What's your favourite mascara?

I love mascara and I want to try something new.

I like Tarte lights, camera, action, Benefit bad gal, benefit roller lash and the maybelline curl bounce. I have long lashes anyway but like a lengthening mascara and something that's not too hard to take off.

I just opened a new tarte one and it's fully dried out so I need something new.

I'd love to hear what you're favourites are so I can try a few!

I love Maybelline one too.

Squirrelchops1 · 15/05/2026 10:15

I used to adore Lancome Hypnose but had a gift of Benefit Rollerlash and prefer that

Maybelline in yellow tube

Menopants · 15/05/2026 10:19

Maybelline high rise

luckylavender · 15/05/2026 10:23

I have tried everything under the sun but always come back to Maybelline

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 15/05/2026 10:25

so I tried the max factor 2000 calorie waterproof just now and it’s no way as good as the Maybelline colossal bubble waterproof. Which is much better. I need waterproof or tubing due to ageing eyes.

Lots of Maybelline fans! I may just go back to theirs. I've currently got her Maybelline falsies surreal one(?) in the purple tube but think I prefer the curl bounce which is in the same looking tube but white.

Haven't tried some of their other ones. Years since I tried colossal.

Just remembered there's a newish benefit one called bounce I haven't tried but I'm reluctant to pay full price when it's not likely to be better than the maybelline

The new no7 one in the gold tube is good.

CheeseWisely · 15/05/2026 20:49

A bit of a wild card but I’ve always found Soap & Glory mascara good. Doesn’t seem to dry out as fast as some others. I have the benefit one in the silver tube at the moment and like that one too.

Bemorebeth · 15/05/2026 21:00

Kosas - new find and very good. Iconic was nice but smudged a bit. Like all the benefit ones.

Livpool · 15/05/2026 21:28

I like the green Milani tubing one

Ilovecheeseyah · 15/05/2026 21:33

Lancôme Idole in dark brown
i think technique is as important as brand

OriginalPedant · 15/05/2026 21:34

I only like tubing mascara. My favourite is Lash Slick by Glossier.

Beaverbridge · 15/05/2026 21:36

Maybelline high rise. I have it in Green and Burgundy.

Iris2024 · 15/05/2026 21:37

Maybelline sky high and their new tubing one I’m using at the moment

Tryonemoretime · 15/05/2026 21:37

Estee Lauder. The only one ive tried that doesn't flake or smudge.

youalright · 15/05/2026 21:39

Loreal extensionist the silver one

MrsMouse03 · 15/05/2026 21:40

I like prime mascara for older ladies as it makes lashes look fab and doesn’t smudge when I get too hot!

missspent · 15/05/2026 21:54

Clinique Lash Power. The only mascara not to flake. You have to take it off with warm water

IamChipmunk · 15/05/2026 22:00

Another vote for Maybelline! Sky High waterproof and also just tried the new Sky Tubes which was very good.
Also Urban Decay Perversion waterproof

OotontheRandan · 15/05/2026 22:06

Sweed lash lift mascara is excellent. I do need to make sure the brush isn't heavily loaded as it can tend towards clumpy loop if it is. But when the brush is clean, it really does lift and separate my lashes. Also doesn't give me panda eyes.

1AnotherOne · 15/05/2026 22:08

U.K. lash. Stays on all day and no flaking. I usually get it in a combo deal with the lash serum

Fairygoblin · 15/05/2026 22:13

Lash sensational sky high here as well!
But also Maybelline Colossal Big Shot too

828Pax · 15/05/2026 22:14

I always come back to Clinique high impact. Although I have just tried their tubing one and so far so good
