This $7 mascara primer transforms volume and thickness in sparse lashes

There are few things you can do to fix lashes that have lost their hold after wearing mascara all day. As you apply additional coats of mascara, a few clumps will likely appear. And if you try to clamp them with a curler, chances are you’ll find some loose eyelash hairs in your sink. Instead of trying to revitalize your lashes after the fact, there is a way to keep them in place for the long haul: the Volumous Lash Primer Mascara by L’Oréal Pariscurrently on sale on Amazon.

Loved by shoppers, the primer gives your lashes extra curl and creates a more dramatic look. Even better, the $7 find also conditions your lash follicles to keep them soft and strong. When used with your favorite mascaraReviewers say your lashes will look so good people might think you’re wearing fake ones or extensions.

“That primer applied easily, dried quickly and I could see immediate results in lash length and thickness — before I even applied mascara,” wrote one five-star reviewer on Amazon.

Buyers can see such positive and quick results thanks to some of the key ingredients in the formula. panthenol (aka Provitamin B5) thickens hair, while Rosehip Oil, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, increases shine, elasticity and strength of your strands. As a dermatologist and scalp expert dr Francesca Fusco previously told StyleCaster“[omega-3 acids] are an important part of the scalp. A deficiency can lead to scalp and hair problems such as dryness and hair loss.”

“I’ve only used it 2 or 3 times now but holy cow!! My lashes have never looked so good in my entire life. It really makes my lashes look longer and separates them so they don’t clump,” wrote one shopper. “The best part is that it sticks firmly to the mascara and doesn’t let it run onto the skin around my eyes. I even fell asleep once without removing my makeup and my eyes looked just as good as the night before.”

To get thick, full lashes, apply the Voluminous eyelash primer on each eye, followed by your favorite mascara. Cover your lashes with mascara, one eye at a time, before the foundation has completely dried. And if you want even more volume, apply the primer in two coats for a stronger effect.

“A MUST HAVE FOR MASCARA USERS!” gushed another reviewer. “It thickens the lash hairs, separates the hairs (helps fill in the gaps making the lashes look fuller) and helps mascara adhere easily and evenly! PLUS it makes my lashes look WAYYYYYY better.”
