So I have always used Maybelline mascaras because their formula just works for my lashes. However, I have been finding after a couple weeks into a new tube the mascara starts to dry out to the point where it just gets difficult to use. I have therefore been wondering if a $10 tube of Maybelline mascara is even saving me money if I throw it away before or around 1 month of use?
What brands do you guys prefer for mascara? Is high end or drugstore better?
Why do you love it so much??
On the hunt for a new mascara and would love some recommendations!
Thank you!
Last year my SO’s grandma gave me a $50 gift card to Sephora, I bought my usual eyeliner and concealer on boxing day. That’s it.
Halfway through the year of quarantine, I realized my mascaras all died. Instead of buying a $30 mascara I just went with a $10 tube from shoppers and it’s worked perfectly fine. I just realized, that’s the only makeup item purchased this year. I have enough makeup from the last few years that I don’t even want to consider buying anything until it’s all used up. I have way too much, I definitely don’t need any more. Mascara and eyeliner seems to be the only items that die on me, for obvious reasons.
Happy New Year, guys!
"I know you've been wanting to scream," I said, "and it's about to be a very good time to do so."
So my sister wasn’t home, and I got a random instinct to have makeup on. So I took her mascara and thought that I would remove it, but then it turned out good! So i kept it on the whole day and felt great about it. And thankfully, my school is very accepting so that wasn’t a problem :)
I love the look of mascara, but I hate the process of removing it. I’ve been doing some research and some websites are saying “tubing mascaras” are less messy and irritating to remove. Have you guys tried any? What has been your experience? And are they any you can recommend?
Thanks!
I feel like every time I put mascara on, it gets too thick when I only wanted a slight boost to my eyelashes. It will get too much of a dramatic look and then suddenly I look like I’m about to hit the club. Any suggestions? Is it the product I’m using or is it the wand?
I also have a terrible time with it running and it gets under my eyes a lot making me look like I have intense dark circles. Any suggestions with this as well?
I appreciate the feedback
I'm a really dedicated Better Than Sex mascara fan. Used it for about a decade. I've tried their waterproof version, but I just don't like it!
I'm looking for something more similar to the original, but waterproof. I work in construction, and I'd like to start wearing mascara at work without worrying about it moving. (I live on Vancouver Island and it rains a LOT here.)
First time ever posting here! I have very deep set eyes, and I've given up on wearing mascara because my eyes are very deep set so it always ends up smudging/flaking and looking awful. I've tried waterproof mascaras (because my eyes tend to water around the corners) but they flake and i still end up looking like a raccoon.
I've accepted that I probably can't wear mascara. But maybe others have found some solution? I never experimented with makeup as a teen so i feel out of my element with makeup as an adult. Any advice appreciated.
ETA Thanks for all the great suggestions!! I’m going to try some of these out!
Do you just go really slow or something? I am totally clueless. I feel like my world has been flipped upside down, haha.

Has anyone tried it? I can’t seem to find any reviews on makeup alley. I love how it looks but my god the overwhelming smell of bug spray when you open the cap. It only lasts about 4 seconds and then disappears. I am not sensitive to smell at all and usually don’t even notice smells but this is horrendous. There is a waterproof version which I can’t seem to find in Canada.
This looks amazing but I am hoping to find an alternative that doesn’t smell of bug spray and is waterproof. If nothing is available I guess I will stick with bug spray as it only lasts a few seconds and doesn’t linger.
Any thoughts? screenshot of the tube
So I stumbled across this earlier. Allure says mascara should be replaced 3-6 months after opening. But technically you could use it longer due to a study that I’m not going to type up. They recommend 3-6 as bacteria, oil, sweat and other bodily things can get in as it touches you eye. They said it’s fine to use until it turns a different consistency, color or smell than when you bought it. ALWAYS DISCSRD MASCARA AFTER AN EYE INFECTION!
So yes the article is 3 years old

I am on the hunt for a great mascara that doesn't leave my lashes feeling clumped together, that gives great volume, and doesn't have fallout onto my face.
I've been using Marc Jacobs and I like the volume I get but it is all over my under-eye after a few hours of wear.
Help!!
I have medium length, very straight eyelashes. I am hoping to find an everyday mascara that will help me out. I hate removing waterproof mascara everyday, but it is the only success I have with keeping my lashes lifted. Any advice?
He said so at the end of the video addressing the “Kanye situation”. So excited!
