Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
My favorite drugstore one is Maybelline Define-A-Lash waterproof volume edition.
Today I tried DiorShow for the first time, paired with my Shiseido The Makeup Base (which is the best thing EVER, basically) and it was a pretty amazing combo.. will have to play with it more. Smudged a bit after 12 hours, but the plus side is it came off easily, and the smudging wasn't too severe.
Will have to spend a few more days with this to see if I think it's worth the price tag.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I use 3 different mascaras in one go, i know that is quite excessive but i love my eyelashes huuuuuge!
I start with MAC's Plush Lash which gives my eyelashes a nice curl, I don't even feel i need to curl them if i use this, it also gives a nice overall coat.
I then use L'Oreal Volume Collagene this really defines and adds body to my lashes.
Last but not least i apply Rimmel Black Extreme Volume Flash this gives a mega black coat and adds extra definition, i also only use this for my lower eyelashes it has quite a wet consistency which i like!
This always gives me a false lash effect every time, and i've had not problems with smudging although i may be a little mascara obsessed!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Covergirl's Lash Blast is my HG mascara. My natural lashes are non-existent. Short and straight... You can barely tell there's anything there. I've tried so many that i can't even keep count. But last summer i was introduced to Lash Blast by a cousin of mine n been hooked ever since. It curls, lengthens, and gives em some volume.... LOVE IT!!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I love LashBlast form Covergirl for everyday use. And it is very reasonable! I also like L'Oreal Telescopic for a more special and dramatic look.
I have tried literally everything and had really high hopes for "diorshow" in particular, but it just weighed my lashes down (for reference I have pretty long, but straight heavy lashes).

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
My favourite is good old Maybelline Great Lash. It gives me good coverage and length and is the best thing I've used so far.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I like Max Factor's mascaras. I've used many of them and not a single one has been a disappointment.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I really like Loreal's Telescopic in blackest black. I just bought it the other day based on reviews I saw on YouTube to try it out, and I have to say I really like it. I tried Voluminous in Carbon black (also Loreal) and it kinda clumps on me, I don't really like the brush. The brush from Telescopic is one of those synthetic ones (can't really explain, have to see a picture to really get it) and works great for seperating and getting every single lash. I've tried a MAC mascara before and I didn't like it, maybe it was just the one I tried though.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Without doubt it has to be YSL False Lash Effect Mascara- absolutely amazing - AND it conditions your lashes. It's not cheap though, the RRP is around £20 but I can get it online for £14.95

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I use Benefit Badgal lash and Diorshow. I've tried several MAC mascaras and none of them seem to work out very well for me, which made me sad. I can't decide if I like the Diorshow or Badgal better.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Diorshow blackout. I'm sure I've tried the plain and the blackout and didn't notice a difference. I do like fiber mascaras but I think you only need them if you have short asian lashes.
Everything else I've tried that's non fiber has always smudged on me.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Favorite MAC masacara: Plushlash
Favorite drugstore brand: Loreal Voluminous mascara in carbon black
Favorite non-Mac mascara: DiorShow
Loreal Voluminous mascara is affordable and easy to find. I probably like it better than MAC Plushlash actually. I do like DiorShow a lot, however it is really expensive (about $24.00 a tube) and the formula is a bit drier than most. The extra large wand with the DiorShow mascara does take some getting use to, but once you get the hang of it, it's awesome!!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I always end up coming back to my L'Oreal Waterproof Voluminous mascara. It'll always be a classic favorite of mine, works and beautifully voluminizes every time.

Benefit Bad Gal in Plum, it really brings out the green in my eyes. It's perfect for neutral looks!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I don't care for the MAC mascaras, at least the ones I've tried. Personally, I seem to get the best results from Clinique's High Impact mascara. Clump free and no residue/debris under the eye.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
MY HG mascara right now is plushblack, I Love it so much! more than lash blast just because than one flakes and clumps if you're not careful..
I've tried benefit bad gal, dior show, l'oreal voluminous, Physician's formula, almost all the FLIRT ones, at least every single drug store one but I swear by plushblack

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
My fav is Lise Watier 24 HRS Glam. Best mascara everrrrrr. everyone that i let try it LOVED it! and this is honestly the 1st mascara that has ever WOWed me in all aspects. it lengthens my lashes so much and is soo buildable for voume. and it separates all my lashes too. i also curl my lashes, and this one does not straighten it when i apply it (i have asian lashes, so anything too heavy will weigh it down)
before 24 hrs glam, i used CG lash blast for a while b/c full and soft just didn't do it for me anymore.
MAC mascaras just do not do it for me either. urgh. i got plushlash and it does nothing for my lashes. no length, no volume, nothing. prolash just clumped clumped clumped.
Have yet to try badgal and dior show though. but i have tried:
MUFE - smoky lash
Lancome - hypnose, amplicils, definicils
Sephora - lash plumper
L'oreal - telescopic, voluminous, double extend
Maybelline - full and soft, great lash, lash discovery, lash stylist, colossal, unstoppable, volume express
CG - exact eyelights, lash blast, volume exact, lash exact
Rimmel - lycra lash extender
NONE of those measured up to the 24 hrs glam...at least for me. and that's a lot of mascaras. some i even threw out after 2 uses. sigh

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Maybelline Lash Discovery
I've been using this since 7th grade which was like 10 years ago... lol
I've never found any mascara that works better than these.
Really holds my curls and gives both volume and length
love these

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Lancome's Hypnose is my fav but I'm using MAC's Pro Longlash at the moment, which is kind of hard to work with as it likes to clump.
