Withstand my job! I groom dogs, I get soap and water in my face.
so …
1. no smudging
2. no flaking
3. no clumping (that type of clumping that waterproof does after a while, sticking together)
4. last all day.
Agreed.
All of the above! Length, volume, no flaking, the blackest of all black mascaras…and here’s the difficult part: easy to wash off! LOL. Diorshow Blackout is pretty much my DREAM mascara, except it is so packed with pigment that it’s a serious pain to wash off. :/
I definately second that! Staying power but also easy to remove. I have the most trouble with non-waterproof mascara flaking, and trouble with not being able to remove waterproof mascara. Ideally my mascara would:
-hold curl
-lengthen
-glossy black
-no flaking
-no clumping
-easy to removce
Oh my! Yours sounds amazing! I’d love a ultra volumizing, lengthening and curling mascara, that doesn’t come in too big a brush for my Asian eyes, in ultra jet black – and will give you a dolly look!
agreed also with a low price tag
Blackest black, length (but if not much then it’s still ok), no clumping, hold the curl, and VOLUME!!! I want truly faux lashes. Hope that the Opulash ad is true.
same here! with everything you said! =)
make them look like false lashes, be under $15, last for at least 8 weeks before drying up.
Maximum Length, Volume & Very Black.
Also waterproof, smudgeproof and washable with water (like the tubular lash technology).
I love it when my mascara lengthens, volumizes, thickens and overall gives me some curl. I find that Plush Lash from MAC does all of the above wonderfully. 😀
But I’m kind of curious about the upcoming Opulash, so I may need to buy a tube of that. 🙂
I have really short, lame lashes. I want lashes with length and volume!! and I like it really black!!
I want extremely volumizing, thickening, and some extra length wouldn’t hurt. It also needs to come in the most extremely dark black possible.
has to hold a curl, add volume and be black black black. i have long lashes anyway but i guess length is good too.
I want length and separation.
curl + length.
I want volume & length and curl! Plus super ultra black, blacker than night! lol
Give me eyelashes that are full but still somewhat natural-looking.
The perfect mascara would make my eyelashes look exactly like in the advertisings ( like Diorshow axtase or Lancôme ), because it never happens in reality !!
I want a mascara that gives volume & length w/o clumping. I don’t want it to flake or smudge & to last all day yet won’t be a pain in the butt to take off at night.
Make my lashes look longer and fuller, separate them, no clumping or flaking, but still washes off easily. I like black brown mascaras and I wish that they would last longer before drying out. Oh, yeah…it would also be inexpensive.
it would evenly coat each individual lash, from root to tip, without drying out and flaking onto my cheeks
I need waterproofness and I want ultra black blackness, length and volume.
Separate well,volume,glossy and take it out easily. 😛
Apply evenly with no clumps, thicken and lengthen lashes whilst keeping them separated in a deep, inky black shade that didn’t smudge or flake.
Half the battle is designing the tube so you get exactly the right amount on the brush each time!
Super matte blackblackblack as black as it gets with great separation of the lashes and coating each individual lash with a layer of mascara creating a thickened effect and also no smudging,budging or fallout. Quick dryer so my already super long lashes wouldn’t have time straighten after being curled (currently I always blow dry my lashes so that thay don’t lose their curve!)
with my dream mascara i would look like those girls in the pictures from magazines….
curl and keep the curl throughout the day! I’m not crazy about eyelash curlers :S
Urban Decay Big Fatty [non-waterproof]. 😀 I recently got this and I am in LOVE. It’s so dark! :] It lengthens and thickens..it doesn’t clump and most of all..i can wash it off SO easily! And the packaging is so fun! -swoons-
I need curling, but I can´t find the perfect marcara for me
Mine has to tick these boxes:
Lengthen
Curl
Rinse off easily
Not smudge during the day
Not clump on application.
False lashes. In a tube. You heard me!
No flaking, clumping, smudging, etc. Maybelline XXL PRO BOLD 24HR is pretty much this, but it is kinda hard to remove 🙁
1. Volumizing
2. Lengthening
3. Holds a curl
4. No smudging
5. No flaking
6. No clumping
7. Washes off easily
Imaju Fiberwig is pretty good for me, except the volumizing version is a very wet mascara that is hard to work with!
Long lasting curl, and length. And no flaking, no smudging, lasts all day.
Smudging is my biggest complain. Of course volume would be great and no flaking either. To wash off mascara try olive or coconut oil and with a Q tip, just lightly wipe off the excess. That usually helps when I use water proof mascara.
I waaaaant
1. volume
2. length
3. thickness
4. no smudging
5. blackblackblack!
6. and the ability to hold a curl
I do think I’ve found my dream mascara in Diorshow Waterproof.
TONS of volume but with great separation…kind of like MAC’s studio fix but with way more volume.
intense blackness with a lot of length, plus no smudging, flaking or clumping
My lashes are already long enough to say.
Even though, I would love that my mascara give me volume and thickness but Christine any recommendations on a good mascara? I’ve been using Bobbi Brown perfectly defined mascara but it doesn’t give me what I am looking for. Thanks
My dream mascara doesn’t flake or budge during all my major eye allergies, it also is glossy black, makes my lashes longer and thicker. Clinique Lash Power comes pretty close to perfect!
I want it all length and fullness. And NO smudging. MUFE pretty much does that for me.
My dream mascara would be a mascra that will not smudge, not clump, not flake, will last up to 24 hours, will give me definiting and volumize my lashes since I love volumizing mascaras.
Curling, volume, separating and does not cause dryness
I want the same as Christine.
I would love it if a mascara would:
create tons of volume
as well as thicken
and lengthen
and be a true deep matte black
that wouldn’t smudge or flake!
yet would be easy to remove.
Lengthen and curl, curl, curl
…and come off without a fight or the possibility of day after raccoon eyes!
I’d like one that curl my lashed (they are long enough thank you) adds a bit of volume and that does not clump of flake AND that is afordable.
I have volume, so I think thickness would be great! I want it to look natural like MAC X, but be buildable to dramatic like plushlash or zoomlash. I also want it to be waterproof so it holds the curl all day, and of course smudge free, clump free and flake free.
It wouldn’t clump… it would separate and beautifully thicken and lengthen each lash for an enhanced but natural look 🙂
-volume
-length
-curl
-thicken
-seperate
-smudgeproof
Instant falsies? My natural lahes are decently long and thick, so if its a good opaque color thats really all I “need”. I DO love the dramatic falsie look though, so if i could get that out of a mascara tube I’d be happy. False lash glue tends to irritate my eyes, and the bands never fit right.
1. only slight lengthening
2. ultra-black
3. lots of volume
4. lots of thickness
5. no clumping, smudging, or flaking
6. doesn’t come off until i wash it off
7. brush that’s super easy to use
8. inexpensive
I would want mine to come of super easily and to lengthen and define my lashes.
Somthing that makes my lashes super fat… a little length… and really somthing that makes my lashes look like falsies with no clumpage. Also a wet look and a tiny bit of sparkle would be great.
I want a mascara that holds the curl.I hate curling my lashes, putting on mascara and then having to recurl them again.It’s a pain.
I have short, straight lashes. I want volumizing, lengthening & blacker eyelashes. I think that it ought to be illegal for mascara ads to show a woman with false eyelashes on. That’s false advertisement in my book! I toss a few mascaras away every year cause they don’t live up to the advert claims.
1. Ultra thickening (bot not spidery)
2. feathery
3. clumpfree
4. moisturzing
It would give my lashes volume without clumping, remove easily without flaking, be as black as the chemists can make it, and my dream mascara will also give me shine… I’ve always wanted a mascara that would make my lashes shimmer. A mascara is only as good as its brush, though, and to keep my lashes nice and separated I’d want a wand with plastic bristles (like Rimmel’s Sexy Curves). I want false lashes without the fakes- dramadramadrama! Oh, and it will also hold onto my curl and won’t break the bank. Ideally.
no smudging, no flaking, but also soft lashes and holds curl well. I can’t seem to find all of those in any product!!
My dream mascara would make my lashes look how these models in the promo ads lashes look. Super long, suoer thick, super defined, all while being water proof.
Not clump, volume, separate, lengthen and curl.
Super black and false lash length with no clumping or spider lash look
All of the above…
Ahh my dream mascara would be…
-Long lasting
-Easy to Remove
-No flaking
-No clumping
-Curls
-Thickness
-Lengthens
-Volumizing
-Afforable
What I pretty much want is a mascara that can give you those nice baby doll curls but also has a kick of fake eyelashes.
wont clump
won smudge
back with bluish tint
lenghten until my lashes touched my brow bones when i look up
and thinken just a smidge
