Charlotte Tilbury mascara worth it?

Is it worth the price tag? £28 seems like a lot to spend on mascara but I have the Fenty one which just smudges down my face so need something new!

Not in my experience. It smudged (to the point where a teenage child asked if I had a black eye!) was very disappointed.

I like Maybelline Sky High, or Benefit - but sample them first to see which one suits you!

I would say no in my experience. I prefer my Lancôme

Combattingthemoaners · 29/07/2024 21:45

Pillowtalk? I used to use it all the time and found it smudged. I’ve gone back to using a cheaper brand and don’t have mascara running down my face anymore.

Combattingthemoaners · 29/07/2024 21:47

Max Factor- False Lash Effect. That’s the one I’ve switched back to.

RickyGervaislovesdogs · 29/07/2024 21:47

No. I always go for waterproof L’Oréal lash paradise or Revlon 5D lash. I’ve used loads of brands, these are the only ones I get on with.

LizzieBennett73 · 29/07/2024 21:48

No, I actually sent the 1st one back as I thought it was faulty. But nope, it just liked being on your face more than your eyelashes. It went in the bin.

Maybelline sky high is the best mascara in the world ever everything else should just give up

LittleMonks11 · 29/07/2024 21:50

I bought Mabelline Sky High after reading something about it in a magazine. It's great.

ToBeOrNotToBee · 29/07/2024 21:52

Ysl lash clash. Thank me later.

TheBunyip · 29/07/2024 22:06

Really smudgy on me. I gave it to my 12 yr old emo dd and even she’s rejected it 🤷🏼‍♀️

The pillow talk push up lashes? Love it, it has a flat end to the applicator that you use as a tightliner and the mascara is excellent. Have tried hundreds of mascaras over the years and it's one of my favourites

MoonWoman69 · 29/07/2024 22:11

No it's rubbish! I was influenced into buying it years ago, when someone I held in high regard, started raving on about it. It didn't even look like I had mascara on. Very disappointing.

StiggyZardust · 29/07/2024 22:17

I didn't like it at all, very lumpy. I now have an Hourglass mascara which is lovely.

mapleriver · 29/07/2024 22:17

I love it for nights out but it does get a bit clumpy, but I'm rubbish at makeup so it's probably a skill issue. Too scared to use it as an every day look because it's very dark and thick but it's my favourite when I'm feeling glam

stronglatte · 29/07/2024 22:26

Another one for Maybelline x

catin8oots · 29/07/2024 22:30

I just bought maybelline sky high in burgundy and I love it (blonde hair, green eyes)

NewIdeasToday · 29/07/2024 22:31

Honestly this is the best mascara ever. I like the Maybelline others have suggested for everyday. But this is in a different league. Plus 15% off currently!

Agreed. Hourglass mascara is unlike any other! 5⭐️ Maybelline Sky High is the best cheaper alternative

Just came to tag this and noticed it's already been recommended!!! This is fabulous 💕

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 29/07/2024 23:37

L'Oreal Panorama is amazing!

TheDogIsInCharge · 30/07/2024 16:08

No it really isn't worth it. Fiddly to put on, lumpy and smudges all over the place - I always have black half moons on my eyelids when I wear it.

The Jones road mascara is really good and doesn't smudge.

My favourite mascara is the Revolution 5D Lash Pow which is around a tenner. I've had a few famous make up people comment on it and they are a bit taken aback when I tell them what it is that I'm wearing.
