Mascara that stays on your lashes not all over your face - does such a thing exist?

I feel as if I've tried everyone going. Maybelline Snapscara worked for a while but now just doesn't.

please help - obviously cheaper the better but willing to shell out if it will actually work.

I'd go for tubing mascara, much less likely to run

SparrowFeet · 28/12/2023 18:53

No7 tubing mascara. You can wear it over the top of one that has the effect you like as it is a bit meh apart from not budging.

DoYouAgree · 28/12/2023 18:54

I've got hooded eyes and oily skin the worst combination and the only one that stays put it is the Estée Lauder double wear zero smudge lengthening mascara

Clinique Lash Power- tubing mascara

Gustavo1 · 28/12/2023 19:01

Mac extended play works well. I always get smudges but this stays all day and takes some effort to remove

For a cheapie - ELF

The purple boots number 6 one in the waterproof edition is good

CavalierApproach · 28/12/2023 19:04

Clinique Lash Power 👍

Bodyshop sports one. It doesn't run. You can sleep with it on and it doesn't shift.

I've got hooded eyes, the most oily skin in the entire world AND long lashes and I swear by Maybelline Volume Lashes.. been using it for years with no smudging whatsoever... pic attached of my eyeball, I've been at work all day, and not a sausage

Wow - thanks all. Interesting that almost everyone has suggested a different one, so they are obviously out there!

Thirded - Clinique lash power. Doesn’t budge

Yep. Same here and same here. I've tried others but always go back to this one.

The ELF lash and roll

HunterHearstHelmsley · 28/12/2023 20:20

I bought a super cheap mascara that I'd heard was smudgeproof ages ago. It doesn’t go on well alone but I use my usual mascara and put that on top like a setting mascara. It's the only thing that has worked for me.

I'm currently using a Lancome one underneath. Previously used Max Factor false Lash, 2000 calorie and max, various Clinique, MAC, Two Faced etc.

L’Oréal Lash Paradise (waterproof)

I bought Clinique lash power after a similar tread last year and have gone from panda eyes to a semblance of being together.

Spink86 · 28/12/2023 20:26

I fihnd tubing still ended up coming off.. I now swear by eyeko sport! I got a sample before a holiday in Turkey (40 degree heat, swimming pool etc) and it DID. NOT. SHIFT. Even with my balm cleaner! So much so I have ended up having to buy eye makeup remover especially for it!

Clarabellawilliamson · 28/12/2023 20:34

I disagree about the Clinique- it smudged for me. I like eyeko, never get panda eyes. Even the non waterproof ones.

sickofunhelpfulcomments · 28/12/2023 20:50

How about keep em dry.
I have similar issues and apply this over my mascara

Dynamoat · 28/12/2023 20:52

Another one for Clinique lash power

MustDust · 28/12/2023 22:48

I swear by No7 Stay Perfect long-wear tubing mascara, I use the plastic brush one. It took me a few goes to get used to applying it to get the look I wanted but now I've nailed it I'll never look at regular mascaras again, I'd tried all the waterproofs from cheap to expensive and still looked like a panda.
