    Boots No7 mascara is fab, stays put all day and doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes. I wear navy so I'm sure they'll have brown!
    If you want a more expensive one, go for Clinique Naturally Glossy mascara, that's also long lasting and doesn't irritate.

    I wear brown mascara.

    The best I have ever found is 'Boots natural collection', only about £2, but I have tried everything Dior, Lancome, etc.etc.

    I have very sensitive eyes and I appear to react to most mascaras, but this one is fine - even the waterproof version. I hope to God they never stop producing it!

    I've used Clinique naturally glossy for a couple of years now and it is a great daily mascara. Not too dramatic, good for sensitive eyes, never clumps up on me and lasts all day. In fact, I usually have trouble getting it off!

    OK DS wedding is in just a couple of weeks so I'm off to get a Lancome and Boots Collection mascara tomorrow.

    Black just seems a bit harsh against an older skin, sounds really weird when 10 years ago I never left the house without makeup and never thought twice about this stuff just went out and got on with it.

    Sigh...

    Hi Armchair, did you end up buying these two products? If so, please tel us what you think! Would be interested to hear how they compare with each other!

    Bought the Lancome Hypnose Drama but they didn't have the Natural collection one in stock.

    Working tomorrow which is most definitely a no make up environment, I'll attempt to be gorgeous on Sunday !
