What is the ultimate mascara? Humour me and tell me which one you would choose of the millions out there.

Oh, is it good?

I used to use a Tom Ford mascara which was epic, but began to feel the cost was unreasonable. Since then nothing has lived up to it. This year my eyelashes have become extremely sparse through illness, and I’ve hardly bothered, but miss the drama mascara adds to a face. I love Gucci lipsticks so may give theirs a try.

(Sampled the new Charlotte Tilbury recently - made me look like a mad axe murderer in a horror film …)

I think it’s the best. It was recommended to me by a make up artist and despite the insane price, I think it’s worth it.

I think mascara is tricky, because different brushes and lashes mean different mascaras work on different people. But if you can try it, I think you should because I honestly have never used anything better.

Thanks! In truth the price isn’t terrifying. I buy very little makeup and am generally disappointed if I follow recommendations for cheaper products.

These threads always tempt me to try something else but Chanel waterproof doesn't irritate my eyes or rub off on my oily lids so I stick with it. It's also easy to remove.

I wear brown so it narrows down the choices quite a bit anyway.

Clinique Lashpower for me. I usually buy a pack of 3 at the the airport duty free. It doesn't smudge under my eyes ever. It's a 'tube' type. Guess there are other similar ones around but I have used this for years.

Lancôme hypnose (the original version for me). Nothing comes close. Also, I ALWAYS use eyelash curlers before applying mascara and it makes a huge difference. Do others do this? it makes my lashes look 100 times better!

@CharityButtonhole I hear this often but don't know which one is the original? TIA ☺️

Just the one that doesn’t have ‘l’extreme’ or ‘doll eyes’ etc after Hypnose. It just says Hypnose.

Lancôme definicils for me.

ByQuaintAzureWasp · 05/01/2025 16:33

Tried 2 lancombe ... never again!
