Clinique Lash Building Primer

Firstly we'd like to apologise for being on what seems to be some sort of Clinique trip. We not quite sure why every other product we're reviewing seems to be made by them. We promise this is the last one - well, for a little while at least.

Anyway, sorries aside, this product deserves your time and attention. Launched 6 months ago alongside the fantastic High Lengths Mascara, we picked up a tube of this thick, white primer back in January after being blown away by it's credentials.

Presented in a white slender tube, the fluffy brush dispenses a generous cream coating which gently conditions and protects each lash. It only takes a couple of swipes of the wand to notice the primer's ability at highlighting length and volume you might never have known you had.

Literally taking seconds to dry, the primer is soon ready to be coated with any formula of mascara you desire. We decided to keep it in the family and teamed it up with Clinique's High Lengths in black/brown.

Not once during application did the primer flake, crumble or drop. Staying firmly cemented to each lash, we were able to wiggle the mascara wand into every nook and cranny with both comfort and ease.

8 hours later and the lash building primer is still going strong. Friends have remarked on the length; work colleagues have remarked on the volume; even the boyfriend is smitten with how fluttery our eyes appear. So all this from just one swipe of primer followed by a single coat of mascara? Who knew mountains of compliments were so easy to come by?!

We love this product. It's transformed so many mascara's we'd otherwise dismissed into fresh, fantastic formulas we now truly enjoy wearing. At only £10 a tube, it might just give your mascara wardrobe one of the cheapest overhauls it's ever had.

Clinique Lashing Building Primer is available internationally and at clinique.co.uk for £10.
