Volumized Lashes with Kiko Building Base Coat

Ela·
KIKO Building Base Coat Mascara | Base coats can make a big difference on lashes, you can achieve full dramatic lashes, click through to check out how Kiko Building Base Coat Mascara performs.

With every mascara advertisement, volumized and long lashes are promised to us.  How many mascaras have you tried in order to find the perfect mascara that gives you full volumized lashes like how it looks in  many advertisements? How many times do you have to tell yourself that you won't be fooled by the advertisement but you end up believing them anyway? In order to achieve something close to false lashes effect without applying many coats of mascara, eye lash primers like KIKO Building Base Coat Mascara come into the game.

Eyelash primers and I never got along very well. The ones I tried made my lashes so sticky and the result was a disaster after applying the mascara, so I didn’t try any for years, it just wasn’t my thing. KIKO Building Base Coat Mascara made its way into the basket when I was about to complete my order, it was all for the sake of getting the free shipping.

KIKO Building Base Coat Mascara Review

KIKO Building Base Coat Mascara claims to give up to 169% more volume than regular mascaras, which is a big promise, don’t you think so? I must say I was kinda fooled by this promise, I mean who wouldn’t want that. Once you apply it properly, boom, you see the effect immediately. Lashes definitely look fuller and well defined. Even though it is a really lightweight coat, it takes a while to dry out, so this is one thing that I don’t like about it, I just hate waiting in general! Once it is dry, lashes still feel soft (I kept touching my lashes, it seriously feels soft and I look weird with white lashes), so you won’t struggle with applying mascara. After the mascara, you will be surprised with the volumized look and also good thing is lashes don’t get clumpy. Again, the one thing you might not like is to wait, it feels like with this coat the  mascara doesn't dry quickly, however, I won't complain about it. KIKO Building Base Coat Mascara definitely changed my mind about primers, maybe there’s hope after all!

KIKO Building Base Coat Mascara

The wand has short and long fibres, which make the product gets on the lashes evenly. Since I’m used to silicon wands, I find the fibres a little hard, but they are not harsh or anything. It is something I can live with in order to achieve full lashes. Also, the shiny silver packaging is so sleek, it doesn't feel cheap at all.

If you want a dramatic look then I would highly recommend KIKO Building Base Coat Mascara. Also, if you’re new to primers and you don’t want to pay loads of money on highend ones then this one is a good start.

Are you one of these people who believe that mascaras can give you fake lashes effect? What are your thoughts about the primers? What’s your favourite primer that makes a big difference?

Never thought about using a base like this before for Mascara. I like the idea. Also keep hearing lots of people talking about Kiko, which is a new brand for me as I never tried any of their products. I'm looking to try some soon now. Gemma x www.jacquardflower.uk

Julia Speaks14 Mar 2016

I feel like Kiko never disappoints! I've never tried any mascara primers because I thought it'd be just a trend and that it wouldn't work - I'm always very weary of products like that, and I never believe in mascara ads because I'm sure they're actually wearing fake eyelashes or something haha. This primer sounds good though, I'd love to try it out - maybe if it's good enough then you can get away with wearing a mascara that's not so great! And it's true that it must look funny to have white eyelashes! Julia x Last post: Everyday Makeup Favourites | http://juliaspeaksbeauty.blogspot.fr/2016/03/my-everyday-makeup-favourites.html

I haven't tried an eyelash primer before, or even heard of them! So your post has definitely taught me a lot about them Ela! I definitely would like to try this one though, as I sometimes find that mascaras can make my lashes look thinner. I recently started using Maybellines' Lash Sensational though and I think that definitely gives a false lash effect. Although before that I had never tried a mascara that gave my lashes that much volume!! - www.veebzboo.com - www.youtube.com/veebzboo - How to get LONG and HEALTHY hair FAST

I've surprisingly never heard of a base coat mascara but mascara is my hold grail makeup item, and would completely love anything that makes my lashes look dramatic and full, this sure does sound right up my street! And I practically love anything from KIKO, its so affordable and for a great quality ♥ tipscapsule.blogspot.com

False lashes definitely do the trick, however it is kinda hard to apply. Once you get used to them, you wouldn't ever want to use mascaras :)

Babes, I have never tried an eyelash primer. Ever. (I don't think I need to but it's always nice to know there's an option lol). This a mini revelation for me. Thanks for the review, girlie. I am a strong believer in a mascara giving you a super full look. I get people asking me all the time if I'm wearing false eyelashes, and I don't. Either I am lucky or I use a pretty fab product haha :) Hope you are having a great Friday, sweetie! Have a lovely weekend! <3 xox

There are some mascaras that give the super look, but some that do the opposite. It is tricky to find a good mascara :) I guess you're lucky yo have gorgeous lashes ;) Have an amazing weekend, dear! <3 xx

That's a very big claim which they have! It's great that it adds volume but doesn't clump the lashes. The L'Oreal superstar mascara has a primer in that which can be quite clumpy! Charlotte // www.charlottespicks.com

A really great review! I used to use lash primers years ago and found they did make a big difference.

Yasmin Hakim19 Mar 2016

I definitely need more volume rather than length. Is this one of those things that adds synthetic fibers to your lashes? I'm just a little unclear on the term primer - usually it means something that helps keep the rest of your makeup on longer. But if this makes your lashes more voluminous, I assume fibers must be involved, but correct me if I'm wrong. I'm a little wary of fibers as I feel like they tend to shed onto the skin underneath your eye as the night goes on, which can look scary. But if this doesn't involve synthetic fibers to make your lashes thicker, then I'm totally on board with trying it! xx Yasmin http://banglesandbungalows.com

EB
Ela BellaWorld29 Mar 2016

There are primers with fibers in it but this one doesn't have it. Some of the fibers cause fall outs and I hate it. Primer is like a mascara, it kinda coats the lashes and prepare a volumised base before mascara. x

Wellemma19 Mar 2016

The only mascara primer I've had was one that came with a Loreal mascara. It had two products in one and I always did like it. But this Kiko one sounds like something I should try. I have a lot of lashes, but they are stick straight with almost no chance of curling :D If I do curl them they look short and won't stay that way for too long. I'm writing this on my wishlist right now! Sounds so great :) Thanks for the review lovely <3 Emma xxx www.wellemma.com

Elizabeth aka Ela20 Mar 2016

Haha I definitely stopped counting how many different mascaras I've tried before. I did try a primer before, but I believe I believe it was with Cover Girl a long time ago! I would definitely be up for trying another one again. I mean whats another mascara to try, right!?:p lol. So far one of my fav mascaras is by MAC. However, I always tend to apply way too many coats just to get that extra fullness and volume and end up running out of mascara way too quick www.wunderbliss.com

EB
Ela BellaWorld29 Mar 2016

In order to achieve good volume, layering mascaras is a must:) my lashes aren't thick or long so I need to apply good amount of mascara to get them look volumised :) I haven't tried any mascara from MAC, when I'm in the store next time, I will give it a try :)
