Can you recommend your best mascara? Obviously the cheaper the better but also want good quality!!

Eyeko
Black magic

Usually £18 but Corona seems to have bumped to £23 glares at Amazon. But it's alright. I haven't worn any for a month

247SylviaPlath · 21/04/2020 21:54

Essence - green one only not the others - cheap as chips and ace. Get mine on feel unique but sure available elsewhere

CanIDigIt · 21/04/2020 21:55

Might be available at M&S too

Terralee · 22/04/2020 17:15

I like Clinique high impact £20

Chesterfuckingdrorrs · 22/04/2020 17:20

Benefit they're real. No clumping, flaking or panda eyes.
It's a bit of a love hate one but definitely works for my fair thin lashes. I always get sucked in to try others but they're never as good so they get abandoned and I go back to benefit.

Hairydogmummy · 22/04/2020 22:54

Another vote for Benefit 'they're real' with the matching primer. The primer on its own is fab for lockdown natural look. Eyeko good too...the blue one but it's a tubing mascara and can be harder to get it all off.

Anthilda · 22/04/2020 22:59

Benefit they're real or Lancome monseuir big

chipshopElvis · 22/04/2020 23:18

All the eyeko ones are fab.

London1066 · 22/04/2020 23:19

I really like Superdrug's own brand of makeup called B. Their mascara is great, reasonably priced and cruelty free. Winner!

Alicatz66 · 22/04/2020 23:34

Too Faced .. "better than sex" .. best one I've ever used

Girlintheframe · 23/04/2020 06:38

Depends on the look but Clinique waterproof for natural looking lashes or Two faced better than sex/Benefit their real for a more exaggerated look.

hollieberrie · 23/04/2020 08:10

Clinique lash power or Loreal telescopic
I have short stubby blond lashes and these are the best 2 for giving the illusion of a full flutter Grin

onlyconnect · 23/04/2020 08:48

I have tried so many over the years, including many recommended on here and rarely found one I really love. I found a really good Barry M one a few years ago which promptly got discontinued.

My current favourite is Bobbi Brown No Smudge Waterproof Mascara which really doesn't smudge on me.

TeddyIsaHe · 23/04/2020 08:50

Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye mascara is The Best. It gives soft, glittery lashes. No clumping, and it doesn’t flake or smudge. It’s the only makeup product I’ve consistently repurchased.

TeddyIsaHe · 23/04/2020 08:50

Fluttery!! Glittery lashes don’t look that good day to day

Catrabbit75 · 23/04/2020 09:00

Maybelline ‘lash sensational’

Toomanydishes · 23/04/2020 09:52

I second Maybelline Lash Sensational and I have also discovered a Kiko Milano one, it is called Standout Volume
I bought it when I went for a weekend away and forgot my mascara at home.

MrsBunny2018 · 24/04/2020 22:21

I use The Mascara Revolution by Makeup Revolution which is about £8 and I can honestly say it's just as good as Too Faced's Better Than Sex. It's also really easy to remove too.

damnthatanxiety · 24/04/2020 22:23

Slightly off topic but how does anyone wear non waterproof mascara? Tears, sweat, rain, rubbing your eye. How does it not end up everywhere?

BumbleBeee69 · 24/04/2020 22:29

I don't wear waterproof mascara and I never had smudging.. ever..

hernamewasrio · 25/04/2020 03:35

Cheap and fabulous is the NYX one in the pink packaging I think it's called something like 'lift' but it's amazing! Great easy brush too for separation.

More expensive but there's always codes us Tarte Gifted.

hernamewasrio · 25/04/2020 03:39

Here it is NYX on the rise. I'm a bit obsessed with trying new mascaras - a marketers dream - but really rate this.

Nars climax or too faced better than sex.
Be careful with benefits there real, it can make your eyelashes fall out.

BusterGonad · 25/04/2020 04:24

I hate waterproof mascara, it makes my eyes so sore when removing and is far too stiff.

noodlezoodle · 25/04/2020 04:30

My absolute favourite is Blinc but it's expensive.

New, cheaper favourite is Loreal Bambi mascara. Lengthens and curls, not too clumpy, doesn't make you look like a drag queen.
