Any recommendations for a budget mascara that doesn't flake or smudge please?

[frugalkitty]

I'm going shopping with DD later and the options are either Superdrug or Boots. My go to is a Clinique mascara but I can't afford it at the moment. I'm currently using a No7 one but it smudges through the day and as I have dark circles already, this makes that problem worse.

Can anyone suggest a high street mascara that will stay put, not irritate and not smudge/flake under the eyes please?

I like the Maybelline one that comes in the bright pink tube.

No7 tubing mascara in the gold tube. It won't move until you take it off with warm water.

Second Maybelline! I use the lash sensational in waterproof. I even wore it for my wedding day. 14 hours of no smudging! I can’t go back now. It’s £5 on Amazon currently.

Many years ago I was recommended the Boots No 7 Stay Perfect mascara (the tubing one) on here and it does indeed stay perfect.

Collection lash surge. It's a Lancôme dupe. I buy the waterproof version. It's an excellent mascara for under a fiver.

Boots No 7 Stay Perfect. It's the best mascara I've ever used.

Wilko mascara
It’s a black tube with green writing
It’s the best I’ve ever used and about £3

Boots Natural Collection one in the white tube, I'm using that at the moment.

Oh brilliant, lots to try, thank you all for taking time to reply! I'll see what I can find and might try a couple (in the name of research). Thanks again all

Maybelline Falsies is fabulous.

Yep Wilco Essence mascara (Think it is called Pricess or something) very good.

I think they've changed the packaging now so I keep buying the wrong one, but yes, the No 7 waterproof one is excellent and half the price of Clarins.

I bought the No 7 Stay Perfect after seeing it recommended lots in here. No different to any other mascara! Every time I go to look in a mirror I end up having to wipe away bits of it

Max factor masterpiece max is hg for me. You can get it cheap on Amazon

Maybelline great lash mascara is cheap and really good

I know you've not mentioned the store but if ever you are near one... The Primark PS Waterproof one in the blue case. It's £2.50 and I swear by it. Used to use £££ Japanese ones but pinched this from my teenage DD and its blooming brilliant.

I also really like the Wilko Lash Princess one. I’ve had a few great things from the Essence range there.
