The Mascara Thread

[Rova]

^Thank you : ) I'll give that one a try if only I can find it in the stores.

I don't know if I really need glossy lashes but my natural hairs are kind of glossy so I figured it might help the lashes fit into my hair landscape (that sounded a bit disgusting).
With lashes that aren't naturally dark it's so hard to get the natural look with mascara.
I've tinted my eyebrows and I'm so happy I did but I'm a bit scared of tinting my lashes, would probably get the dye in my eyes...

^ I was about to recommend Maybelline Full 'n Soft too. It's great if you want 'natural' looking lashes. As far as the glossy effect, never tried it, but maybe you can try adding a final coat of clear gel mascara.

Why would you need a mascara that gives you a natural look? Though you could achieve it with every not-so-spectacular mascara (or even with the good one but layering it just once), that gives you a min. of volume, lenght and curl, but I don't see the point in that.

To darken the lashes without having to tint them I guess : )
Mascara doesn't work that well for me. My sister is a brunette with dark and somewhat thick lashes and it looks so natural when she wears one coat of mascara.
One coat on my lashes and they look like some bristles made from boar, like there's no way they grew out of my face .

I found Full n' Soft on ebay : )

I looove my Maybelline Full 'n' Soft! But recently using Revlon's 3D PhotoReady Waterproof just to hold the curl in my lash.. Any recs for other waterproof mascaras?! This one makes me lashes feel super brittle x

^ I never used waterproof mascaras, but since I was on holiday and wanted my mascara to stay in place all day, I tried L'Oreal Telescopic waterproof (the blue tube) and it was good! Held the curl and it wasn't a pain to take off.

clinique naturally glossy mascara also is goog for glossy,natural looking lashes.

i fell in love with maybelines the falsies feather look mascara. its good. you only need 1 coat. i used to get allergic reactions (like 10 years ago) from their older mascaras so i first didn't want to even try it. But thank god i did

I swear by Clarins Instant Definition.

Just wanted to say I really like the Full n' Soft mascara! Thanks to you who suggested it!

It's not near as heavy as most mascaras but still powerful enough to darken and give length. I got it in Brownish Black which is still a bit dark for the natural look but it's a good alternative to black. I was expecting a hint of chocolate brown but this brown is almost olive and I really like that!

I'll keep looking for a mascara with all natural ingredients, not tested on animals etc for the days I'm orthodox but for now I love this mascara

What's everyone's favorite brown mascara? I've always worn black but lately I've been thinking maybe brown will look more natural with my complexion and scandinavian-blonde hair. Has anyone tried the La Roche-Posay mascaras in brown?

I've recently discovered Rimmel Extra Super Lash Mascara. It is fabulous for a natural look. I wear glasses and have super duper sensitive eyes and I haven't experienced any smudging or irritation. Plus it's the cheapest mascara I have ever bought!

Meym, Fabulash from Revlon has good brown mascara with a natural look, but it's not waterproof.

I use Chanel's Sublime Mascara in Deep Brown and I love it!

Thanks for your replies guys! I'm trying Maxfactor 2000 Calorie right now, it's alright but a bit too sticky for my taste. Might go with Chanel next!

My favorite mascara of all time would have to be Max Factor False Lash Effect, highly recommend it if you like big lashes. The other one I tried recently and loved is Make Up For Ever Smoky Lash.

I like that one too. I suggest you try the Extra Wow Lash version, I like it a bit better than the Extra Super Lash one

I recently noticed that Maybelline's mascaras tend to smudge more than before- I will not buy Falsies Black Drama anymore because after an hour after application I end up with panda eyes...
I switched to Clarins Wonder Perfect mascara that my friend recommended me and I absolutely LOVE it, it makes my lashes sooo long, curly and thick! My current fave!

 

[versace4ever]

Volume Million de cils extra black or Dior show iconic !

 

[jemina]

There's nothing like Hypnose by Lancome.

I bought it again after 5 years and it's pure heaven. It makes my lashes perfect.

Can someone recommend best lenghtening mascara?

Never tried Physicians Formula mascaras, but I've heard great things about this one. Not sure how natural it really is, but it claims to be made with natural ingredients. It could be what you're looking for
