Lash Protect Waterproofing Prime Coat for Mascara & Brows, Waterproof, Tear-proof, Smudge-proof Mascara Fixer That Lasts All Day, Clear Waterproof Mascara by Mommy Make-up

Good but some waste
I think the product works well, but feel there is waste at the bottom of the tube because you can’t reach it!

New packaging as of Sept. 2022
I *had* been using NYX waterproofing topcoat over my Thrive Causmetics mascara. I like Thrive for my top lashes, but the bottom lashes flake and sometimes smudge like mad if I don’t use a top coat (I think it must be my eye shape? It’s always been an issue for me). I’m also a super-sweater when I exercise, so then it’s *all* a mudslide. NYX had been discontinued for quite a while now, my collected back-stock depleted, so I’m on at least my 4th or 5th tube of Mommy Makeup topcoat. The product is difficult to get evenly applied on my lashes. Post-workout and mid-workday, black flakes let me know when I’ve missed spots (even though I swipe, roll, and drag the applicator over all lashes, front and back sometimes to the point that my base mascara is removed…SIGH).FYI, they’ve now re-packaged to a solid black tube, so you can’t see the paste color turn as your black mascara mixes into the product from the brush. I’m not sure if they also reformulated, but this newest tube has not worked well for me AT ALL. I have a really difficult time applying thoroughly, despite my best efforts. It often looks like the paste isn’t on the brush at all, like it only collects on the very tip. So frustrating.It’s a pickle because Thrive makes my lashes look better than any mascara I’ve found (I’ve continued the search, wasted SO much money). Waterproof mascaras give my eyes a sensitivity reaction (cysts on my eyelids), and I can’t find any alternatives to this. For now, I keep purchasing, even though the results are “meh.”*edited as of 2/2023. I’ve cancelled my subscription, and changed stars from 3 to 1. It just doesn’t work. I do think they reformulated, as my old tubes (old packaging) work better than new tubes. But alas, they are too old to keep using safely.

No more smudges!
I wear waterproof mascara over a lash primer but still struggle daily with racoon eyes from smudges. This product has eliminated that! Mascara stays right where it should even through sweat and rain! It is a little tougher to remove, but a decent eye makeup remover product does the trick. The price is a bit high for such a small tube but I still think it’s worth it to FINALLY have clean eye makeup through the whole day!

Goes on goopy
I originally purchased this waterproofing top coat to use with some non-waterproof mascaras that I like but don’t wear often because I end up sweating them off. Once this product has been applied and dries it works like a champ, however it does go on very thick and goopy. Maybe it’s the applicator? It actually pools under my eyes and takes the mascara underneath right along with it which leaves me with raccoon eyes and an unwanted thick black eyeliner affect on the top lashes. Not sure if I’m allowing enough dry time between applying the mascara before applying this top coat, but I’m usually pressed for time when getting ready and spend at most 10 minutes applying makeup. I’d much rather continue to use the my trusty Avon Wash Off Waterproof mascara than have to adjust my entire routine.
