Cape FOR ACTIVE Curl Lock Mascara Base

Verdict

Kao's Cape for Active Curl Lock Mascara Base transforms an average mascara into one that holds curl all day, with one creator calling the difference "night and day." It glides on glossy, sets firmly, and is smudge-proof and water-resistant, but requires an oil-based cleanser or balm to remove. For best results, apply mascara while the base is still slightly drying.

This is actually a mascara base and the thing is you can wear it as your mascara but it's designed to kind of prime the lashes and keep it there locked in place for all day.20:03–20:10
I tested one eye not using a base and one eye with the base with this mascara. And it's night and day.20:15–20:21
It took this mascara, which is actually very average because on my one eye, my lashes drooped. It didn't hold the curl. It was not amazing whatsoever. I actually wouldn't rate this without this. But with this, it was insane.20:18–20:33
It was smudge proof. It stayed all day. It held the curl.20:39–20:44
When you use it at first, it glides through every single hair so smoothly. It's actually a little bit glossy and then when it sets, it really sets.20:41–20:50
If you're like sweating a lot, if you rub your eyes and anything that's related to like water resistance, this literally locks your eye in place to the point where like a normal cleansing oil actually won't take it off easily.20:53–21:02
And how I get it off is with a balm. And you got to like slowly melt it in there. And that's how much it works.21:10–21:15
When you put it on and it's still starting to set, that's when you want to go in with a mascara over the top when it's still slightly drying. And it will give you the best long lasting effect.21:15–21:23
