little tube may look simple, but it’s an absolute game-changer when it comes to holding a curl and adding volume. I use it before applying mascara, and it acts like a primer that locks in the curl from my lash curler. Normally, my lashes fall flat within minutes—even with waterproof mascaras—but this fixer holds the curl all day long, even through heat and humidity. Not only does it keep the curl in place, but it also adds a subtle lift and volume that gives my lashes a fuller, more defined look. And it doesn’t clump or make your lashes feel crunchy, which is a huge bonus. If you’ve struggled with your lashes refusing to hold a curl, especially if you have straight or downward-pointing lashes, this is the secret weapon you’ve been looking for. I don’t wear mascara without it anymore.

I have classic straight short Asian lashes and this primer really helped prep my lashes for mascara! I am stocking up for sure!!

This Products makes my Eyelashes so noticeable, I put this one before i use mascara and my lashes does not go down!

I have stubborn straight Asian lashes, I always go for waterproof mascara, even then some wetter formulas makes my lashes fall after 4h. The tube has small amount of product but little goes a long way, for hygiene sake you don’t need that much product anyway for a few months. Apply 1 thin coat this to fix a curl, comb it out, then apply waterproof mascara, your curl will last all day. It’s cheaper to buy in Korea but at least you can find it on Amazon.
