Help me S & B gurus: I need mascara - these are my extensive requirements...

[OhFFSMary]

A) Won’t fall off my eyelashes during the day

B) Not too harsh - I have sensitive skin, use benefit at the moment and that’s ok apart from problem A)

Is there such a product which fulfils these tough criteria?!

I've used Clinique Naturally Glossy mascara for years, it stays put and doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes.

I always use Rimmel
It eventually flakes off the following morning if I fall asleep with it on otherwise stays put and even the non waterproof ones don't run with my dreadful hay fever which is impressive

I can't remember the names, ones bright orange and the others lime green

Clinique lash power

Have a look for a tubing mascara. It stays put but then you just rinse it off with warm water. It was a complete revelation to me!

Estee lauder doubleware no smudge is one but there are many others available.

Dior Pump & Volume is the Holy Grail for me, but I don't know how it works with sensitive.

Clinique Lash Power.

Stays put. No smudging.

Washes off with warm water.

Eyeko The Skinny

Too Faced 'Better Than Sex'

Yet another vote for Clinique's Lash Power. I once cried off all my eyeshadow and that mascara stayed intact!

Lancôme

Right, off to have a look at the Clinique range as they seem to be the front runners, thanks for all the suggestions!

It sounds like you’re after a tubing mascara. I’ve been using Kevyn Aucoin curling mascara recently and it’s great. You don’t get a really full on look from it, but it’s just right for daytime.

Tubing! Clinique Lash Power, or my new excellent find: Maybelline Snapscara. Very nearly as good as Clinique but more than half the price so good way to try a tubing one. They don't flake or smudge and wipe away with warm water.

I swear by Chanel mascara

Boots No 7 in the gold tube is a good tubing mascara. The only thing that shifts it is a shower or a hot flannel.

What is the difference between normal mascara and tubing mascara?

Since I read this article I’ve been using L’Oreal Paradise. I’ve honestly been asked by friends, family and even strangers what mascara I’m wearing. I’m very happy.

@OhFFSMary

A tubing mascara in theory does not smudge. It adheres to the lash in such a way that you remove it by “pulling it off” as opposed to kind of scrubbing or wiping it off.

Tubing mascaras typically give a less thick lash coverage too but avoid the “junkie smudge” that you can get from fat lash mascaras like Benefit They’re Real or Maybelline brands x

I keep hearing about tubing mascaras on here...dense question but how do you know which ones those are?! Don't think I've seen them specifically being identified as such unless I'm being blind?

Thanks Paul! Sounds a bit grim though - pulling them off [smile - how do you avoid pulling your eyelashes out?!

The mascara sort of just wipes away with hit water. No residue, no scrubbing, just gone.
