Mascara recommendations?

I'm fed up of buying mascaras, only to get home and use them and it still look like I'm not wearing any mascara!

I've recently had a baby, so most days I haven't got time for my usual routine of foundation, liquid eyeliner etc. Some days I just have time for a bit of mascara. As it might be all I'm able to put on, I'd like one that's quite dramatic (if that's the word?) as in, I want it to make my eyes 'pop', so that I don't look so tired basically!

Any recommendations would be appreciated :)

Someone mentioned doing 3 coats of Younique ... The new formula means one coat is plenty :-)

Have lost my gel tube ... This has reminded me to go pull the bedroom apart as 1 day of going back to No17 was more than enough. No length, flakey and a pain to get off.

Younique is a load of shite. Avoid that stuff (and the people who flog it) like the plague.

Tons of great budget options in any Boots or Superdrug.

Each to their own Anemones ... I tried loads (including many listed here, Maybelline Falsies and Max Factor Masterpiece for a start) and didn't like them ... We can't all like the same products or there'd only be one brand for each Wink

atm i really like the clinque chubby lash, the black honey colour is really lovely a bit different and it lasts all day

Benefit roller lash is so good, no flaking no clumpy bits and comes off pretty easily. Gives my peepers a good fluttery look

I bought the Younique one on a whim and have to say I really like it. I thought it was a load of bull when it popped up constantly on my news feed but will definitely buy it again as I no longer need false lashes on the odd occasion I go out.

Lancôme Hypnose every time. Lovely long lashes but not too much for daytime.

Max factor masterpiece max

Roller Lash flakes on me Confused

Avon Supershock Max (teal/green tube) is ace.

You don't need to get branded LVL. You can go for a lash lift and tint. That's what LVL is but they are a brand name of the most pricey one.

I'm using Better Than Sex by Too Faced. My SIL asked if I was wearing false lashes its that good.
