Mascara is what makes your eyes look big and bright. But, there's something else you can do to make your mascara even better: add a top coat. A top coat mascara is a special type of mascara that is applied after your regular mascara. Here are some great top coat mascaras on the market today.

My only real issue with this product is it stays moist on lashes and therefore you should use waterproof mascara over top or you’ll experience smudging. For reference: Grande Lash: dries quick and lengthens Tarts opening act: great volume (but buy mini size as the product dries quickly in the tube) Dior: great volume but can get clumpy with multiple coats... must separate lashes to get it to look good, Lancôme: volume and length but not extreme If your looking for WOW results, I like to do two coats of grande lash, and one of tarte, OR this morphe one, with 1 coat of mascara (best is liquid-y mascara). ...I use my own mascara first and apply this as a top coat. This makes my lashes super long and I love it has a hint of blue!
