Best mascara?

I've been wearing Max Factor, but bought the new no 7 which is crap- took it back.
What does everyone use- I have quite long very dark lashes, and like waterproof.

I like clinique!

randomeuro · 23/10/2009 19:41

Tough one, YSL Mascara Volume Effect Faux Cils or Dior Show. Lancome are always very good too

kittya · 23/10/2009 19:46

Max Factor Masterpiece Max. I know you have been using max factor but, I have tried them all and this is by far the best and most reasonable. The Chanel one I gave it away, it made my lashes look thicker but stumpy.

EyeOfFrogSpawnChorus · 23/10/2009 19:50

Agree with randomeuro: YSL faux cils is great. L'Oreal Voluminous is a v good budget-friendly option.

Avon supershock in black, best everrrrrr

twinklylights · 23/10/2009 20:04

Rimmel magnif'eyes is fab-no eyelash curler needed and is really lengthening too.

BonjourIvresse · 23/10/2009 20:57

I like maybelline great lash.

hatesponge · 23/10/2009 21:09

max factor false lash effect is really good.

Christian Dior (the one with Cashmere) is great as well.

ChickandDuck · 23/10/2009 21:14

Estee Lauder Magnascopic is amaaaazing
Have tried others, nothing compares

WannaTry · 23/10/2009 21:15

Maybellene (sp?) XXL fantastic!

Have never looked back!

max factor aqualash,no runs,stays on even when scuba diving

facebookaddict · 23/10/2009 21:24

Alypaly !!!! Soooo true. But I am grieving as I went to buy it last week and they don't make it anymore so Boots didn't have any.

Gutted as I have worn it for over 10 years nonstop (I never take it off just apply ontop) and am always being complimented on my eyelashes.

It's the only make up I wear and I am bereft at the thought of being without it......

chattermouse · 23/10/2009 21:26

max factor 2000 calorie. Super good.

facebookaddict · 23/10/2009 21:34

Chattermouse This is the one I am using but am still appalled at the black smearing I get as I've used waterproof for 10 years....

chattermouse · 23/10/2009 21:41

That's odd. I don't get any smearing with it at all and i wear tonnes. In fact it is one of the very few that do not smear a bit on me. I used to find that estee lauder ones did not smear either - but, they are tres pricey. max Factor is value for money.

facebookaddict · 23/10/2009 21:45

well I'm referring to situations when all non waterproof ones would smear - crying, showers, in the morning - as I got into bad habits with waterproof...never taking it off!!!

I def think it is the best out there (now that Aqua Lash has gone)

hazeyjane · 23/10/2009 21:47

Maybelline Great Lash, have tried loads of others, always come back to this. It doesn't clump, smudge, look 'fibrous', irritate my eyes and it is dirt cheap.

chattermouse · 23/10/2009 21:51

Don't max factor do any waterproof at all now then? Surely they have replaced your old one with something new?

facebookaddict · 23/10/2009 21:54

They do a waterproof one but not in the same range and I tried it but the wand is stupidly small and the mixture is really runny. Just not a good replacement.

I can't believe they withdrew it. I would happily have bought a lifetime's supply upfront.

(Okay I realise that this is a little psychotic but I am pale and blonde and this is the only make up I ever wear. It's like a piece of me!)

alypaly · 23/10/2009 21:54

facebookaddict .....OMG what am i going to wear as none of the others are truly waterproof.

facebookaddict · 23/10/2009 21:55

Alypal - I know....I'm in mourning....
