Grande Cosmetics GrandePRIMER Pre-Mascara Lengthener & Thickener

Creates a base that increases volume and length. Ideal for thin eyelashes, mascara lasts longer

so on each masacara or lash review i have been leaving my backstory: i have recently really wanted to try lash extensions and even had appointment scheduled but just realized its a bit much for me. Not only it is expensive but visits are 2 hours long at least and need constant fill ins. Am afraid if i try just once, i will love it so much that i will want to keep getting them done and its just not something i want to upkeep or pay for at this time on a routine basis. was looking for the next best thing. Of course we know that mascara will not be the same as false lashes so one has to be realistic here but i wanted to find the one that came the closest. i was currently using Benefit "They're real" and found this to be great so far and was using a Lancome primer. had tried other fiber mascaras that had fibers w/the mascara itself so did not need the primer. these did not work as well for me and the best one i found actually was so hard to get off and clumped like tar almost so i had to finally send back. i like the primer being separate b/c for my bottom lashes i do NOT want them to have the fibers so simply do not use the primer but can still use my own mascara. i also tried magnetic liner/lashes and just the lashes. was not a fan of any of it so was going back to the mascara....this primer is the best so far! every mascara claims to thicken and lengthen and be 3D. the key (at least for me) is finding one that has fibers in it and the best is when they are in the primer. I have normal, decent lashes so the fibers really add to that nicely and make a huge difference in length and volume. Then i use my own mascara (so Benefit They're real and lancome grandiose are my favorites) and it looks great. Again, if i compared side by side of my wearing false lashes compared to the mascara, of course they do not look the same. however when i just wear the mascara w/o a comparison, i have in fact been asked if i got the extensions b/c compared to what i had before, its a huge difference. so i am very happy w/that outcome.

I had purchased the mascara by this brand and later decided to try the primer. The mascara is a thick black formulation, so, you don't need much primer, Still, I liked the primer because I have really thin and short lashes. But, when I use the primer it gives me more volume and length. Be sure to let it dry down before applying mascara. Actually, I think this will work with any mascara. I have used Lancome primer before and this is on par with that one.

My fav primer

I really like this product and considering I am a long time Lancôme cls user, that is saying something. Its only faults are 1st it dries white so if you have black lashes and miss a spot with mascara it leaves a white lash area. The 2nd is it’s really hard to get off even with eye makeup remover for waterproof eye makeup. Otherwise it’s better than Lancôme’s product.

I love these products. My lashes remain in amazing shape and have grown tremendously with all GrandeLash products

It’s ok, much prefer their eyelash serum. This product is a bit messy and there are better products out there. They should stick to what they are good at and that’s the eyelash serum

Medication has made my eyelashes brittle and shorter. This visibly lengthened my eyelashes! I love it!Make sure you read the directions. You put your mascara on immediately after this stuff.
