A good mascara

Has anyone got the magic product I need?
Here's my criteria:
-Doesn't clump lashes
-Doesn't leave black dots under your eye when you go out in the drizzle
-comes off easily with an oil-free remover- the only one I have ever used that doesn't sting my eyes is Body Shop Camomile but I'm up for suggestions.

I use No. 7 in the gold tube. It wont shift all day. The only way to get it off is with a damp warm cloth, you dont use any make up remover with it.

Lancôme hypnose. I keep going back to it!

Rathkelter · 11/02/2017 08:57

That's sounds amazing. I hate putting stingy remover on my eyes. Might try that one. Does it have a name or is there just one that No7 do in gold?

How much is the Lancôme one?

No7 gold tube again
Subtle or can be layered for more of a look
I do curl my lashes first though

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 11/02/2017 08:58

No7 intense volume waterproof

McDougal · 11/02/2017 08:59

The gold soap and glory one is amazing. Doesn't shift all day and I use the Body Shop camomile balm to remove it with no problems at all.

AverysillyoldHector · 11/02/2017 09:06

the No 7 one is called Stay Perfect

L'Oréal - silver tube (false lashes) - telescopic, cheap but amazing. It does make your lashes really long,

A good mascara
AlfaMummy · 11/02/2017 09:21

I use Liz Earle, which is fab and is the only one I've found which doesn't leave marks on my eyelids from the upper lashes touching my skin, and flakes /smudges from my lower lashes under my eyes. However, once I've finished my current tube I am going to try Lancôme Hypnos as it gets mentioned on here lots. I've recently tried Benefit They're Real and a No7 freebie - both were shocking and reminded me after years of fab mascara from Liz Earle just how bad a 'bad mascara' can be! HTH

Millipedewithherfeetup · 11/02/2017 09:26

Another vote for soap and glory, gold tube, best mascara I've had in years !

BubblesDarling · 11/02/2017 09:27

Soap & Glory ( gold tube) this was my go to. However Clinique Flutter To Full Mascara is the best. Doesn't clump, smudge nor take any time to remove.

MiddleAgedMother · 11/02/2017 12:15

It's £23 I think so I try and buy when offers on.
But it last for ages - I've never had them go dry and clunky before they run out.
I have another one which I wear for swimming but can't remember what make - I don't wear it otherwise as impossible to get off!

CantChoose · 11/02/2017 15:46

Lancôme hypnose is the best I've tried. I'm using a channel one ATM which is ok but I'll be going back to Lancôme.

carabos · 11/02/2017 15:51

Bobbie Brown Eye Opening Mascara. Fab stuff.

Hopefully · 11/02/2017 16:59

Shiseido full lash volume. It is amazing and doesn't flake or smear (until the tube gets old, when it will get a tiny bit flaky). It comes off with warm water (not cold, so won't fall off in the rain) so no stinging eyes.

MrsT2007 · 11/02/2017 17:12

And if you don't want to spend a fortune try Wilko.

No, honestly. My sister wore it to the mac counter a few weeks back (she's an MUA anyway, getting supplies) & the girls behithe counter couldn't believe it was a £3 mascara.

I have the big lashes one and it doesn't flake, or clump, stays put and comes off easily with an eye make up remover.

Well impressed!

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 11/02/2017 21:51

I agree, Wilko mascara, nail varnish, eye brow set, and twist up eye pencils are fantastic.

YerDaSellsAvon · 11/02/2017 22:24

Too Faced Better Than Sex. It's amazing. I got one from Glossybox. It makes your lashes look fatter and fanned out.

dysongirl · 12/02/2017 02:44

Lancome hypnose Mascara is the best for me
Simple eye makeup remover is another go to product.

AppleMagic · 12/02/2017 03:23

Tubing mascara by Blinc. Completely smudgeproof but comes off water alone.

SuperBeagle · 12/02/2017 03:42

Bobbi Brown Smoky Eye is the best.

All of the Bobbi ones are good though. The formula is great but it also makes your lashes feel soft, not crunchy like almost all other mascaras do. I prefer the Smoky Eye one as the brush is smaller (very "classic mascara wand") than the brush on the Eye Opening one.

SharonBottsPoundOfGrapes · 12/02/2017 03:47

Ooh yeah Too Faced better than sex is fantastic! I also got one in my beauty box. I'm buying full size when this one runs out. I always get compliments when wearing it.

Ulysses · 12/02/2017 04:41

Another vote for Boots one in the gold tube. It has a really small wand as well, which is why I like it as it gives you more precision than bigger types. Plus all the things you mention.

Rathkelter · 06/03/2017 16:23

Thanks all. I went for Soap & Glory. So far so good but I don't think the wand is amazing, not much better than the Max Factor one I had. Might try Lancôme Hypnose next. Out of interest, what remover are you all using that doesn't irritate eyes?
