Mascara holy grail

I might be asking for too much, please tell me if what I want doesn't exist!
From a mascara I want volume and length, no smudging or panda eyes.
I've tried so many at various price points

Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk -look like kung fu panda within minutes of application and an odd brush that's finicky to get used to.
YSL volume effet faux cils , smudgy went claggy very quickly
Lancome Idole just not great, also smudgy
Glossier lash slick, not dramatic though, I already have quite long lashes and could barely tell any difference with this on
L'Oréal volume million lashes both smudgy and flaky
Too faced better than sex - mascara every wear, too clumpy , smudged terribly
Maybelline lash sensational too wet/smudgy

Clio Kill Lash Volumising mascara is the only buildable, volumising, waterproof mascara that I have ever used that doesn’t clump to f… I wouldn’t hesitate to say that this stuff is virtually bulletproof. I work really long shifts in healthcare settings that can be very messy (and wet) and it’s budgeproof and It stays on until you remove it with a bi-phase eye makeup remover. (Before cleansing face.) You can get this mascara on lots of sites and prices and postage times vary enormously. I can vouch for this one and it’s BOGO.

In the mean time, if you have found a mascara that ticks all the right boxes, grab one of these tools (Ali Express, Amazon, etc…) They’re dirt cheap and de-clump like nothing else. You just need to clean them with eye makeup remover.

Max factor 2000 calorie. An oldie but by far the best (and I've tried them all trust me!)

I'm going to go with an out of the box suggestion and say to you to ditch the mascaras altogether and instead get your eye lashes tinted!

Game changer!!!

It's good especially if you also get a lash life at the same time. Good for summer and beach etc. But doesn't add the volume and drama of a mascara!
