Mascara for hooded eyes

Can anyone recommend a mascara that won't transfer onto my hooded upper eyelids? I've given up wearing mascara because of this but would love to be able to start again! Thanks

I have hooded eyes and also wear contact lenses, and you need a tubing mascara - I like Clinique Lash Power.

I’ve tried so many mascaras of all price ranges and on the recommendation of a colleague I brought the boots natural collection one for about £2.50 and it’s fab. No transfer at all.
I have the definition one. They all look the same but come in lengthening, waterproof, volume etc

As much as I love the new benefit magnetic one it transfers top ans bottom of my lashes.
The only other one that doesn’t transfer is the Rodial volumising one.

Clinique Lash Power

The best mascara I've used is Estée Lauder double wear. It's more pricey than some but the only one that remotely stays on. I also used to have hooded eyes it recently had surgery!

That meant to say *but recently had surgery

I like the Clinique already mentioned, also find Hourglass Caution amazing, stays put all day

MrsAlwaysRight · 27/07/2021 22:04

Thanks very much for the suggestions - looking forward to being able to wear mascara again!

Estée Lauder Doublewear. It’s the best tubing one I’ve found. I also have hooded eyes.

If you're a blonde, having them dyed helps.

Maybelline collosal,doesn't shift

no more panda eyes by essence at wilko has great staying power and super cheap. If you put some translucent powder on your eyelids it helps stop it transferring

The wilko one is indeed very good but I found it stung so maybe not if you have sensitive eyes. Fantastic mascara though.
