Of mascaras that is. I have tried loads but none help with my spindly short lashes. I want length and fullness. Last two I have tried: too faced better than sex = amazing but flakes everywhere; benefit they're real= three fat eyelashes and crap to remove.

I know one of you lovelies have stumbled across the best mascara in the world and want to share your good fortune with me and the rest of mn. I'll try anything!

Lancôme doll eyes is lovely.

Look at Lisa Eldridge videos for advice.

Max factor 1000 calorie followed by No 7 stay perfect.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/05/2017 22:08

Benefit Rollerlash

NiceCuppaTeaAndASitDown · 19/05/2017 22:10

Clinique High Impact or Dior Diorshow High Definition Lash Curler Mascara are both amazing

pheebo · 19/05/2017 22:12

Max factor false lash - and Ive tried high end always gone back

Funnyfarmer · 19/05/2017 22:18

Have you tried the "there real" remover?
I love the soap and glory one in the gold tube. One of the best I've ever used.
Also like the urban decay precision one.

PatMullins · 19/05/2017 22:22

Another for Benefit Rollerlash

thethoughtfox · 19/05/2017 22:57

YSL False Lash Effect or Diorshow Iconic. Do it.

Lancome volume a porter, I've tried loads and always end up going back to this one. I have recently found this article so might try some of the better looking ones. www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/beauty-hair/makeup/a20999/best-mascaras-tested/

Second vote for Lancôme Volume a Porter. Nothing beats it!

CantChoose · 19/05/2017 23:53

Lancôme hypnose. I often try new ones full of promise but I come back to Lancôme every time.

ParadiseLaundry · 19/05/2017 23:53

I have also spent a long time looking and this is by far the best I have tried. Imo, it's not so much the mascara product that's important, but the wand and I HATE those fat, old fashioned wiry fibre brushes. Give me a plastic one any day!

I mascara "cocktail": apply benefit rollerlash for volume and curl, then benefit they're real on the tips to build length

noitsnotme · 20/05/2017 00:03

Always go back Max Factor False Lash Effect. Think it's the Voluminous one now, but using the brush from the previous version of it.

McTufty · 20/05/2017 00:10

Max Factor Masterpiece. Always.

foodiefil · 20/05/2017 00:13

Benefit They're Real = for proper volume lashes
Lancôme dolly eyes = day wear

RonaldMcDonald · 20/05/2017 01:25

Wonderlash clarins

memyselfandaye · 20/05/2017 01:27

Max Factor False Lash Effect.

The waterproof one is actually bombproof.

KickAssAngel · 20/05/2017 01:39

Lots of Vit D to help hair/lash growth, and Maybelline.

CakeThat · 20/05/2017 07:45

Bourjois volume clubbing in ultra black makes a huge difference to my short lashes, plus I use Rapid Lash which has helped lengthen them a bit.

MugwumpJism · 20/05/2017 07:53

Hate to say this but mascara coats lashes, it doesn't miraculously produce long and thick from short and spindly.

I have a lash lift, it's makes a hell of a difference

TeddyIsaHe · 20/05/2017 08:02

Bobbi Brown smokey eyes mascara, makes my stubby straight out lashes long and fluttery. I spend half my day fluttering them in mirrors at myself now 😂

MrSlant · 20/05/2017 08:05

I have short stubby lashes that stick straight out with no curl what so ever. I've just got them permed and tinted for the second time and every time I look in the mirror I have a little internal because they are now so pretty. Shallow I know but I've had invisible lashes my entire life and now they are so pretty Grin. I barely use mascara now and it used to be something I'd never leave the house without, even if I was dying.

user1495261305 · 20/05/2017 08:07

By Terry. I bought this recently in Space NK in Canary Wharf on the sales assistant's recommendation. It is by far the best mascara I have ever used. And it's cruelty-free.

fruityb · 20/05/2017 08:08

I had a L'Oréal double ended one in a purple tube that used fibres to extend your lashes - worked pretty well though can't remember the name for the life of me!!
