Lash Primer: What It Does and Why It Matters
A lash primer is applied before mascara to enhance volume, length, and definition. It coats each lash with a creamy texture, helping mascara adhere better and appear more intense. Often white or light beige, it makes it easier to see coverage before applying mascara.
