Mascara recommendations for sparse short lashes.

the_devil_made_me_do_it

My eyelashes are pretty much non existent & most mascaras I have tried just don't cut it.

I need a mascara that I can use to help make my eyelashes stand out without looking clumped together or transfers onto my eyelid because my lashes are so sparse.

If anyone in the same boat as me could recommend a suitable mascara then it would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have this problem at all, but really sympathise. It might not be suitable, but have you tried Lancome Hypnose? I use it and find it amazing (my lashes are a bit short). It's a bit expensive, but you can usually get a sample at the counter if you ask nicely.

what about trying something like this It's a bottle of black fibres which you brush onto freshly mascaraed lashes and thickens and lengthens your lashes. It's best to use a wet mascara not a waxy one. It's quite pricey (I think I paid £25) but it lasts forever. I have short skimpy blond lashes so I use mascara every day!

Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara - use it on ALL of your lashes, top and bottom. It has a mini brush, you don't have to wipe any off the brush and you can catch every little lash without overdoing it.

What about Benefit 'Theyre Real' mascara. It's the Freebie with Elle Magazine this month so you will get to try a travel sized one before forking out the £18 for the full sized tube! Wont waste too much money if you dont get on with it! I think the magazine is about £3.60ish.

Do you have avon products there? I have bought one before and from avon.

Mine are the same!

I use estee lauder sumptuous bold. I never buy a full size one. I always buy the samples off ebay. I usually get two for about £7.00 and they last me about 2 months. The full size ones are about £22 but i was told they are only supposed to last for a month.

I wouldn't normally recommend ebay for cosmetics as there are lots of fakes but I don't think that is so much of an issue for testers!

I can't use those fiber things as I wear contact lenses. Have actually tried them before & didn't think they were actually up to much.

To be honest I don't mind paying the money out if the results were worth it.

It's all abit hit or miss with mascaras, because if you don't like them, you can't actually return them to the store.

Will have a look for some samples on ebay & will also try and get hold of Elle magazine too.

If money's not an issue what about extensions?

butterfly..I have had extensions in the past & they have always been a complete disaster lol.

Because my eyelashes are so spase & short, they always have trouble attaching the extensions.

Which colour packaging of the Sumtuous Bold do you buy? I've looked on ebay & there are trial sizes, but the colour of the packaging are different.

Also, does this mascara come in waterproof?
