Can someone please recommend a mascara that doesn't leave me looking like a panda!

    I always use waterproof mascara for this very reason. I've found Kiko mascaras very good (and to get it off, Nivea eye make up remover - does the job and doesn't seem to irritate my eyes) HTH

    Clear mascara.
    Life is like a bath, the longer you are in it the more wrinkly you become.

    Have you thought of having your eyelashes dyed? I have mine done and it's very effective

    Clinique works for me. I've got deep-set eyes and long lashes, so the mascara wipes itself off if I'm not careful.

    The new l'oreal lash paradise in the waterproof formula gives me an amazing look as well as being the first lower end mascara that doesn't give me panda eyes. Essence's lash princess in the black and green packaging is also pretty similar. The most waterproof / budgeproof mascara i've ever owned is the Estee Lauder Sumptuous Volume Extreme Waterproof mascara; wore it on my wedding day through all the tears and sweating and it stayed perfectly in place.

    I also use the loreal lash paradise, under benefit they’re real.

    The most bombproof I’ve found is loreal double extend waterproof in the blue and white tube. It’s actually too bombproof, I can’t get the damn stuff off!! Fab mascara though.

    I did thanks but couldn't stand the feel of the damp dye on the lashes and got them to remove it instantly before the dye had taken :o
  • I use soap and glory, the one you usually get in the £30 xmas box.

    At the moment I have russian false ones on but when I don't I love S&G

    I use Blinc mascara, intended for sensitive eyes. It forms tubes on your eye lashes and is waterproof. Remove using warm water and gentle fingertips. Normal stuff causes my eyes to water so I end up with panda eyes before it's had a chance to dry.
