Most Helpful Positive Review New Favorite For having only used 3 times now, I can already determine this is the best lash primer I have tried. I much prefer the violet color to a white one because it's not quite as noticeable if you miss coating the tip of one of your lashes--but don't realize it you're out the door. I'm at the age where I need to use ultra moisturizing eye creams. I slather it on my entire orbital area including all the space between my eye lashes and my eyebrows. I have long eyelashes, so if I don't use primer, my mascara will always transfer to the space under my eyebrows--leaving me with vertical black lines all over my brow bone. I don't like to wear waterproof mascara because it's more difficult to remove, and often results in the loss of a couple eyelashes when taking it off. Using a primer gives me the same long wear as a waterproof mascara, minus the difficult removal, plus added benefits of lash conditioners and fortifiers. I would definitely recommend this product to people who like lash primers. The design of the brush head is unique--it has a short bristle side and a really short bristle side, so it really does catch every lash. I only apply one coat of mascara after using this primer, and it makes my lashes look longer, thicker, and silkier.
Most Helpful Critical Review NOT how a primer is supposed to work!!! This goes on very clumpy, and it is not easy to separate once it is already on the lashes. It does not dry colorless all the way either. After I put on my mascara, I notice that I still have purplish-white patches in my lashes that have retained the color of the primer. However, my biggest problem with this primer is how FLAKY it is. As soon as I apply my mascara, I notice that I have little dried out "balls" of mascara at the tips of my lashes. I am 99% sure that this primer is causing this, because I have done my makeup with and without this primer and it only happens when I use it. I originally bought this primer so that I could switch to a cruelty-free product, but I was severely disappointed.
I already have naturally long lashes. Primers usually accent the natural length of them, and highlight their thickness. This primer honestly makes my lashes look shorter and more spindly because of how flaky and drying it is. It also does not hold lash shape at all, which is what I value most in a primer. Don't waste your money.

Great!
Pretty good 4
K8l8 from Portland, OR
Typically I use L'Oreal lash primer. I tried this because there was a slight difference in price, I was curious about the formula and I'm kind of a sucker for purple.
I like the formula, though I find it's better to let it sit on my lashes for a few minutes before applying mascara. If I don't wait, it mixes with my mascara and it's a mess. I think I still like L'Oreal better, but I'm going to keep working with this one to see if my issues are with the formula or Me, the one applying.
Thickening and a bit lengthening 4
Jodi from Washington
This is a Lavender primer. The wand has a flat side to lay on the product and nice firm bristles to extend it through your lashes.
works well 3

this product works really well, but way too much product comes out on the applicator
Didn't work too great 2
Typical Tiff from Honolulu, HI
I had high hopes for this product, but it didn't work for me. My eyelashes tend to go down, so I need to use an eyelash curler to get a good curl. After applying the primer, it no longer holds the curl and my lashes go back down after it dries. When I applied the mascara without the primer, it worked better. The only thing I liked about this product was that it did add a little bit more volume and it applies smoothly.
Prime Time. 4

I generally like Milani products as a drugsrore brand. This is a nice primer, smells good, doesn't make your lashes stiff and doesn't show through. It also lasts all day.
I like it 5
Teresa from Undisclosed
Still getting used to this primer but it is a very thick light lavender.
I wanted it to be the one 3
Ally1181 from NYC
I love the formula of this primer, but the packaging is horrible as there is SO MUCH product that comes out on the wand, I end up spending way too much time trying to scrape it off so it doesn't clump onto my lashes, which just creates a mess and a waste of product. Very frustrating because on the first of second use of a new tube, it applies beautifully and I love what it does for my lashes, but once product starts to build on the wand by use three, it's game over.
So bad 1
K from Idaho
I've used a lot of primers. And I was super excited to try this one the brush is unique and the idea of it being purple was interesting. But this was just a miss unfortunately. It clumps so bad no matter what mascara I put on top of it I ended up with spider lashes. And not to mention none of my mascaras flake on me but when worn with this I was flaking within 1-2 hours. 100% will be returning :(
Great primer 4
Mary from Dearborn Heights, MI
I've tried several primers and my go to was Urban Decay but its a little pricey, so I tried this one, great price, works really well, lengthens and conditions my lashes. My only issues are too much primer comes out of the tube when you pull the wand out, its like its missing a piece to control how much primer comes out, also not a fan of the the brush, not sure why the short brush side is really needed.
Goopy 2
Anna from Chicago

Luv2Sun from Ky
I returned this product because it was gloppy and made my lashes look awful. I usually buy Maybeline primer but it was out of stock.
Best eyelash primer 5
Susan from Naples, FL
This lengthens and volumes my eyelashes with any mascara I use.
Horrible! 1
Erin from Anchorage
When I put my mascara on top of it once it dried it flashed by the end of the night I barely had any mascara left on. I definitely do not recommend this and I like the Milani products
wow this worked very well 5
lbuclaire from Chicago, IL
i was surprised how much this helped my mascara look. I used the same mascara the night before without the primer and wow there is a serious difference. This helped my lashes to look even longer and fuller. The color did not show once I applied the mascara. This might be my new go to lash primer especially since its drugstore brand/a good price!
Not good 1
Brianna from Washington
I did not like how clumpy it made my lashes look. I will be returning this soon.

jdlf from Aurora. IL
love this primer, keeps mascara in place, helps hold a curl. my mascara don't look worn out by end of the day
It was ok 3
Alwayz on the go mom from Fresno CA
I was hoping that this would replace my high end product , but it did not . Although it did lengthen my lashes , my other product does it better . I do like the way my mascara covered the purple color . I would say it's average , I love a very long dramatic lash and this does give a very natural length to your lashes .
Will definitely buy again 5

Works great as a primer for the mascara.
How did I live without it 5
AJT from Oxford, MS
I love this product! My eyelashes have never been fuller. It's easy to use and lasts. I've used it with different brands of mascara with no problems.
Love It!! 5
nomes from Iowa
The length i get putting this on is remarkable.. Thank you Milani! Highly recommend pairing this with the highly rated Milani mascara or your favorite everyday go-to!
Yes, I would buy this product many times over! 5
Ruth from Undisclosed
I used this under my waterproof mascara; helps to thicken my lashes and keep the mascara put over 10 hours.
