Mascara with a narrow brush

8 replies

I think my mascara application would be much improved if the brush at the end of the wand were narrower and cylindrical rather than big and tapering at the end.
I might have used this sort before but I cannot remember what the brand was. However, it was so long ago it's irrelevant.
Any ideas appreciated.

Clinique do a tiny brush with their mascara for lower lashes.
Would that help ?

I had a feeling that there was such a thing. The brush doesn't have to be short just narrow.

Actually looking at the Clinique website the High Impact waterproof mascara looks promising.

Clinique Lash Power has a narrow brush. I used to use another brand (it may have been Maybelline?) with an even thinner brush but it was discontinued. I also have far more success by not using the big brush type. I also tried a make that had a comb rather than a brush; I like the applicator but not the actual mascara.

This one from Bobbi Brown has a lovely neat brush. I can get tiny corner lashes and bottom ones easily with it. I like the formula too.

Another vote for Clinique's lash power which I've been using since it came out. Not sure if it's because I'm cack-handed, but whenever I've used the bigger type brushes I either end up poking myself in the eye or getting mascara all over my eyelid. Just to mention that Lash Power is a tubing mascara which some people don't like in terms of removal but I've never had any problem getting it off with a warm flannel held gently over the eye area for a few seconds. In addition it stays all day without flaking or smudging. It also lengthens and volumises my very straight (ie. downward dog) lashes without looking like a drag queen on a May Day parade.

Thanks for the suggestions, in town tomorrow so I'll have a look.

Yes, I use Clinique lash power and I love it. Easy to apply, comes off in the shower. Lashes look long and eyes look open but still look natural. Little skinny brush so can get into the corners too...
