I need a fantastic mascara! Have you got one you can recommend?

I'm after a mascara that won't make my eyelashes stick together, crumble off, smudge or make my eyes sore.
Ideally one that volumes and lengthens.
Oh and I would also like the moon on a stick :)

Can anyone recommend a mascara they've used that fits the bill?

Hourglass Unlocked Extensions: game changer

Clinique lash power- only one that doesn’t smudge on me

AnxiousElephant77 · 14/10/2020 22:14

Lancôme Monsieur Big

My mascara also smudged until I got a ‘tubing mascara’ google it

Another vote for Hourglass. Extreme lash mascara is brilliant. If you sign up to their website you get offers like 10% off.

Collection Lash Surge Waterproof - cheap as chips and brilliant.

Nishky · 14/10/2020 22:18

An- lash power is a ‘tubing mascara’ - that explains it!

amieejust · 14/10/2020 22:18

Essence Lash Princess - False Lash Effect - is one of the best mascaras I've ever used, much better than the more expensive ones, and is a bargain price too.

Any Lancôme Hypnose. Amazing

Hoviscats · 14/10/2020 22:21

Fairly recent convert to Glamolash XXL. After years and years of searching for an amazing mascara I feel like I have found it!

Also a convert to eyelash serum (NYK1) which has made my eyelashes grow an epic amount in the last few months and has I am sure made the mascara hunt easier!

GlassOfPimms · 14/10/2020 22:22

The new one from L'Oréal called Air is the best I've ever tried. Really good coverage, non smudging and doesn't irritate my very sensitive eyes. Best beauty buy for me this year!

Charlotte tilbury new one pillow talk is so so good, honestly makes me look like I have false lashes

Elllllle · 15/10/2020 10:35

Diorshow pump and volume. Hands down.

MsMiaWallace · 15/10/2020 10:40

I keep going back to lash sensational by Maybelline. I use waterproof though.

coulis · 15/10/2020 11:13

Benefit Roller Lash. Look at the reviews. Makes eyelashes look like false ones

Gohackyourself · 15/10/2020 11:22

I bought no7 stay perfect after advice on here, same question.
But I’m gonna go back to clinque lash power when this ends.you can’t beat it!!
I work outside every day of the year bar annual leave and it never runs/smudges/flakes etc even in depths of winter.
No7 stay perfect is too clumpy too making my lashes stick together.
Lash power does not do this! It’s a tubing mascara that you need

The absolute best. I recommend it to everyone!
withlotsoflove · 15/10/2020 13:21

The very best ( l have found) is the new Avon 5in1 mascara.
It’s absolutely brilliant. Inexpensive too!

whiteonesugar · 15/10/2020 13:27

I've recently become a convert to primark mascara! I have a few different ones and they're great, all under £3 and cruelty free too.

The ones i like the most are the fat matte silver tube and the long thin shiny gold tube - cant remember the names...

Darklane · 15/10/2020 13:45

I always go back to Max Factor 1000 Calorie one.

hellisotherpeopleandhorlicks · 15/10/2020 15:47

I tried the Primark mascaras and they look good on but make.my eyes sore :(

So many to browse here!

I had forgotten Avon existed !

Following!
I would have said No7 Lash extender mascara but the last 2 tubes I've bought seem to have very little in them and have dried out way too quick for my liking. I thought maybe a one off with the 1st tube but the second is the same so I won't be buying more.

Yes, one of my faves and they do a waterproof version which is what I need.
