tarte Opening Act Lash Primer Travel Size — Conditioning Lash Primer, Vegan & Cruelty-Free with Vitamin C

tarte Opening Act Lash Primer is a white-tinted lash base that primes, conditions and visually lengthens lashes to boost mascara performance. This lightweight primer lays down a buildable, creamy white veil that helps mascara grip each lash while delivering conditioning ingredients like vitamin C and castor oil. The wand is designed to reach roots and coat hairs evenly so you get fuller-looking definition, enhanced curl and improved volume when you follow with your favorite mascara. The formula is vegan, cruelty-free, and tested by ophthalmologists, making it suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

How does Opening Act improve my mascara’s effect?

Apply this primer before mascara to create a slightly textured base that mascara can cling to, which amplifies volume and length. The white tint also helps you see and coat every lash, so products deposit pigment more evenly for bolder results.

• 360° magniLASH brush reaches lashes from root to tip for even coverage

• Helps mascara adhere better for longer-lasting wear and intensified curl
