I probably posted here already, but Kiss Me Heroine Make Long & Curl or Volume & Curl is great for stubborn straight lashes like mine! Only one I've found that holds curl all day. It's SUPER waterproof though, so I just use Ponds Cold Cream or something really oily to remove it.

I find the Shu Uemera's lash curler very effective and am currently using Illamasqua mascara. It's claim is that it's water resistant (not water proof). Application is pretty easy, but find that I need to blot the wand of excess product before I apply it. I find that at the end of the day lashes are still satisfactory (in curl), and there is no smudging of the mascara.

My favorite mascaras are:

Shiseido majolica majorca lash expander frame plus
Reason: Comb-like wand, easy to apply for asian eyes. It lengthens lashes and holds curl :) Another plus point it is easy to remove.


My recent discovery: Maybelline False Lash Mascara
I'm always on the fence for Maybelline products. They are not absolutely fantastic but they are also not horrible. I was pleasantly surprised by Maybelline False Lash Mascara. It gave my lashes a good volume boost, lengths as well. It creates a more dramatic look. It doesn't clump if you apply carefully and holds curl too. Easy to remove too.

I've tried several other brands of Mascara from Lancome, Dior and NYX. I still prefer the above 2 mascaras anytime.

- Lash queen feline mascara by Helena Rubinstein: gives a dramatic length and curl and easy to remove pro is hard to find in US. Warning : very doll like effect on me and I find it wear it to office day time environment
- eyes to kills by G. Armani - hold curl like Lash Queen and lengthening.

I don't like some of the Asian brands because they are hard to remove but they are good in holding the curl and lengthening as well.

I used Dior show the original formula and like the brush but it does not hold curl as well as Lash Queen and eyes to kill.

2nd the Kiss Me Heroine Make Volume & Curl Mascara, though it's hard to get outside of Asia. Holds a curl so well.

My fav so far has been Fairydrops Mascara (another Japanese mascara) that Sephora sells. Great volume, great curl. Lancome Hypnose is also pretty good.

I just bought Diorshow because I've heard so many good things. I am disappointed. I think the Lancome Oscillation is much better by far. I almost think my Diorshow may have been previously opened because it seems "dry". Is this normal for Diorshow?

yes it's dry and scented. diorshow is the only mascara from dior i dont get along with but all the other ones do wonders for me. first time i got an eye infection and from using it! i posted this on the rant thread a year or two ago.

I read through and did not see it mentioned yet, but try Rimmel Lash Accelerator - I saw a Youtube review by PrincessJoules where she compared her mascara's, I have to say after seeing this on her I straight away bought one for myself. Since middle of last year I use this every day and it is not hard to take off. A stockist had a 50% off sale and out of all the different brands this was the one that was sold out -_- I never got to stock up. I will have to pay full price unless they have another sale.

I have tried many mascaras - MAC, Clinique, Urban Decay but just too expensive especially when you need to buy more often. I have kept my Mac mascara for a year =P I just can't waste it. I have also tried the falsies mascara (forgot the brand, I think Maybelline?) This is awsome to, I use this for heavier make up but I find the tube dried after a month.

I saw YSL Faux recommended alot, I am quite intrigued and will give this a try.

I have tried a million and one mascaras. I have pretty long eyelashes but my straight asian eyes have a hard time holding curl unless its a waterproof formula. Some of the mascaras that drooped my eyelashes completely down were ysl, le volume de chanel, diorshow, lancome hypnose,...I can see these mascaras working out for people without a curl problem. Anyways, my favorite is maybeline colossal volume in waterproof! It works very well, but I am looking for something that is blacker. I have been using maybelline everyday for about 2 years now. Before, I was using diorshow blackout waterproof, which was great but got clumpy fast.

also have tried all the high end mascaras for many years and i realized all i need is shiseido eyelash curler + maybelline falsies mascara! it's cheap, works great, and is easy to wash off.

I've been using a Japanese brand called Eyemania for my mascara. It's really good at picking up the eyelashes at the inner corners of my eyes which I can never seem to get to with most American brands (because my eyelashes are too damn short!).

I do admit though that I just tend to rely on Cosme (a Japanese makeup ranking site that lists the best selling makeup items for the year) to decide what mascara I'll buy ^^

Hi there! I used to have the same problem but after I switched my curlers and mascaras my eyelashes have changed a lot. I used to used Shu Uemura's eyelash curler but now I use Shiseido's. Even though it's a bit more rigid to use, it helps keep my lashes up and it actually stays that way. Afterwards, I use Shiseido's mascara base and use their High definition mascara after. My lashes now look twice as long and they actually stay that way without looking clumpy. Hope that helps!
