Mascara???

I find that YSL False Lash Effect can not be beaten. I have actually been asked if I'm wearing false eyelashes.

DiorShow is decent, but the brush is huge so application is harder. Many people rave about Benefit's Bad Gal and the various Max Factor mascaras, but these just do not work for me - especially Badgal which was pretty poor IMO.

I love Bad Gal

The shedding does bug me, but it's something I'm willing to put up with for gorgeous eyelashes

I love max factor max. No clumps and makes my eyelashes look really think. Had a lot of compliments about my eyes since I started using it

I have several favorites depending on what I am looking for:

For dark, dense lashes that are fast to apply and don't smudge or smear under heat:
DiorShow Waterproof (a pain in the ... to remove though!)

Maybelline's collosal lashes is also good for dense lashes but I tend to find the cheaper the brands, the shorter the life in them- I can get through a maybelline wand in a month, my DiorShow has lasted several months and there is still life in it!

For light even lashes that don't stand out too much (the natural look when you have blonde lashes and want them not blonde!) Lancome have a few, definicles and virtuose are good.

The new one from Chanel is also good- it does not clump- whilst not as good at extending or darkening, the no clumps thing seems to work way better then any other mascara. And the formula does not smudge, flake or smear and is fairly easy to remove. Just no "wow" look.

I love DiorShow, i've never found anything better - the brush is huge and does take a bit of getting used to. It makes my lashes look thick and full, they are a bit sparse still after sneezing when curling my eyelashes years ago, ouch! I use the waterproof version, it truly is budgeproof and can be a pain to get off!

I tried Benefit Bad Lash and didn't rate it at all. x

My fav is Estee Lauder Magnascopic, lots of volume and stays put until you take it off recently I won a Rimmel Sexy Curves which was surprising good, sometimes mascara gets on my nerves so I use eyelash extensions from eyelure instead.

I love YSL False Lash effect one but I find it goes clumpy and dry very quickly. YSL Everlong is also very good. However, I have recently tried Dior Iconic. I hated Dior Show with a passion so didnt expect to like this one but it's fantastic! Gives a really full lash effect and stays put. It comes in waterproof and non-waterproof. I have been using the non-waterproof one and find it needs a little extra effort (& more eye make up remover) to remove it at night....I imagine it might take dynamite to shift the waterproof one

Thanks people, lots of different opinions there.

I did do a search but it didn't bring up anything much, just posts where the word 'mascara' appeared which wasn't what I wanted. Mascara is so expensive and I've wasted enough money in the past looking for that elusive one that does just what it says in the blurb.

Thanks again for your opinions.

It's worth using an eyelash primer before applying mascara. It makes a noticeable difference to your eyelashes.

I've been wearing clinque double lash (silver tube) for years. But which ever mascara you wear you should always keep a spare clean wand and run it through your lashes after coating them, stops the clumps.

My DD swears by YSL faux cils.

I need uber waterproof, so I like Perscriptives here-to-stay & Lancomes waterproof ones.
