The best mascaras...

[Jennifer]

i swear by maybelline's sky high curves (waterproof). it doesn't flake by the end of the day, doesn't come off if i splash water on my face and rub, etc. i've tried TONS. i also have thin, short lashes, so it's hard to find something that works well.

Diorshow is my fav :icon_love

I've only tried drugstore brands, but I have two favorites depending on what look I'm going for:

Maybelline Full n Soft Waterproof -- natural looking lashes, but still gives some volume and color to my blonde lashes; not clumpy at all

Maybelline Lash Expansion -- for when I want longer lashes; not quite as clump-free as Full n Soft but still not near as clumpy as some others!

(I also always curl my lashes first, neither of these mascaras will curl your lashes themselves!)

Ones to avoid:

Almay One Coat Lengthening Waterproof Mascara -- this flaked off my lashes terribly; even worse than the non-waterproof version of this mascara!

L'Oreal Lash Out -- did a great job of lengthening my lashes but it actually straightened my lashes!

I also didn't like Maybelline Great Lash, but that's only because it took too long to dry, and my eyes are so deep-set that as soon as I blinked after I put on the mascara, I had mascara all over my face!

I like DiorShow right now. I like mascaras that make my lashes fuller and longer, cuz mine are pretty skimpy. I also like Chanel's DramaLash or DramaCils(I never get the name right) YSL is nice for a more natural look on me, but it just doesn't do enough of what I like. For DS brands, Loreal Voluminous is the only one I like.

i want to try diorshow, but i keep forgetting. everytime i remember chanel drama lash, they're sold out.

i really like my shiseido mascaras they don't clump and are waterproof and they really don't wreck your lashes like a lot of w/p formulas

 

[Marisol]

I agree with Mirtilla, Charms and EnvyMi. I love my DiorShow mascara.

i love my shi 'scara's if you don't buy at least try. i use almay's dual phase m/u remover to take my make up off it does the trick for all my hard to get eye make up. or use whatever you have to get w/p formula's off (just trying to make it easier)

that would be my HG mascara then, that's the reason i switched to shiseido since they are waterproof

 

[Bhav]

Not really the best, but i do like Smashbox Focal Point mascara.

 

[lilla]

Oh yeah, I try every mascara to see which one I'll be happy with

So I'll be getting it next week

I really liked YSL Faux Cils but mine got clumpy and started to flake after using it a week or so. May be it was an old one

Laura will agree w/me that YSL Faux Cils is the best high end mascara & wongy74 will (hopefully) agree w/me that any by Za NY is the best drugstore mascara.

Saks & Neiman's carries them. I suspect some Macy's might carry them, & possibly Bloomies.

I heard they've changed the name, but think either this or this is it. Free shipping until 12 June 2005 w/the code APOLOGIES.

HTH!
