I love maybellines xxl volume and length – it has a base coat and top coat approach that works awesome and lasts. I see they just brought out an upgrade though…

Stila Major Lash is my current fav. It tends to be clumpy, but if you can get just the right amount on the applicator. . . it really does the trick!

Agreed – it’s an old fav of mine. But once you blot most of it with a tissue it works well. That said, I’ll have to dig out my old tube and test drive it again!

Hello 🙂

Can you get a good volume when applying Diorshow Iconic all alone?

(I need a good volumizing mascara, and I am hesitating in buying Iconic…)

I love Maybelline’s Lash Stilletto, as well as lenght, it gives me good volume too. Also Guerlain’s Le 2 Mascara and Givenchy’s Phenomeneye.

Right now I’m using Tarte’s Light, Camera, Lashes – it’s pretty good but my favorite is still MAC’s Plush Lash and yes I prefer this over DiorShow

I have the shortest and most stubborn asian lashes so I use shu uemura eyelash curler, then shu uemura mascara basic as a primer because it keeps the curl and then lancome amplicils or ysl volume effet faux cils mascara.
best thing is it never clumps and it looks amazing!

Maybelline Colossal is very good but Loreal Volume Collagen is amazing…seriously…one coat of this can do what 3 coats of another mascara could…….I CANT WAIT FOR THE LASH BLAST LEGENTH TO COME OUT.

Cover Girl Volume Exact or Rimmel Sexy Curves (just tried this on a whim…totally stunned and I’ve been a Cover Girl since the day I discovered mascara).

Lashblast works every time. I just bought Lancome Hypnose Drama today so we’ll see how that works. Oh & I also bought Cargo LashActivator. The Sephora rep highly recommended it, but hmmm, we’ll see.

I really like Cargo Texas Lash Mascara…Its a little tricky at first because the brush is humungous but once you get the hang of it its amaaaazing. Diorshow is really not worth the price to me, L’oreal Voluminous is as good as drugstore gets for me!

I LOVE Loreal Lash Architect mascara in carbon black. It’s one of the few products that I use again and again – would be gutted if it was discontinued! It makes your lashes really long, curled, thick and well-defined. It’s quite a high impact mascara, so great for when I want my eyelashes to stand out.

I am always trying new mascaras…i’d say the loreal double extend tubes primer is the best, u can use it under any mascara and it makes it work bettee, but the best all around thickening mascara is makeup forever smoky lash, best lengthening mascara would be givenchy’s phenomen’eyes. amazing mascaras!

TexasLash by Cargo is really good for volume, creates a really thick and full lash look, without going long and spidery. Unfortunately I dont know where you ca buy it in the UK. Good for people who have long lashes that arent very volume-y
