AIBU to ask for your game changing mascara? Can't seem to find a good one!

POsting here for traffic.
I have decent enough lashes but like a mascara that doesn't clump or smudge, that glides on easily, and gives length and volume without going spidery. I know, moon on a stick.
Anyone got anything that fits the bill?

L'Oréal telescopic is the one I keep coming back to

I've tried loads and always go back to maxfactor masterpiece max. Really good volume and length without looking like a spiders legs. I've used it for about 8 years now

Eyeco lash alert, it's now sold in M&S amongst other places.

Estée Lauder Sumptuous Extreme is absolutely amazing. L’Oréal Miss Hippie is a very good copy.
Mascara is my thing. I wear mascara and eyeliner 24/7. I’ve tried most of them and at one point, I had about 25
I’m working my way through them all as I’m determined not to buy any make up or lotions and potions till I’ve used them all up. Plus, I’m skint

Maybelline falsies lash lift mascara best I've tried x

This - the waterproof one though

Clinique glossy
Lancôme defencils
Maybelline falsies

@Icouldbehappy ooh could you recommend a black liquid liner as well then please? :)

Having spent ridiculous amount of money on mascara over the years I think I can say I’ve tried mostly every brand. The one I buy in bulk is Essence Lash Princess from Wilko (there’s three different versions) and are all great; at only around £3 it’s my holy grail for eyelash volume!

I have tried all of them from Chanel, and Yves st Laurent through to Barry M and Avon.
I keep coming back to Maybelline. Theirs are the only ones that do the job for me.

No mascara looks good on me. I now get strip lashes on Amazon Subscribe & Save every couple of weeks. I use them instead of mascara.

Maybelline Sky High and another vote for the Essence one from Wilko, I find the best one is the one in the green tube 😊

I always go back to Better Than Sex by Too Faced.
And the best eyeliner I've ever had was by Kat Von D.

I can recommend Nyx liquid eyeliner - glossy and no ‘drag’ on application. They have lots of fab colours if you’re feeling brave; I wear Sapphire’ a lot which is not aptly named, being bright blue and a purple one as well as normal black.

Fenty does bonkers colours but even I’m not brave enough to wear bright pink or neon green eyeliner anymore!

@Pivotthesofa
This is a great felt tip eyeliner which stays put; I don’t use liquid eyeliners though.
Prefer a pencil or felt tip. My go to colour is teal as it suits my eye colour.
Usually buy Avon Glimmersticks or Kiko Milano. Have had a great one from Aldi as well.

Soap & Glory Thick and Fast Mascara

I’ve tried so many over the years of all prices and brands but I always go back to YSl faux cils

Just coming on to say this

Got it in a summer beauty box and I love it

I've just got the Wilkos Essence in pink tube for £2.99. Been to the gym and a run, didn't budge. Great for the price!

The fact that the first 10 (minimum) responses are all different suggestions speaks volumes!

I too seek the holy grail of mascara but don't know where to begjn. This thread is no more of a solution than gazing at the selection in Boots....I had such high hopes when I saw the thread title

Another vote for L'Oréal telescopic

Burberry Cat Lashes, it’s the best one I ever tried!

Tom Ford badass, but ridiculously expensive. Second favourite is Lancôme monsieur big .

I second Lancôme Monsieur Big mascara - it’s fabulous & recommended by the queen of makeup artists, Lisa Eldridge. I use the waterproof. And for eyeliner, Stila Stay All Day Waterproof - & I’ve tried LOADS!

Clarins!

It’s quite pricey but I very recently got Benefit They’re Real Magnetic mascara and it’s awesome. Only a couple of coats needed me it curls, lengthens and separates my eyelashes wonderfully.

See if you can get a sample at the Benefit counter in Boots, or buy from QVC so you can get your money back if it doesn’t work for you.
