Recommend me a mascara

I'm sick of buying rubbish mascara. They're either smudgy or cloggy or not effective or can't get the stuff off!

Best one I ever had was Dior show I think but I don't think they make it anymore.

Benefit Bad Gal Bang, never clumps, fab volume and length, I’ve used it for years, tried others out of curiosity now and then but nothing else comes close.

MoriaRoseForever · 19/03/2024 12:59

Watching, was going to ask this as well.

I like the Benefits one with the light pink wand/lid. I think it's called Roller Lash.

Also Max Factor Volume Millions Lashes. I cannot stand cloggy clumpy mascaras.

Estee Lauder Double Wear

Another vote for Benefit Badgirl bang and rollerlash.

I had the Clarins one but it smudged every time I used it and I looked like a panda!

Elf mascara

Normally out of stock in black but brown is also really good, hasn't smudged on me yet

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 19/03/2024 13:50

Maybelline collosal, yellow tube with purple writing , there are a few in the range but that's the best .

I love Lancôme Hyponose

TheFormidableMrsC · 19/03/2024 13:53

Collection Lash Surge. I use the waterproof one. It's a Lancôme Hypnose dupe. Excellent mascara for about a fiver.

mylifeisprettygood · 19/03/2024 14:20

I've used lots of mascaras over the years but the best I've found is the Mac macstack mascara. It's so fab I'm on my third and I've never done that before.

AuntieSoap · 19/03/2024 14:23

I find that Benefit mascara always smudges. I like Lancôme Hypnose the best

ASighMadeOfStone · 19/03/2024 14:23

Dior Pump and Volume.

Holy grail and I'm going back to it once I've finished the frankly useless Lancome Hypnose gift set I got at Christmas.

Other decent ones nearly up there with P&V are: Lancome Mr. Big, Maybelline Sky High and Essence in the green and black tube.

Useless ones have included: Clinique Lash Power, Benefit Roller Lash, L'Oreal Telescopic.

Butterflyball · 19/03/2024 14:26

Just had a new one as was recommended by a friend. It's revolution and I think it's called life proof. It's honestly one of the best I've had, great length and thickness but most importantly doesn't smudge (went to a funeral and no black all down my face!)

AnaMaeve · 19/03/2024 14:38

Another vote for Lancome Hypnose. I have a sample size as a free gift with two purchases.
I'm waiting for Lancome’s regular offers to buy it. ( a recent offer was 30% off when purchasing two products). I'm loving their foundation (care and glow) too.

idontlikealdi · 19/03/2024 14:40

Benefit Roller Lash or Maybelline Mile High

Cotswoldmama · 19/03/2024 14:53

Benefit fan fest is my fave but quite expensive, the cheap I like is feature length by Barry M

NorthernSpirit · 19/03/2024 15:11

Maybelline Sky High - it’s a tubing mascara so you won’t end up with clumping or panda eyes.

Love Roller Lash but sad it no longer comes in brown…

Mumteedum · 06/04/2024 12:32

I plumped for Benefit Badgirl bang and I'm pleased with it. Not as good as Diorshow but what I was looking for. Thanks 🙏🏻

I like the Lancôme primer with one of their mascaras for a full on makeup but for a quick daytime look I decided to try a tubing one.

Currently Kevin Aucoin, which is ok but quite a natural look. Not sure if I will repurchase as did expect better for the price.

The Trish McEvoy tubing one has had great reviews on here so will probably try that next when I run out.

Have never found any of the Benefit ones good at all, didn’t even finish the tube, yet again they get great reviews.

Really does seem to be trial and error.

luckylavender · 06/04/2024 14:51

I've tried so many mascaras and it's either Benefit or Maybelline for me
