5 Eyelash Primers That'll Give You Glam Lashes All Day (And Night) Long

False lashes scare me and I have no intention of conquering that fear. Lucky for me and any other false lash scaredy cats, Fashionista recently pointed out how glam mascara primer options to create extra dramatic lashes are totally starting to pop up everywhere. I’m obviously totally excited, since it means I can get all of the extra voluminous glamour of false lashes without accidentally getting glue in my eyes (or nostrils. It totally happened once. Please don’t judge me).

I rounded up five of my total favorite primers, all of which stand out for their unique brushes and easy application. Whether you’re a falsie master or disaster like me, these primers are totally worth adding to your make up bag. Bonus points because all of these primers are paraben-free. Yay and then some!

Urban Decay Subversion Lash Primer

Urban Decay’s Subversion Lash Primer is super user-friendly, with a thick application brush that has tons and tons of little bristles that prevent clumping, along with a super creamy, smooth primer formula.

Tarte Best in Faux Lash-Extending Fibers

Tarte’s Best in Faux fibers are amazing because the product literally wraps around each individual eyelash like a snuggie. Yes friend, lash snuggies. If that doesn’t say super glam, then I don’t know what does.

Blinc Lash Primer

Hey sensitive eye ladies, Blinc lash primer has got your back (well, lashes)! Blinc’s primer formula is totally free of dyes and fragrances, but does have Vitamin E and B5, which both nourish and protect lashes against environmental stressors. Basically, this is a drama-adding multi-vitamin for your eyes. Win.

Perfekt Lash Perfection Gel

Okay, what makes this multi-tasking formula super cool is that, beyond just priming, it also darkens and conditions lashes. It creates buildable but un-clumpy coverage, so you get to control the amount of drama with each coat.

Lashfood Conditioning Lash Primer

I’m super obsessed with Lashfood’s primer because the comb wand is like this big soft feather that so easily and softly separates lashes. And, beyond being paraben-free, this product is also 100% cruelty-free, so vegans can get their glam on, too!
