Re: recs for mascara that curls,volumise & seperate lashes?

I'm using Maybelline Volum' Express Waterproof

Maybelline's my favourite brand for mascara. I only buy the waterproofs ones because of I've watery eyes. I wear mascara everyday and bin them every 2-3 months, so I can't afford to buy the high-street brands

Re: recs for mascara that curls,volumise & seperate lashes?

this is not waterproof but maxfactor 2000 calorie curved brush. absolutely on of the best mascaras I've found! also second masterpiece max is really good.

I really didn't like define-a-lash, not the original green nor the pink one. I don't think the define-a-lash volume really gave my anymore volume than the original one.

Ahhh, so basically you're looking for the HG mascara that everyone searches for, eh?! LOL

My suggestion is loreal voluminous carbon black (they do have waterproof version now) and a great eyelash curler.

Mascara Newbie-Best mascara to help keep eyelashes curled?

Hello all,

I'm Asian and have straight eyelashes. On sunny and cloudy days, my lashes do stay curled after using an eyelash curler. However, for some reason on drizzling or rainy days, they fall right back down. I currently don't own any mascara, so I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend one that would keep my lashes curled all day. I'm not concerned with all the volumize and lengthening functions, but I do need it to not smudge or clump. Also, is a waterproof mascara my only choice? or is there a non-waterproof one out there that can give me what I want?

Thank you very much in advance for whatever recs you can come up with.

Re: Mascara Newbie-Best mascara to help keep eyelashes curled?

I highly recommend a Shu Uemura eyelash curler. It's considered by most the best in the business, and you'll get a good curl. Use that with some Lancome Courbe Virtuose Divine Lasting Curves Mascara, and you'll be good to go!

http://specktra.net/f188/waterproof-...e-brush-93154/ that thread might be helpful to you.

since you only need a curling mascara for drizzly/rainy days, i'd say waterproof mascara is your best bet just so you don't get any drops of mascara running down your face from the rain.

i've heard really great things about estee lauder's new turbolash mascara, but i'm not sure if it comes in a waterproof formula.

Re: Mascara Newbie-Best mascara to help keep eyelashes curled?

I never liked curlers (they made my lashes look freakish instead of pretty) so I use a base (the Lancome Cils XL) which makes my lashes look fake and gives a boost to the effect of any mascara I use. I would check out the Covergirl mascaras if you don't want to spend the money for high end mascaras, specifically lash bast.

I second the Shu with Lancome Virtuosse.
I have pretty straight eyelashes too but this combo always work for me.

Mascara Recommendations - POST ALL HERE

I am preparing for my next mascara purchase, I have never tried a MAC mascara and I am interested. I have Diorshow, not overly impressed, a bit flaky for my liking.
I am not looking for the natural look, I want long, falsie looking lashes. Perhaps I am asking for too much.

Any recommendations?

Re: Best Mascara? MAC and others.

Estee Lauder Sumptuous. I bought it last Summer, used it once and forgot about it as I was so taken by Chanel Inimitable.

Maybelline's Collosal has impressed me lately too, especially when I add aloe vera gel to my lashes beforehand.

Anyway back to EL Sumptuous. I tried it again this week and OMG I'm sticking with this until it runs out. Perhaps my lashes have grown and I've not realised, I dunno, but it makes my lashes look like falsies. I love this! IT curls my lashes and doesn't clump either which is one of my mascara pet hates.

I wish I could take a picture but my crappy camera is shit at close-ups! Get a sample of it first before splshing out on it if you're not sure.

The packaging is similar to YSL's Touche Eclat. I almost applied that to my lashes when I wasn't concentrating yesterday! LOL

Re: Best Mascara? MAC and others.

I've yet to be impressed by a high end mascara. For once, drug stores rule.


My favorites are:
Cover Girl Lash Blast
Max Factor 2000 Calorie

I know that many people love Diorshow, it may be just me. I have this terrible habit of picking at my eyelashes. I actually liked Diorshow Iconic, I find it more fluid in texture and it stays on my lashes better.
I have tried Lancome Defencils and it is just ok IMO. I find the brush a little stiff and it doesn't give me the desired effect. So far my fave is Diorshow Iconic but I wanted to try something new this time.

What about MAC Mascara X? Anyone tried that?

I like Loreal voluminous carbon black, it gets my lashes pretty thick. Then i use their lengthening one(telescopic, i think?) over it.

I'm pretty disappointed with my latest mascara purchases, I might go back to my old faithful, drug store kind: Maybelline Define-a-Lash

Re: Best Mascara? MAC and others.

I love Max Factor Masterpiece, for the false lash look. Generally, I've found that high end mascaras aren't worth the money.
