LVL alternative?

I went to have an LVL treatment for the first time and couldn't do it, I came over all claustrophobic and panicky and we had to give up. Unlike me, not sure why. I was so disappointed.
Anyway, I'm not great with mascara as they all seem to end up down my cheeks! Which I why I wanted to try LVL....
What would your recommendation be to achieve the same sort of results... and/or your best most excellently waterproof mascara ?
Thank you.

I understand what you mean - LVL is daunting, you can't see, it takes ages & someone is poking at your eyes with chemicals. I've had it twice and won't bother again. It's not great for your lashes really so it's probably a good thing you've ruled it out.

The No1 best mascara I have used over & over again, which doesn't smudge and adds dramatic length and lift is YSL Faux Cils.

If you want something more natural looking then Kevin Aucoin volume mascara is a tubing mascara and doesn't smudge either.

Thank you?! I'll experiment with these.

Sorry the question mark should not have been there!

In terms of the best mascara ever I'd say my absolute favourite is Estée Lauder double wear. It's a tubing one so doesn't budge. A close 2nd for me is the beauty pie tubing one - if you're already a member it's only a tenner (but not really an option if you're not a member).

However, I posted last week about alternatives to lash extensions as I was ruining my own lashes. Yesterday for the first time I tried amor lashes. If they come off without any damage they will be game changing for me!! Absolutely love them - they genuinely look better and more natural than extensions. Yet to see how well they last and how they come off.....
