Mascara with small brush

Can anyone recommend a waterproof mascara that has a small brush, preferably not too expensive?

I used to love Maybelline Snapscara but it's discontinued (at least where I live). I've tried some others but the brushes all seem so big and I have stumpy eyelashes!

I’m currently using Lancôme Lash Idole Flutter Extension

which has the narrowest brush I can ever remember encountering. It was only meant to be a stopgap until I could get hold of something fancier, but I’m getting used to it. Took a while for the brush to become loaded with mascara so the first few times it didn’t seem to be doing much. But now it is covering and lengthening my sparse and short lashes. (Purely by coincidence it was reduced at JL when I bought mine but I think that’s over now.)

I didn’t notice whether it’s waterproof or not. It definitely doesn’t run. More importantly it isn’t interfering with my contact lenses at all. The price seems ok though I realise it isn’t a budget price for mascara.

Oh that actually looks perfect, apart from the price! I'll have a think, thanks.

You can get Snapscara on Amazon!
