Best mascara for sensitive eyes that stays put?

I've always like Boots No7 for sensitive eyes (am a contact lens wearer) but my last purchase hasn't been so good. It keeps flaking all over my eyes and looks rather rubbish after just a few hours.

Any recommendations?

my friend bought me Benefit they're Real and it's pretty good, wand takes some getting used to but no flaking and I have super sensitive eyes

My Mum has incredibly sensitive eyes and she swears by Maybelline One by One.

eyelash tint. i have very sensitive eyes, and as a rule, don't wear make up, but the one thing i do do, is have my eyelashes tinted, much better than mascara.

blinc mascara and primer I am a contact wearer and no lomger get bits in my eyes!

Bourjois Volume Glamour Ultra Care for sensitive eyes ( in the white tube, easy to spot ), is really great. Stays put all day.

Thanks ladies. There is a Benefit counter near me, so think I'll try that. Never heard of Blinc - where can you usually get that from?

super super sensitive and i defy anyone to be as watery as me. Can only use Clinique lash power or Kanebo Lavshuca. They're real is the smudgiest flakiest smeariest I've ever, EVER used. I can't tell you how much I hated it! Blinc - i love the eyeliner, wear daily, (best shade of grey I've ever found and so flattering) stays put well (apart from winged eyeliner..the winged bits don't last on me) but the mascara,no good for me. The tubes kept sliding off and had to keep flicking them off my cheeks. Mind you, that's better than having smearing and panda eyes, but still annoying.

Blinc from Strawberrynet is where i get my eyeliner from...or eBay. Make sure it is a sealed one though

Mine are quite sensitive, I alternate between No7's "Exquisite Curl" and Benefit's "They're Real" mascara.

The Aldi lacura mascaras are really good. And cheap as chips x

I'm a contact lens wearer with incredibly sensitive eyes. The only mascara I've ever been able to wear without my eyes itching and watering and the mascara smudging, is Clinique High Impact Curling Mascara. Better still, it washes off with warm water.
I've recently bought some Eyelure lash tint (from Amazon). I used to use it in my teens, and have just"passed" the patch test, so might ditch mascara altogether. If I remember rightly, you just have to be careful to do the ends only to avoid sensitivity.

I bought the Benefit one and wore it yesterday and was quite impressed. I think I may try the Blinc or Clinque ones next times as I do like a dark brown really. I will also try the Aldi one as soon as I next visit Aldi - cheap enough to try now, I would have thought!

Thanks ladies.
