Which mascara next?

My Dior mascara has gone a bit clumpy so I’m due a new one. I was never that impressed with it. I’m after length rather than volume. In the past I’ve liked Clinique lash power and benefit rollerlash. Is there anything else around that’s worth a try at the moment?

i like this one a lot x

Marking place as another who needs length over volume.

HelenMummyof2 · 07/06/2019 20:20

Try benefit 'They're real' mascara - it's the best I've ever used. Gives volume and totally stays put.
They do mini versions so you can try it first - or ask to try at the counter, they're really helpful.

Oo, I haven’t tried They’re Real. That one looks interesting sleep but reviews are either 1 star or 5 star. I always think I’ll end up being a 1 star!

I love max factor mascaras, they just work for me but I have long thick eyelashes to start with.

whyonearthnot · 07/06/2019 22:15

My favourite ever is MAC Extended Play Gigablack Lash. Lots of length and separation, zero smudging or flaking and a brilliant thin brush.

Justkeeprollingalong · 07/06/2019 22:18

Rimmel Super Lash, tried them all but always go back to this.

Blueuggboots · 07/06/2019 22:24

I've just bought a revlon ultimate all in one that I really like.

simplekindoflife · 07/06/2019 22:25

I've tried so many mascaras, but I always come back to Max Factor False Lash Effect.

isabellerossignol · 07/06/2019 22:27

Urban Decay Perversion mascara is excellent.

WeKnowFrogsGoShaLaLaLaLa · 07/06/2019 22:27

Benefit Bad Gal Bang! It's literally awesome.

MadisonAvenue · 07/06/2019 22:28

I'll also recommend They're Real. It's the only one which lasts all day and stays where it should for me, plus they also do a brown which suits me more than black mascara.

salty78 · 07/06/2019 22:32

Another vote for Mac Extended Play Gigablack tubing mascara. I think it's on offer at Debo's at the moment. I'm usually a Benefit fan but just discovered the Mac and it's amazing.

ShirleyPhallus · 07/06/2019 22:32

Charlotte tilbury for me. Best mascara ever.

I do not like benefit’s “they’re real”

macchiato34 · 07/06/2019 22:48

Maybelline Lash Sensational is great, have used it for years now!

DoingItForTheKids · 07/06/2019 22:51

Hourglass Caution Extreme Lash. I've tried 100s and this is my fave so far.

polkadotpixie · 07/06/2019 22:55

I'm loving Essence Lash Princess Volume mascara at the moment

I know it's marketed at a volume mascara but I find it very lengthening and it's only about £4 😊

Which mascara next?

Loreal telescopic is my go to mascara. Been using it for years now and always come back to it. Although I think they're phasing it out now.

I got a really good soap and glory one in a gift set for Christmas that I'm thinking about buying again.

DeRigueurMortis · 07/06/2019 23:00

Hourglass Caution Mascara.

It's brilliant. Loads of volume without clumping and stays put.

It's hands down the best mascara I've ever had.

ineedmydinner · 07/06/2019 23:02

I've just got this: www.boots.com/lancome-hypnose-volume-a-porter-mascara-10199993

Love it!

cad186 · 08/06/2019 08:34

Lancome volume a porter or max factor false lash effect

burnyburny · 08/06/2019 09:19

Always, always Max Factor False Lash Effect for me. Haven't even tried another in years. No need.

Banhaha · 08/06/2019 09:28

I like lancome hypnose. It doesn't look to over the top for work. The max factor false last effect is good when I want something I bit more dramatic.

AuntieMaggie · 08/06/2019 11:15

I love the soap and glory thick and fast mascara - when my last one went clumpy I replaced it with a Rimmel one and am regretting it!

lhastingsmua · 08/06/2019 11:27

I would go back to Roller Lash, it’s my absolute favourite mascara.

They’re Real is a lot more lengthening though, might be worth a try?

I also really love MAC in extra dimension 3D black mascara too - it’s again very lengthening and a generally great product
