Mascara Recommendations

Kcubed — Sat, 18 Jul 2015 23:54:36 GMT

Do any of you have a mascara that you love? I would love to find one that does not flake off and does not smear. I also would love to use one that lasts for more than an hour or two. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I really like Tarte's lights, camera, lashes and use that most often. Mally in the white tube is also good. Surprisingly, Wet N Wild max volume plus is also pretty good! I got it yesterday in a Target beauty box and tried it today. It didn't clump, gave me volume and didn't flake or smudge. it was hot and humid here today and I was outside this morning and my face was sweaty. My mascara did not smudge at all. I didn't have high expectations, but it definitely met my mascara qualifications! I have no idea if it's difficult to remove since I haven't washed my face yet.

I've tried so many...drug store and high end. I'm not sure if you want your lashes long and separated or volume. I prefer mine long, separated and black and my holy grail for over 10 years is Lancôme Definicils. I also use the Lancôme Booster Primer sometimes when I want them a little more dramatic.

Another vote from me for Tarte's Lights Camera Lashes (Splashes for the waterproof version). I ventured to try Bobbi Brown's and IT's but returned to Tarte after a few months.

The best mascara I have used is MAC. I've always had problems with racoon eyes & flaking. Not with MAC's mascara. Price point is pretty good too.

I was literally about to pose the same question! I, too, am looking for a mascara that really plumps up my lashes without giving me that raccoon look by lunchtime. I'm an IT junkie, but the mascara gets such low ratings. I was just reading about the Tarte mascara, but the reviews are all over the place on that one, too. Are there any that get consistent 4 & 5 star ratings?

I have 3 favorites. Mac In Extreme Dimension, Jordan Best Lash Extreme & Milani Funway Lashes. I also, like Mac False Lashes. I always use Shiseido Nourishing Mascara Base first & then use 1 or more of these mascaras over it.

Blinc is the only mascara for me. It wears like iron and doesn't bother my eyes.

Many mascaras will flake or smear because an eyelash primer was not applied first. I found once I did that, my mascara didn't flake or smear.

I use Lancome CILS Booster XL as the primer and I really like the Definicils mascara Lancome makes and my 2nd/3rd choices are the Hypnose Drama or Doll Lashes mascara also made by Lancome.

Another vote for Lancome Defincils. Overall best mascara on the market IMO.

I've experimented with a lot of different mascaras and I'm finding the expensive ones aren't that much better than the cheap ones, to make them worth the extra expense. I keep returning to Jordana Best Lash Extreme (black tube w/purple lettering - available at Walgreens). I also like Physician's Formula Lash Extensions kit.

I like Clinique mascaras and CoverGirl Clump Crusher. I have to use waterproof mascara to avoid raccoon eyes because the heat and humidity here make everything else super smudgey.

Maybelline Full 'N Soft washable formula is the only one I'll use.

I agree with JustJazz that a primer is imperative. I like a primer/lash builder and love Prescriptives then I apply my favorite mascara over it and it never, ever flakes or ends up dark under my eyes. My current fav mascara is Eyeko London Black Magic. It is dark and rich and yet doesn't flake or wear off.

Ladies who have trouble with flaking and smearing - try a clear lash top coat like Clarins Double Fixe Mascara or Anastasia's Lash Genius. Then you can wear whichever mascara you like!

I could run off a long list of mascaras which I truly believe are very good. However, if someone tells me they are fed up with being disappointed with the ones they have purchased and are looking for one which doesn't flake, wears well, and is my favorite, I too would say don't stop until you reach a Lancome counter to buy Definicils.

No matter what other mascaras I may try (and like) I always keep a tube of Definicils in my makeup case. It is my all around favorite mascara. I'd also add that Laura Geller's Black Mascara Primer is a nice add-on. Because it's black it can be worn alone for it's conditioning properties, but as a primer it raise a mediocre mascara up to good.
