Just that really! I'm bored of looking like a panda. Been using tubing mascaras the last couple of years but fi d if the little tube bits get into your eyes it's a bloody nightmare. There must be another way!! Thank you

Ive tried so many mascaras over the years i cant even count and my absolute favourite is 2faced better than sex. Its got a chunky wand like the Dior Extase that i loved and they discontinued...
Lovely thickness and shape and doesn't mudge

Gah. I came on here because as much as I love too faced better than sex (makes my lashes lovely and long) I end up with a smudge on my cheeks half the bloody time. Even with The waterproof version.

Otherwise I love that stuff

2faced better than sex is the best mascara ever - and I've tried so many!

It really smudges on me though.

I now just wear it on my top lashes and wear waterproof on my bottom lashes

Definitely Beauty Pie. They do one which comes along with a bottle of remover and it is absolutely amazing - doesn't shift.

Also max factor 2000. Mabelline ends up smudging on me as does soap and glory,

Victoria Beckham’s mascara is a tubing one. Took me a few days to get used to it as the wand is thin but is so lengthening! Used to use Blinc but that would dry up after a couple
of weeks use. I’m on month 8 of my VB one and it’s still preforming well!

Lancôme Hypnose. Not cheap but I love it and have been repurchasing for years and I have no such loyalty to any other product.
NB: get the original, not 'doll eyes' or 'drama' or anything else.

Rosiepeta · 02/09/2022 23:34

I've tried every mascara going, almost all smudge ..so I think it's because of my concealor and maybe need to change that instead?

Coffeetable123 · 02/09/2022 23:36

I use Lancôme and don’t have this problem

GlamGiraffe · 03/09/2022 01:47

The gold primark one was shockingly good.
Bought it when I was in there and had for gotten My make up for latter.its about 3 99 I think and I've been to buy more since the first no make up emergency day!

grrsoangry · 03/09/2022 01:48

I love the maybelline one that comes in a white packet (looks a bit like a tampon) makes my lashes look long and doesn't smudge. The huda beauty one smudges in seconds on me

Benefit Roller Lash curling mascara is great. I also rate They are Real mascara from Benefit as well.

I agree with this.

I only ever wear waterproof mascara as it holds the curl I put in to my lashes. I've just started using the Beauty Pie one and think it's great, I've actually just bought a second one. If you're after High Street brands I think NYX and Maybelline are both good, Lancôme for evenings. I also bought one that was recommended on here from Amazon - it's very good too, a more natural look though.

Isehan Heroine Make Long & Curl... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00INJ7TWW?ref=ppxpoppmobappshare

Waterproof rimmel in a blue tube. Cheap and cheerful. Tried loads but always come back to it.

BuffaloCauliflower · 03/09/2022 07:34

There’s a Japanese brand called Isehan, their Heroine Make mascara literally does not budge. You need to buy a remover to go with it to get it off. I’ve swam in it and it stays on.

A cheap Essence one (Wilko's stocks) called No More Panda Eyes. It's fantastic

Yes. Its really good. Im really prone to pamda eyes with a lot of mascaras, but this one stays put.
Also rimmel waterproof is good.

Grand Entrance Mascara by Elizabeth Arden. Great if your lashes need help to curl.

Faciadipasta · 03/09/2022 11:18

Thank you everyone. I'll check some of these out. Would a mascara primer help as well do you think?
