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 smile

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.

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

I use Benefit They're Real! Brilliant mascara.

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.

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.

Does anyone remember Sweepers mascara by Yardley.
I used it in the 70s. It was a fabulous mascara. Went on like a dream, gave you incredibly long eyelashes, and never clumped.
Unfortunately it’s been discontinued so can anyone who recalls it recommend a mascara that does the same job.
I’m getting fed up of inferior mascara that claims to give a false eyelash effect but falls short of delivering.
So if you actually remember Sweepers and is using one that does what it says on the label I’d be grateful for your recommendations.
I’ve tried false eyelashes but can never get them right.
