The Mascara Thread

[Rubie girl]

I just bought Lancome Hypnose Precious Cells that promises to turn the lashes naturally fuller and longer by the time we wear it... I started to wear it every day to see if the magic happens

I think I mentioned this in the 'Budget Friendly Makeup' thread, but I've now been using it for a few weeks and wow, a major thumbs up to Covergirl's Lash Perfection Mascara! I've personally found that LashBlast flakes off (a lot) on me, but not this one! One coat looks super natural, but it also builds up so nicely. No clumping or flaking! I highly recommend this!

I have short, straight lashes and seriously can't live without L'oreal Double Extend Mascara. It makes my lashes long and thick. I've tried so many (Dior show, Lancome hypnose etc.) and they don't stand a chance.

Was giving my HG mascara Diorshow, a break and was testing out the YSL Faux cils and Givenchy Phenomen .The YSL was okay at separating but no drama or or length as for the Givenchy one, it really lengthen my lashes but in a spidery way, which I don't mind but sadly both of them transfer under my eyes. For some reason I can't rap my head around that but definitely going back to Dior.

Does anyone know of a good waterproof mascara that gives a lot of volume and length? Only wear mascara when I go out, but I think I might be allergic to it because my eyes ALWAYS water and destroy half of my makeup I use YSL faux cils, but it doesn't matter which one I use, they always water..

I also experienced a reaction to Faux Cils, I believe it was because of the strong fragrance. It was such a bummer, as I loved the way that mascara made my lashes look! If Maybelline's Full 'n Soft is available in your country, I would go for that. They have a waterproof formula as well. It gives length and volume, builds up well, and doesn't clump up. Covergirl's LashBlast waterproof is also good, I haven't reacted to that one (however, I wouldn't recommend the regular formula, which flaked off like crazy on me). If you really want to use a department store brand, I'd go with Shiseido. They don't make waterproof mascaras (I'm not sure whether that's what you're after), but none of them flake, run, or smudge at all.

I wear Helena Rubinstein Lash Queen Feline Blacks and so far it's the best mascara i've own. It gives great volume, lengh and it is waterproof.

You could try it, I highly recommend it!

I tired Lancomes, YSLs, Chanels, Diors and I decided to come back to good old Max Factor's Masterpiece Max.

^ it's the best one out there

Diorshow Iconic and Inimitable were always my favorites, but nothing, NOTHING will ever beat They're Real! by benefit.

no clumping, no smudging. my lashes are superlong and after 12 hours they still dust my eyebrows when I look up. the brush is amazing. It's a little wet when you first use it but after a few uses it is so SO legit.

 

[Edita]

My fave is L'Oreal's Lash Architekt

 

[FleurDeLys]

I said this before, and will say it again because I will use this forever: Chanel Inimitable intense. This is a dream, doesn't clump yet gives nice volume and length. Doesn't smudge and doesn't make my upper and lower lashes stick together when I blink (happens a lot to me with other mascara and I HATE it).

 

[juneseventh]

My HG mascaras: Imju Fiberwig, Clinique Lash Power, Benefit They're Real!

Sephora is now selling minis of the Benefit mascara for $10. I stocked up already b/c I think it's a much better deal than getting the full size for $27 and having to trash it 6 months later anyway when it expires.

So I've been wanting to try a dark brown mascara for a long time and I swear by covergirl's lashblast volume so I thought I would pick it up in dark brown rather than black. Well they only had it in waterproof and since it was on sale I bought it anyways. Bad decision - love the dark brown, much more flattering, however I hate the formula. Its clumpy and it definitely doesn't make my lashes look voluminous. Bad buy .

If you are looking for something from the drugstore, the L'Oreal Voluminous in the brown shade is quite nice. I wear it every day to work.

^ Thank you . I'll check it out!

ysl singulier
rimmel max volume
dior iconic or armani eyes to kill..

my list looks similar

 

[99 Apples]

go try the new Diorshow Newlook! beautifully lengthening and not clumpy at all. it replaces Iconique as my favorite Diorshow for sure

They're Real by Benefit and Chanel Inimitible are still my top two, but Newlook is a 5-star mascara.

what I really need it a nice, lengthening drug store mascara that doesn't flake!! I'm thinking of the new revlon photoready 3D because it looks so much like they're real.

I have yet to find a mascara...waterproof or not, that does NOT transfer to under my eyes.
Over the years, I have probably tried them all. Everything transfers.

Any ideas??

I like waterproof Maybelline Define-a-lash. Have you tried it?
