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!

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

I’ve been looking at these, are they any good, colour wise?
I use YSL Lash Clash.

Elf Lash n roll or second place elf lash extender

Ilovemyshed · 15/05/2026 22:24

Essence false lashes

Hourglass unlocked is great, gives a very natural lift, and it's tubing so very easy to wash off.

Lancome Hypnose. I've tried others over the years but that's the best. They do a good dark brown which I tend to use for everyday.

Ineedanewsofa · 15/05/2026 22:46

Maybelline Sky High but if money was no issue, the Loubutin one

Purplecatshopaholic · 15/05/2026 22:51

Charlotte Tilbury Push Up Lashes. Once you work out how to use the wand (theres a twisting technique to get the best effect), it’s flippin awesome. Currently liking Lisa Eldridge kitten lash too.

I really like technic megalash waterproof one in the metallic turquoise tube. Very very waterproof . I wear it even in the gym and it doesn’t even really come off in the sauna. It’s quite drying though but it’s the only one I trust to be truly waterproof. And .. £4!

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

I love this one too! Other than that L’Oréal telescopic or Soap and Glory (going to try a maybelline one after this thread though!!)

iamnotalemon · 16/05/2026 05:31

I really like No 7 tubing mascara. It stays on and doesn’t smudge but also comes off with just water. It’s impressive. The sorcery 🤣

StudyinBlue · 16/05/2026 05:37

Came on to say Benefit Bad Gal but see you’ve already tried it. Tried loads including all the Maybelline ones and always come back to Bad Gal.

Empress13 · 16/05/2026 05:55

I like Maybelline sky high but am going to try the new Avon lash genius multitask now sold in Superdrug which is supposed to be good

thephoebejeebies · 16/05/2026 06:04

I really recommend bourjois volume reveal. Length and volume, no clumps, comes off with face wash and the tube never seems to dry out

Chocolattcoffeecup · 16/05/2026 07:30

@Squirrelchops1 Roller lash is very good!

I'd forgotten about it but I remember using the soap & glory ones back in the day @CheeseWisely and they were good

I agree about technique @Ilovecheeseyah

@1AnotherOne Have you tried the uk lash serum? I actually just ordered some last night but haven't tried the mascara... I may give it a go as I'm guessing it may have some of the grow to serum stuff in it?! Will check!

@Purplecatshopaholic I haven't tried either of those but I'm tempter

@StudyinBlue It is really good. I just got through a tube ans that's when I went onto the tarte and it was dry

Thanks everyone!

I’ve got the new urban decay tubing mascara in brown which is nice, in black I’m trying benefit bad gal bang but not a huge fan, I prefer roller lash

my actual favourite is benefit lash primer though, really light and almost like gloss rather than mascara

Yes the serum is fab

L'oreal extensionist. L'oreal telescopic. I have short thin lashes for reference.

Matildahoney · 16/05/2026 08:35

I have long lashes and use a combination of Elf & Maybelline sky high tubing mascaras.

Mumofyellows · 16/05/2026 08:48

The number 7 one in a green and white tube has been a long term favourite of mine now.

Kitt1 · 16/05/2026 08:52

Maybelline SkyHigh in purple is my daily mascara and I’m an oldie. I like my daytime look to be more subtle but still have good lashes.
