Curling Eyelash Base Cream

Lashes keep their lift from the first coat of mascara to the last. A light cream swept through the roots sets the shape of the curl, separates each hair and leaves a clean surface for colour to cling to.

Beeswax and polyvinylpyrrolidone give the texture its hold: the cream keeps the upward sweep you make with a curler and holds the lash line crisp through a working afternoon or a late dinner, with less smudging under mascara. Fine, short hairs at the inner and outer corners pick up product too, so the eye reads wider and more open.

Use it for a bare, softly defined eye, or as the first step of a fuller evening lash. Straight lashes that resist a curl, and sparse corners, gain the most. The 4g pot holds enough for regular use and closes tight between applications.
