Can someone recommend best lenghtening mascara?

Size Queen mascara by Too Faced is beyond this world, seriously its worth every penny

I just bought the Lash Lifter Gel Volume Mascara from the new Marc Jacobs Beauty line yesterday and I have to say I'm quite pleased with it so far. It gives me a little less volume than some other volume mascaras I use but it lengthens my lashes very nicely and it's easy to apply.

I had the Lancôme Hypnôse Star mascara before that and wasn't happy with it at all, it smears, becomes clumpy and is itchy; though it definitely gives great volume.

My all-time favorite is still Illamasqua's Masquara

Hmm, i think i might try that jacobs one at some point..

Forget what I think of her personal and professional choices. But I do have to say that Miley Cyrus's eyelashes lately are perfection. Take the Wrecking Ball video - I love the "wet look" of her eyelashes. Really defined, clumped together in a good way (not spidery or clumpy in the traditional sense) - it looks like she just got out of the pool or the shower, or if she's just had a cry. Anyone know of a mascara that can help me perfect this look?

^ I bet you can achieve that look with any new mascara, when it's being more wet.

Can someone recommend a mascara that really works as defining your lashes? You know, best defining mascara? I hate all that clumpy, thick unreal look that most mascaras do..

If you're looking for mascara that subtly defines lashes I think you should look for those with non-silicone, straight brushes since they usually give less dramatic effect (from my experience). Here are some of those which look very natural on eyelashes:
- Chanel Sublime de Chanel Mascara
- Helena Rubinstein Lash Queen Feline Blacks mascara
- Maybelline Full 'N Soft Mascara
- Clinique High Impact Mascara (the classic one)
Hope that it helps!

My favourite mascara is about to run out - LashGasm by Too Faced. I don't want to pay 20€ for a new tube though... does anyone have any recommendation? I used to like Rimmel's stuff but haven't used any in a couple of years, so Rimmel recommendations would be very welcome!

I don't know about Rimmel mascaras, I'm not a fan of them really, but lately I've been using Soap and Glory's Thick and Fast and it's great- very black and builds up easily with minimal clumping, you should check it out if you can get your hands on it!

I used Rimmels Sexy Curves a couple years back and loved it, I couldn't get it anymore so I stopped using it. Not sure if they still sell it but it was brilliant.

I can't get Soap and Glory here, unfortunately I shall check if they still do that one, daniellat!

Usually mascaras which promises "curly" lashes are the best quality.

Rimmel Sexy Curves is one of my favourites too, along with Extra Wow Lash. I found they work great for me!

Maybelline One by One Volume Express. I absolutely love it, it defines every single lash without clumps. Pretty much perfect.

 

[nita-karoliina]

Thanks! Is it the one in red tube?
