I can’t wear any of the maybelline range unfortunately but I want something that builds volume/length, not waterproof, preferably budget friendly with a slim wand.

Ive tried benefit roller lash and it’s nice but not worth the hefty price tag imo.

any advice pls?

You need max factor masterpiece max in black. I never use anything else. You can build it up, it doesn’t clump and never smudges

Rimmel

Same. I try others and always come back to this

Currently loving L’Oréal Panorama. Other fave is Charlotte Tilbury Push up Lashes but it’s more pricy.

Thanks so much for sharing this website. I never thought to look to see if you can buy direct but I use one of their foundations and it’s fantastic but boots and Tesco no longer sell it it only certain stores and it’s twice the price on Amazon. This is a really good makeup brand for me and soooo cheap. I’ve tried double wear, max factor, all of the expensive ones and this goes on so much nicer. I’m going to try the mascara too.

I love Benefit Bad Girl Bang.

My lashes are fairly thick so I need a mascara to add definition and give a lengthening rather than thickening effect. A makeup artist recommended L'Oreal Telescopic to me - slim wand, doesn't clump or smudge, budget-friendly too.

Collection 2000 lash surge mascara

It’s really cheap, it has a thin wand and it doesn’t budge one bit. I can have a heavy night, leave my makeup on to sleep and I wake up without panda eyes.

I've tried expensive mascaras like Victoria Beckham and Lancome, but this is my most recent purchase and is fab! The wand is slim but with lots of "tentacles" on it so it does a great job of getting fine sparse lashes coated and lifted.

No 7 Define and Enhance is my go to. Very gentle on the eyes, never smudges but removes easily at the end of the day and is cruelty free which is important to me.

Estée Lauder

No 7 stay perfect long wear tubing mascara

Absolute game changer for me. Doesn’t budge, doesn’t smudge. The spiders in the sink effect takes a bit of getting used to.
