I love, love, LOVE Rimmel Volume Flash Instant Thickening Mascara. Rimmel better not discontinue or reformulate this or i'll be really upset. It goes on even, doesnt flake, & you cant beat the price. My lashes always look amazing. :yahoo:
 
You have to "twirl" it? How do you do that? And you have to wipe if off in between applications? I'm always willing to try something new...but is it hard?:confused1:

Hi, the brush is very different from other mascaras in the past. It is 4 sided and flat with short combs, not a brush like regular mascaras. First, the wand is longer than I am used to and very flexible. Like I said, it takes a bit to get used to. I wipe off the excess on the top of the tube. I go from root to tip without wiggling back and forth like I normally would with other mascaras. You "twirl" the brush as you go up the lash. You don't hold it in one position. This is a key point in applying it. If you tend to wiggle back and forth, you will clump. Then comb through with a clean lash brush. I then apply another coat, and I am good to go. I don't even wear eye shadow with it. No need for eyelash primer or anything. I read reviews that some had problems with smudging after a few hours of wear, but I wore it on Friday night and clubbing in a very hot and crowded club and I was fine. I will see if I can post before and after pics.

Can you tell I love this stuff? LOL
 
I like Lancome mascara's in general, but I just got their new one Cils Design Pro, and I really like it. One end has a Lengthening formula and the other has a comb that adds volume.
 
Try using more than one type of mascara. I use a volumizing mascara along with more of a defining mascara. I start out with the defining for a coat or two, switch to the volumizing and then switch back to the defining mascara. It lets me get the volume I want without it becoming clumpy, like most volumizing mascaras seem to be. It works for me!

I usually use Loreal Voluminous (waterproof) and Maybelline's Lash discovery (waterproof).
 
i use shu uemera's fiber xtensions. i think they make my eyelashes look really nice. i'm asian and my lashes are short and thin and when i wear mascara you can hardly tell they're even there. but with shu's mascara even my sister thought i had fake lashes on! if u look at my avatar you can kind of see how it looks... but it isn't the best picture to tell...
 
Every says such great things about Maybelline, but their masceras just don't work on my lashes. Idk why. I think maybe it's just becuse I have very long, thick, black lashes so I can't see the results as good as I would if I had lighter shorter lashes, but it just doesn't work at all. Cute packaging, don't know why I'm not getting the good results i hear about it.
 
I'd say lancome makes the best mascaras for lengthening and dramatic flair. Kevyn Aucoin makes the best natural looking lashes for work. But maybelline stuff works as well, just only for natural looks because they don't thicken lashes. diorshow imo gives a natural look and a nice gentle curl. However this doesn't last long for my lashes so I'd be willing to give the waterproof version a go.

Any girls able to tell me if it's worth buying the waterproof lancome mascaras? Do they do the same job as their non-waterproof siblings? The ones I've tried are mini gift versions and they are amazing but the lift doesn't last long because they aren't waterproof.
