Need a new mascara

17 replies

I'm looking for a new mascara which will volumes, lift, lengthen and generally make me look like I have false lashes.

I've tried extensions and lash lifts but I can't get on with them so it has to be a mascara. Price isn't a concern , don't mind cheap and cheerful or high end, just want something that make my lashes look amazing!

Thank you in advance!

I've recently got a sample of Nars Climax mascara and it is hands down the best mascara I've ever tried.

L’oreal Paradise. People make comments all the time, it goes on like a dream, and it costs less than a tenner.

L’Oreal telescopic... always try others but end up disappointed and back to this one.

Yes to the l’oreal Telescopic. I like it too.

I thought I would treat myself and get a more expensive one and had a consultation with the Lancome rep. I told her I wore contact lenses and she recommended the Hypnose doll eyes. £25 down the drain. Expensive is not always better.

L'Oreal Telescopic all the way. My lashes are the shortest in the world, it makes them look like other people's.

I've just bought the L'Oréal paradise one and so far I love it!

littlecabbage · 06/09/2018 22:08

I love the Autograph (M and S) High Definition one.

saganorenscarandcoat · 07/09/2018 12:17

L'Oréal Paradise for me too!

I'm currently using a Primark mascara. It's in a gold bottle and is fabulous!

I've used many high end mascaras over the years and this one is definitely the best. I think it was £3.

Dior Pump and Volume. Will never buy anything else ever again. I have tried drugstore, Lancome Hypnose (meh) Benefit They're Real (gloopy foulsmelling mess) and other high end ones.

My boss came in last summer and I honestly thought she'd had extensions/dye job over lunch. I bought some that same day. It's the first thing ever to give me proper long, curled lashes.

I will share with you my secret, people always ask if I'm wearing falsies. First of all, liquid liner in between the lashes and then a fine line on top. Next do a good layer of mascara on all lashes and when still wet "nip" the ends only of your lashes to pull off the majority of the product. Push your lashes up into place and then leave to dry as you finish the rest of your make up. Finally do another good layer of mascara. What you are aiming for at the end of this palaver is plenty of product at the base of your lashes to add volume and then fluttery long lashes towards the end, with no clumps or spiders legs.

Essence range at Wilko. Their white primer followed by Lash Princess. It's amazing! For me it's better than ones I've spent ££'s on.
