A really good mascara

As my eyes water easily I use Boots No.7 waterproof mascara. It suits me fine and is not too expensive.

Good luck in your finding one that suits you.

Which brands have you been disappointed with? I've always liked Max Factor 2000 calorie and recently Maybelline Sky High.

There was a thread about mascara on Style & Beauty section a couple of months ago which you might find helpful.

I use Benefit They're Real! Brilliant mascara.

I don’t remember Sweepers, but the Maybelline range are very effective I think.

I like the Sky High too. They do a good job and can be swept on thick or thin without clumping. I have the blue and the black.

Lancôme Hypnose

Green People mascara
There is only the one - volumising in black or brown great for sensitive eyes

I like it, you can add layers without it becoming clumpy it builds up the lashes for a dramatic look

I have tried so many, including expensive brands, that claim to be non flaky, smudge proof and enhancing length etc
I have yet to find one that lives up to their claims!

I usually wear a waterproof mascara because I find others ‘run’ on me. I like a thin brush … so watching this post with interest!

Lancôme or Clinique.

Thanks for your suggestions. I’ll have to try them one by one as and when I can afford it.
MollyNew I have tried Rimmel, Max Factor, Collection, Avon, Maybelline and various others that I can’t remember. Some expensive and some cheap. The trouble is that Sweepers was such an excellent mascara that nothing I’ve tried comes close. It was expensive then but worth it. I live in hope that I’ll find one eventually.

I recently tried Maybelline the COLOSSAL and it really does live up to its name. Long, dramatic eyelashes from the first stroke.

Lancôme Hypnose . Took me ages to justify buying a mascara this expensive but unfortunately I now won’t buy anything else!

Benefit are also very good. I don't like the Roller lash in the pink packaging but the others are very good. They do travel sizes so you could try a small one before splashing out £20+ on a full size. Good luck!

You might prefer a tubing mascara, they tend to be more smudge proof. No7 is quite good.

Lancôme Monsieur Big Waterproof - literally the only mascara I have found that doesn’t give me panda eyes !!

I have a lovely Chanel one that DD bought me for Christmas, and can also recommend the ELF tubing mascara; neither of them smudge which I have always found a problem with most mascaras.

I use Benefit They're Real! Brilliant mascara.

I found that to be the worst ever, it clotted and clumped none stop, then dropped off on my cheeks.
I did get my money refunded but would never recommend that one. I used to like Clinique but even that one clots now. I shall be following

I recently found E.l.f after my favorite cheap as chips Boots own was discontinued. E.L.f was recommended in Style magazine Sunday Times and its fab. No flaking or Panda eyes and comes in brown or black at a very reasonable price, Superdrug. Good luck

I love benefit tinted primer. It's supposed to be used under mascara but I use it on it's own it covers well but with a more natural look.

Like GardenofEngland I too only use Benefit tinted primer on its own. It doesn’t make my eyes sting like so many others I’ve tried and does look more natural. Benefit in John Lewis told me it’s been discontinued ( not true) so I buy online directly from Benefit.

Avon lash genius is good and reasonably priced on Amazon

MollyNew I love Maybeline Sky High is brilliant, also Mac do a really good one

Benefit - They're Real, love Benefit mascara!!
