i love zoom lash too. There aren't a lot of us that like it though- unsure why really. Diorshow i heard is really good. i ordered that in, so i'm getting mine in a couple of days! i will tell you how that goes. I've also heard that Lancome hypnose is quite good too...

Please let me know how DiorShow is! My problem is that I have TINY lashes, possibly the tiniest ever...seriously they are microscopic. The Zoom Lash is too clumpy for me...I think.

Benefit BadGal is great too. I know a lot of people don't, but I also love Maybelline Great Lash. Stila Major Lash is awesome too.

hey i have the same problem as u. my lashes are super tiny. i tried diorshow but i didn't think it was that great. i thought it was going to be the best thing ever since it was $24 but it was just ok to me. i gave it away. so i haven't found a good mascara for tiny lashes yet. maybe i will try stila. i love their brushes.

i have tiny midgit lashes- like hardly anything there lashes! - i have asian eyes!! so yea, i'll definitely let you know how it goes. if you want lenght, try zoom lash maybe?? i have it, and it lenghtens quite well. only problem with it is that it clumps so be ready with your lash comb  . Will report back to you about diorshow later...

I'm currently using the L'extreme by Lancome, but those darn bristles keep poking my eyelid. So far my top 2 mascaras for my "barely there" lashes are YSL Effet Faux Cils (or something to that name....) and the Kevyn Aucoin mascara... in that order!!!

The Max Factor Lash Perfection mascara is pretty awesome. It builds up without clumping, doesn't flake, and lasts. I can't wait until it's part of the permanent collection.

Sunwater, I did a review of the Lash Perfection because I picked up a tube last weekend and that different brush it has worked so well. I'm someone that always has had to separate lashes after putting on mascara, but with that brush it already does it for you. I was really impressed with it too!
But my fave has to be Lancome Definicils. I saw it was named in Allure as a favorite mascara, even with all the new ones they've brought out, and I had to agree because I just love it, too! Of course, I haven't tried some of the ones mentioned in here! Well, Zoomlash.....which my problem has been that it globs on too thick. I tried it the other day tho, because I'm trying to use it instead of wasting money on it, and it seemed to do better, maybe because it's one that does better after you've had it a while. I don't know. It was too much on the brush or something, then would leave a couple little blobs I'd have to try to pick off. Not easy for me to use. I'm glad people out there love it, tho. The MAC Mascara X is also awsome as far as building with no globs.
I have a tube of Milani Lotta Lash that I got to try, but haven't opened it yet because I have a few tubes open that I'm using of other things right now.

I love love love the L'Extreme mascara by Lancome. It's actually kind of creepy how long it makes my lashes. I do have to make sure to curl my lashes before using it, otherwise my lashes get so long they poke my glasses if they aren't curled up!

I only recently started using the new YSL volume curl one. It's pretty good in terms of lengthening, but I find it clumps if I try to build it up and flakes over my cheeks during the day. Curl holds all day though.
Might try Diorshow or and use a combination of both

Max Factor 2000 Calorie!!!! I really like DiorShow but I think you need to have semi long lashes to get the right effect. MAC Fibre Rich is nice if you want a bit of volume with length.
In my Gallery I have several pics of me using DiorShow and also Max Factor 2000. I do have one somewhere with me using YSL if you'd like to see that one.
If you are looking for all over drama I suggest YSL faux Cils (luxurious) mascara or Max Factor 2000 calorie.
I also really like Max factor lash perfection. Great volume and lenght. Plus the black is jet black not an off color like many mascara's.
for natural lashes Mac mascara X

I adore Clinque High Impact mascara. I'm on my billionth tube, which is amazing for me, cause i used to be a mascara ho.
Drugstore wise, I haven't found anything better than L'Oreal Voluminous.

Second Lancome Definicils in terms of product quality, and I also like Paula Dorf Lash Color in Blackberry, because I love the color.
