   I want to buy back ups of this. This worked really well for me. I used it on my eye brows also just to see how it worked for multiple things. It passed my test. I hope they continue to make this. It has an awesome formula that is not crusty or white. I bought mine at ultra for $12. This will stay in my favorite items bag. I am surprised more people have not tried this as I only see a few reviews here. I think this will go over my mascara any time I need long wear makeup. I will use it for a brow tamer every day.

   Since i find most waterproof mascara to be drying, hard to remove and a little expensive, I decided to use a non-waterproof masacara and pair it with a topcoated waterproof mascara. At first I was skeptical but after first try, I am sold. I have been repurchasing this product ever since. The formula really works. Even though it is clear and I cannot see whether the product is on or not when I apply, all I need is merely 1 or 2 thin swipes on the top and bottom parts of my top lashes and that prevents my non-waterproof mascara from smudging at the corners of my eyes during the day. I don’t like the wand itself because it’s wimpy and I am conscious about it being contaminated if I use it directly over my semi-wet non-waterproof mascara. So I normally use another clean mascara wand, the disposable one that I could get from any cosmetic counters, to apply the BareMinerals Topcoat. Bingo! Problem solved with the wimpy wand and my fear of formula contamination.

   I don’t find this formula adds volume or carry lash defining effect. It feels rather heavy and drags down my curls slightly and clumps my lashes sometimes. But once it dries, it holds the last position of the lash look. So before it dries, I use the same mascara wand (with the leftover BM topcoat) to quickly separate, curl and push the lashes upward during my second swiping motion. Maybe if I were to use the provided wand, it might make a difference but I doubt it since the formula itself is slightly heavy and using just 1 light swipe is enough to alter the lash position. So that is the downside of this formula but, price wise, I’ll continue to buy this product since it’s effective and economical.

   This locked and coated transforms any non-waterproof mascara into waterproof by first applying your favorite non-waterproof mascara and apply this on top. Walla waterproof the great thing is its clear you can even apply it to set you eyebrows. The brush is plastic not fibers super flexible and thin similar to the mascara brushes for the bottom lashes. It also doesn’t cause any mascara to be too dry or clump. The con is since it a waterproof coating you have to use a good eye makeup remover it a little hard to remove.

   This is a must have for me. I don’t like how difficult waterproof formulas are to remove, but if I don’t waterproof my mascara, it ends up everywhere. This has kept my mascara in place through snow storms and tears, and is a hell of a lot cheaper than the Anastasia clear coat!

   pretty good – i spent the entire day sobbing when my cat died and my mascara stayed put. i have extremely watery eyes normally so throughout the day my mascara would end up under my eyes. this stops it! if you have a similar issue i think you should totally buy this.

   This product is a waterproof lash topcoat. It’s transparent and colorless.
   And it’s absolutely amazing! You can use it over any of your mascaras and it won’t change the appearance of them. It makes the mascara waterproof: No smear, no smudge, no flakes.
   Finally I can use all of the fantastic mascaras – even if they aren’t waterproof itself.
   I LOVE IT!
