I'm so happy Estee Lauder's lash primer formula has not been changed. The last time my order came through, I had purchased several, and they lasted for quite a while. About 20 years ago, I originally started using this product because my lashes were thinning. It seemed to be due to dryness, which I attributed to the continued use of mascara.
Lash Primer Plus gives my eyelashes a wonderful conditioning base, and allows better adhesion for mascara to stay in place without smearing. The conditioning nature is so superior that the thinning of my eyelashes has stopped completely, even though many birthdays have passed since I first started using it. Along with my natural aging situation, I also have severe environmental allergies, and always use top quality water proof mascara.
The result of using both products has solved watery eye problems, allowing me to makeup one of my best features, my eyes, in a safe and secure manner. Although very conditioning, Lash Primer Plus dries to a firm clear sheen, which I love as well. This drying nature of the product shapes and slightly curves your lashes before the final coat of mascara is applied. I believe that this firm conditioner aspect of the product has protected each one of my lashes over the years, which is an added plus on top of it holding the mascara in place at each application.
I certainly hope that Estee Lauder never changes their formula, as it has been the best conditioner I could ever wish it to be.
This lash primer is amazing! It enhances my mascara so much and without it my eyelashes wouldn't look half as long. It works even better if you curl your lashes before applying. Absolutely love it.
I am late to the Lauder primer party, but I am never leaving, this is far and away better than Chanel, Dior and all the rest combined. My lashes feel soft, this does not clump nor does it cause my lashes to lose the curl that I painstakingly do prior to any mascara application.
