I have tried almost all mascaras that are available where I live. Most mascaras actually look quite good one me but I have a lot of lashes and they are quite long already without mascara. I'ld say my favorites are Lancome Hypnose drama and babydoll. I use them together. If one wants cheaper mascara than Lancome I would recommend Max Factor calorie2000. It works really well. I would not recommend Maybelline. It flakes on me. I would also not recommend Diorshow extase as it clumps my lashes together. Of course this might be different experience for different people depending on their lashes and how many coats you put on.
