Chanel Le Volume is my absolute favorite, but I’m trying to find a cheaper option. So far Lancome Definicils and L’Oreal Telescopic aren’t it.

Le Volume is hard to complete with. Maybe try one of the Lanc̫me Hypnose mascaras. I think they have a couple types with different brushes so choose then brush you prefer. I think Essence Lash Princess РFalse Lash Effect is really good for 5 dollars.

Victoria Beckham’s Future Lash Mascara! It literally glides off with just water and keeps my lashes soft. I’ve always had issues with mascara causing lash fall out when I remove it.

Love Armani Eyes to Kill, but I keep going back to Urban Decay Perversion….It is by far the blackest black mascara I’ve tried….Going to try the new MAC one this week….I’m a sucker for new mascaras with big claims!

Mascara was a huge issue for me when I moved away from. brands from companies that enable animal testing. Tarte Lights Camera Lashes was okay. Now I am using Drama Bomb from Uoma Beauty and I really like it. I am almost done with my third tube.

Lancome Monsiuer Big Waterproof is the only mascara I trust. My lashes are long and point downwards so it takes a mighty mascara to be able to hold their curl for more than 30 minutes. I find the mascara doesn’t last for a full size tube as long as I’d like it to, so I try to pick up the travel sizes when they go on sale as then I waste less product. Thankfully, this mascara goes on sale every 6 months or so.

Illia, Maybelline and cover girl. I’ve received a sample of a MAC mascara I really liked too, but it’s the only one I’ve tried. I’ve had smudging issues with Chanel, Estee lauder, Too Faced, Fenty, and L’Oreal. Lancome has been hit or miss in terms of quality for me.

Givenchy 4 in 1. I love the feel of it and the rounded top is and has been fantastic for years. Hard to find now, but somehow I do find one or two.

My lashes are short unfortunately. I like thickening and lengthening mascaras, I need all the works! A lot of drugstore mascaras are good. Maybelline Falsies line is a favorite go mine. I have a bag of new mascaras I need to use. Chanel de Volume is my very favorite mascara and Lancome Definicils is great for a more natural look.

Two that never run, clump, flake, or smear on me are Lancome Defincils, and Benefit Roller Lash. Bare Minerals had one I loved that both volumized and defined, and never clumped, smeared or flaked. Of course they discontinued it. There was also a Lorac, and a Mac I liked a lot, but I don’t remember their names. My eyes can get watery so it’s hard to find a winner.

Benefit!! Super suprised no one has mentioned Benefit yet! Between Bad gal Bang (a HG product for me), Roller Lash, or They’re Real Magnetic-in that order. Thrive Liquid Lash Extensions or Clinique’s High Impact also never do me wrong. Also love Sky High and Lash Princess(the green one)
