this is the BEST mascara base i've never use, i've tried many different brand and found that it's the ONLY one can curl all day dont drop and of cause ~ it's really can volume up!!~ no other choice!!!!if u want to choose a long effect mascara base, find mablelline XXL white one~~ it's can really help~ but the mascara of XXL it will drop~ so only try the white side!!~ :D
