Best mascara for asian lashes?

[beauty k addict]

Rimmel makes one, I can't remember the name, but its got a slim brush and it goes on nicely.

I use Rimmel clear mascara as base which I have no complains about but other than that all their mascara (being cheap and all) are nothing but a disappointment.

You definitely have to pay for a good quality kind! :okay:

im not asian but the new covergirl mascara is really good it makes my lashes look long & full
its lash exact it really works

I would recommend Shisheido mascaras to hold that curl!! After that, I use Max Factor 2000 Calories to get volume.

I'm Asian with short, straight eyelashes, too.

i picked up the YSL everlong mascara on a whim the other day (along with a couple hundred dollars worth of other YSL products-but that's a different story ) and i tried it out for the first time this morning and i can honestly say that this is the only mascara i'll be using from now on-it's absolutely amazing! i have pretty stubby lashes and my co-worker actually asked me if i was wearing false lashes. also, it doesn't clump at all and separated my lashes in a way they've never been separated before. i'd always used dior or lancome mascaras prior to this but i won't be going back to them.

CHANEL IMITIABLE works wonders for me.

i use the lancome mascara primer (cils booster) and then lancome hypnose!

You should try to get your hands on the Imju Fiberwig, I really like it so far. My lashes are actually quite long, but like most Asians, they're straight and nearly impossible to curl. So it's nice to finally get some curves going on near my face thanks to the Imju Fiberwig (after beating them with my eyelash curler, of course!). Multiple coats are fantastic with the IF - it doesn't clump like most mascaras I've tried, nor does bits of the mascara chunk off on my face and smear black all over it. It's also weatherproof, so your mascara won't run! I've tried everything on your list as well and none of them did anything for me; I'll also add Bare Escentuals Big Tease to your list of "tried and unimpressed with" mascaras.

I'm not sure what's available in Canada, but this is an excellent primer/base coat:

And this Bourjois one comes with both the primer and a mascara:

have you tried lancome - definicils? I swear by it and so do all my girlfriends who are asian!!

It's awesome that most of us have longer lashes than most Asians. I am too. Maybe it's because I'm a mutt but my eyes are pretty big and the lashes are long.

A lot of great suggestions here... but what I found works great for me is:

Loreal Double Extend Mascara

I never use the white primer. I think it a lot has to do with the brush. It's a thicker brush with a lot of bristles so the coverage is good and it goes on even without clumping.

It definitely works for me considering my lashes are long but thin.
=)

Also I love how it's very inexpensive. I have one on my makeup table at home and put a emergency one in my bag. I use to wear $60 Mascara that didn't do half as good of a job.

i'm a mutt too!!

i've actually tried that double extend and found that it clump a lot. maybe it's just me...

well i have tried maybelline( the pink bottle ), mac fibre lash was pretty good - but clumpy... i have tried all sorts lancome loreal etc...
but the latest purchase has been chanel inimitable mascara and its amazing! no clumping wht so ever and leaves a veyr fine coverage -

YSL faux cils is good for lengthening and thickening. It makes my lashes looks like my friends from India and the middle east. They have the most gorgeous eyelashes that are naturally curled and long.

have you tried lancome - definicils? I swear by it and so do all my girlfriends who are asian!!

i was going to say the same. i've tried them all and always go back to Lancome Defincils. Diorshow was too fibery for me and my lashes looked like spider legs. and it got in my contacts.

Shu Uemura Basic. It's smudge proof and water-resistant, holds a curl, doesnt clump, and has a well-shaped brush.

I've used lots of different mascaras (diorshow, clinique, ysl faux cils, maybelline, etc) and Shu Uemura remains my favorite

I'm currently using Chanel Inimitable (waterproof) and am quite liking it
I've also tried Blinc, but preferred it more when it had the mini tube with tiny brush.
I was actually so curious about the Fiberwig that I hunted it down in the US last weekend when I went there for shopping! Let's see how that goes once I try it!
I also recommend the Laura Mercier mini eye-lash curler, it's not like the traditional curlers, it looks more like a clothes clip if you will, so you can grab smaller sections of lashes and curl them (for those girls with short, straighter lashes!)
