GrandePRIMER Pre-Mascara Lengthener & Thickener

GrandePRIMER is the white coat that goes on before your mascara and quietly does half the work. Grande Cosmetics builds it with peptides and minifibers that don't flake, so your mascara has something to grip. The moulded brush separates lashes as it goes, which is usually where clumpy applications go wrong.

What it actually does

• Gives mascara something to hold. The minifiber-and-peptide blend coats each lash first, so the mascara you put on next has more surface to build on.
• Fibers that stay put. Grande formulates them not to flake — the usual complaint about fiber products.
• Separates as it coats. The brush is moulded specifically for priming, so lashes come apart instead of sticking together before the mascara even arrives.
• Holds through the day. Smudge proof and water resistant, and the brand lists it as fine for contact lens wearers.

Brand-reported results

In a consumer study Grande Cosmetics ran with 31 subjects: everyone said their lashes looked fuller and longer, and 94% preferred their lashes with the primer on. Small, self-reported study run by the brand — results will vary.

How to use

1. Load the brush and sweep upward from the root of the lash out to the tip, exactly the way you'd apply mascara.
2. Don't panic at the white. It goes on visibly white — that's the point, it shows you your coverage.
3. Mascara straight away. Don't let it dry first.
4. Work one eye at a time. Prime one eye, mascara that eye, then move across. Letting the primer set makes the next layer harder to blend.
5. Catch leftover white. Close the eye and run mascara over the top of the lashes to cover anything still showing.

Questions

Will the white show through my mascara?

Not if you apply mascara immediately and go over the tops of the lashes with your eye closed. Any white you can still see is simply a spot the mascara missed.

Can I use it with any mascara?

Yes — it's a base layer, not a matched pair. It's designed to sit under whichever mascara you already own and boost what that mascara does.

I wear contacts. Is that a problem?

Grande lists the formula as suitable for contact lens wearers. If your eyes are generally reactive, try it on one eye first.
