That's it really. High end/mid end/bargain basement.

Max factor 2000 calorie has always been my favourite. I have tried many others and always come back to this one.

blueberry2310 · 15/01/2016 11:19

Thanks for all your replies. Going to buy a few and have a try.

lancome virtuose
or
chantecaille faux cils - original version (still £, but great)

chumbler · 15/01/2016 19:23

blueberry if you go to beauty counters they could try it on you, and sometimes they might give you a sample size to trial too :)

Eachleechsparethumb · 15/01/2016 19:49

Maybelline falsies

chipsandpeas · 15/01/2016 20:10

mac haughtybut nice or benefit roller lash

bishboschone · 15/01/2016 22:37

I have long lashes but they are blonde , I use max factor 2000 for evenings . For the day I use boots collection lash length .. It's £2 and really really good!

LynetteScavo · 15/01/2016 22:41

Maybelline Colossal Volume. (The yellow one) Waterproof version.

I've tried lots, but it's the best for me.

Smittenkitten2015 · 15/01/2016 22:43

Benefit Roller Lash, and I've tried a lot!

Smittenkitten2015 · 15/01/2016 22:50

MAC false lash effect is great too.

WrenNatsworthy · 15/01/2016 22:53

Lancome Definicils

isamonster · 15/01/2016 23:00

Lancome hypnose star - I have to use waterproof or I get panda eyes. This one is great. Doesn't budge.

mowglik · 15/01/2016 23:22

My hands down favourite is seventeen HD falsifye.

Before that it was Dior show (gave very black dark lashes), max factor masterpiece or false lash effect by Maybelline I think. All great but imo seventeen falsifye blows them out of the water

blueberry2310 · 16/01/2016 10:22

I forgot to say I'm in Oz so unfortunately the Boots ones are out of the question. I have the they're real benefit one, which I like but I'm always thinking there has to be something better. The holy grail of lashes...

There's lots of food for thought here and will definitely go and ask at the beauty counters. Good idea.

The Max Factor ones which is sort of a bullet shape tube has always worked well for me.

High end I like Dior Black out.

CozyLinusBlanket · 16/01/2016 13:02

Clinique High Impact (though I've never had to buy one, I either get the travel sized ones they give away with Glamour, or trade in an mascara when they are doing the department store swap.)

I can't stand those stubby plastic wands. It has to be a proper spoolie.

Olecranon · 16/01/2016 13:05

Another vote for they're real benefit mascara and ysl.

wickedwaterwitch · 16/01/2016 13:06

I asked this of friends recently and was recommended Estée Lauder sumptuous which I've just bought and is fab

GirlOverboard · 16/01/2016 13:37

Max Factor False Lash Effect 24 Hours

Higge · 16/01/2016 17:53

Love Eyeko Black Magic - waterproof and one of the few mascaras that doesn't give me the spidery look.

DurhamDurham · 16/01/2016 17:56

Maybelline. The normal one not the waterproof mascara.
I hate all waterproof mascaras, they are a pain to get off. I know that's the point but when ice used them in the past it felt like there was always a bit left behind.

Meeep · 16/01/2016 18:01

Max Factor 2000 Calorie.
I've tried others but I never like the brush shape of anything else.

PollyPerky · 16/01/2016 19:20

Lancome Hypnose- soft lashes no matter how many coats you apply- I do 3 -4.
