ETUDE Dr. Mascara Fixer #02 Black (23AD) | Long-Lasting Smudge-Proof Mascara Fixer with Care Effect | Eyelash Primer | Korean Makeup

I have straight short eyelashes and to be honest I’m surprised it keeps my eyelashes up.

I was really disappointed with this mascara. It makes my lashes clump together almost immediately, which completely defeats the purpose of using mascara in the first place. No matter how carefully I apply it, I end up with thick, stuck-together lashes instead of a defined look. Also, the tube feels surprisingly light, which makes me wonder if there’s actually much product inside—though that might just be my impression. Overall, this mascara just didn’t work for me and I wouldn’t repurchase it.

I purchased this mascara because it advertised its ability to hold a curl. The packaging is actually pretty unique—it comes in a soft plastic tube rather than a hard shell, which I found interesting. The formula itself leans more on the drier side rather than being very wet. It doesn’t provide a thick, voluminous look, but it does hold a slight curl. Just don’t expect anything dramatic. The results weren’t disappointing, but they also didn’t wow me. The color is a deep, true black, which I really liked. Overall, it’s a decent everyday mascara, but not one I’d reach for if I wanted bold, high-impact lashes.

Makes the most of my 2 mm lashes, but tbh pretty hard to remove with just a water based face cleanser- you may want an oil based one so you’re not ripping out the precious few pretty eye hairs

I used to think that I didn’t need to use a lash primer to get my lashes to stay up if I used Asian mascaras. And technically I don’t… but I will say it does help my lashes stay curled all day as someone with hooded, oily eyelids and stubborn Asian lashes. And my lashes stay up all day with just this alone. You could wear this by itself for a more natural vibe, or wear this with mascara (I use the heroine one) for a more dramatic look.
