Best Mascara Recommendations

Does anyone have a recommendation for best mascara?  I was hoping for one that extends and curls.  Either QVC or drugstore brands okay.  Thanks!  It's so hard to find a great one!

Re: Best Mascara Recommendations

You are going to get a lot of responses, because mascara is so personal I think and it is hard to find a good one that you love, but here are my top 3 favorites!!!!

1. Bobbi Brown Smoky Eye Mascara

2. Too Faced Better Than S****E***X Mascara

3. Dior Iconic Overcurl mascara

 

I love all 3 of these, for me they curl and lengthen and do not make my lashes feel crunchy at the end of the day!

My favorites are:

 

BLINC Mascara

 

IT Cosmetics Waterproof Tightline Mascara

 

These don't ever end up in my under-eye area like everything else I have ever tried.

Re: Best Mascara Recommendations

I used to be a devoted Lancome fan, however ever since I got a sample of " Make Up For Ever "

in smoky extravagant, I will use nothing else. This  really makes my eyes pop, and I don't have

much in the lash department. It really stays on till you use eye make- up remover, and I got

it at Sephora.

IT Cosmetics Waterproof Tightline Mascara on my bottom lashes and Tarte on my top - layers, i wiggled layer then another then another, let dry at least 30 seconds between coats

I've tried SO many and this is my HG, I buy them 3 at a time.

Re: Best Mascara Recommendations

My 3 favorites are

Lancome Definicils

Urban Decay Perversion

Lancome Hypnose Drama

 

The 1st two are pretty close in the way they apply and look-- they darken the lashes and if you use a curler, they do make your eyes look larger.

The 3rd one adds extra volume to the lashes so they look thicker.

Re: Best Mascara Recommendations

Laura Geller Glam Lash is superb!  But there is one draw back to hers -- it dries out quickly.  So on a scale from 1 (poor) to 10 (magnificent), it's a 10 all the way till that dreadful day it seems to dry up overnight, becoming a 2.

Re: Best Mascara Recommendations

I really like Smashbox Full Exposure mascara. Lenghtens and volumizes with no clumps or flakes. It doesnt dry out quickly either. I'm on my 3rd tube, which says alot because I never stick to a mascara. Love it.
