Mascara - come over and tell me about yours. I can't find one that doesn't slip off my lashes by 10am.

Bloomin' panda eyes by mid morning.

I've tried the L'Oreal huge and enormous and massive ones. Waterproof/not waterproof. At the moment it's a Stila one. I think the one before that was Benefits. I tried the Eko tubing one yonks ago when it was new and that just flaked off.

sigh.

I think it's oil in my skin rather than watering eyes but - who knows? Maybe both. Maybe it's hopeless.

Tel me about yours. TIA

Watching with eager anticipation. Ditto eyeliner.

Mayelline Lash Sensational - waterproof version

I love the Max Factor Masterpiece one, better than all the expensive ones Ive tried.

TheLost · 08/03/2021 19:05

I can never get Benefit mascara to stay on, it’s always all over my face within a couple of hours.

I always go for Max Factor 2000 calorie mascara. I’ve been using it for nearly 20 years now and absolutely love high end make up. I can never find anything that gets even close to 2000 Calorie though.

amymel2016 · 08/03/2021 19:06

Tubing mascaras are the best for this, Kevyn Aucoin The Volume Mascara is AMAZING. I used to smudge constantly and this doesn’t budge at all.

LemonDrizzles · 08/03/2021 19:07

I use clinique

Teacaketotty · 08/03/2021 19:07

Maybelline lash sensational is the best mascara 100%! I’ve used lots from cheap to expensive and nothing compares!

BigButtons · 08/03/2021 19:07

Stay perfect number 7. A tubing mascara. Doesn’t flake or budge and I have super oily lids. Everything else slides off.

Are we related TheLost?

I always get panda eyes with Benefit too (don't really rate any of their products tbh).

I flirt with many, but always, always come back to Max Factors 2000 calorie mascara.

I use the waterproof lash paradise by L'Oréal.

cherrypiepie · 08/03/2021 19:13

MAC extended play gigablack lash. It's hurricaneproof. I'm a terrible eye rubber and they're real by benefit gave me panda eyes.

I bought it because it was billed in the media as a tubing mascara but have read conflicting reports on weather it is or not.

Still I love it for everyday use.

Cookerhood · 08/03/2021 19:13

The boots tubing one really damaged my eyelashes. I didn't realise until lockdown when I didn't wear any for 2 months & suddenly I had long luscious lashes (well, longer & more luscious than usual!). Until then I loved it.

birdantfrog · 08/03/2021 19:13

YSL faux cils in waterproof.

But I have found that actually it's the fault of concealer and foundation too close to the lower lash line will make any of them leak a bit.

justanotherneighinparadise · 08/03/2021 19:14

Dior doesn’t smudge.

IrisW · 08/03/2021 19:22

I hate Benefit’s other mascaras but Roller Lash is brilliant.

Rainbowandscarlett · 08/03/2021 19:31

Wilko do one that’s so cheap
It’s a black and green tube-I love my high end make up but that’s the only mascara that sticks around while making my stubby lashes long and thick

Lucked · 08/03/2021 20:38

I only use Eyeco Long and Tall. I love it and it doesn’t move.

2 votes for maybeline lash sensation in this small sample group :)

Keep 'em coming.

I remembered i used to use Maybeline 'Great Lash' (i had to google pink and green mascara brand as i'd never remember it was maybeline). That used to be good. I think i moved on to their Colossal one (bright yellow) then the Falsies ect. Maybe i should go back to the old faithful ...

I'm reading good things about Cover Girl Clump Crusher mascara. Fat bright green tube. Anyone here tried it?

Another vote for Boots no7 stay perfect, does not budge

Fispi · 08/03/2021 20:49

Maybelline Sky High, it's new and definately my favourite for a long time. I used Lash Sensational before that.

MuddleMoo · 08/03/2021 20:52

Clinque lash power

zenasfuck · 08/03/2021 20:53

L'Oréal telescopic is amazing

I like Clinique chubby lash, I suffer terrible with getting smudged eyes with certain mascaras but not with this one. Mind you I think I need to buy a new one as I’ve not really put any on for the best part of a year!

RoseHarper · 08/03/2021 20:59

No7 Stay Perfect - doesn't budge and comes off with just warm water so really gentle on your eyes too.
