I'm looking for a "dry" mascara

If that makes any sense? My Grande Lash trial is starting to show some results (yay!) but now my standby IT Hello Lashes seems very wet, if that makes any sense. It's making my lashes glop together and the little ball on the wand doesn't do anything to separate them.

 

Thanks!!

Urban Decay Perversion Mascara might be worth trying. At Macy's they offer a Sample or Travel Size for around 11.00.

@PilatesLover  Give Clinique Glossy a try.  My usual mascara is Origins and I needed a new one badly.  Of course, Macys did not have it in brown so I purchased the Clinique Glossy.  It does tend to run dryer compare to many others.  It's under $20.

I like my mascara the best when it starts to dry out a little. I don't like to use fresh mascara because I think it's too moist. The older, but not too old, the better because the mascara seems to apply better, make my lashes fuller and the second coat may not be needed.

I have a small brush that also has a small comb on the other side of it.  

 

It's made for brushing eyebrows and separating eyelashes.  When my eyelashes stick together I put something on my eye (it's closed and brush the eyelashes.  They separate and the mascara (I only use Maybelline waterproof) doesn't come off.

Re: I'm looking for a "dry" mascara

@PilatesLover, I think I know what you mean. Some mascaras I never have a problem with (they're not wet). I'll tell you one not to get, Maybelline The Falsies Pushup Drama. No matter how careful I am, when I do my lower lashes I end up with black specks under my eyes and also end up with black specs on my browbone from my upper lashes. I think I got this mascara in my Target Beauty Box or Walmart one, I woundn't buy it.

@PilatesLover I don't know of a dry mascara but before I throw away a mascara if it has a good brush, I wash the old brush and keep it to use if needed to separate lashes when using a new mascara.

Drier formula mascaras are a thing.

 

Benefit They're Real is one. Great mascara but tough to remove. It stays put that well. I usually use their remover.

 

A try me size is available for around $10

I know exactly what you mean.  Bareminerals Love every lash is a "dry" mascara.  The wand is one of those real skinny types.  Q has it in a duo.  HTH  edited to say I also agree with Silleemee.

No thought is worth thinking.....
