I’ve worn Almay One Coat mascara for about 20 years now (jesus, has it been that long?). I trade off between that and the Clinique freebies, but it’s the only one I actually buy. I have the stubbiest eyelashes (they are almost non-existent) and I’ve actually had friends who have seen me without make up ask me what kind of mascara I use, it makes such a difference.

Triple Effect and Nourishing are waterproof and hypoallergenic, to boot!

Good luck with your search!

I have to defend the DiorShow, and reiterate the comments about a waterproof version existing. I have heard a few beauticians talk about waterproof chemicals being bad for your lashes in the long run though - and wonder if you have considered one of the lash bases (e.g. Paula Dorf Perfest Lash).

On the other hand Lancome is also great - but I keep forgetting which sample I liked the best

I really like Lancome Definicils (my favorite) & its not too expensive. If you are looking for drugstore mascara try L’Oreal Lash Out. I was really impressed with it.

Maybelline Volum’ Express or Sky High Curves mascara works really well. I also highly recommend Prescriptive’s False Eyelashes mascara. It is one of my all-time faves!

Also a trick that I learned was to wipe my mascara brush through a tissue before applying and that will stop the clumping.

I rarely use mascara any more. I usually take 1 of a pair of brown natural false eyelashes and cut it down the middle and apply to the outer corners of my eyes. Then I will sometimes apply Neutrogena Eyelash Tint if I want a darker color. At first it took some trial and error with the lashes. But now it takes me less than 2 mins to apply and my lashes are perfect all day and all night!

I use the waterproof version of CoverGirl Lash Exact since I wear contacts on periodically and live in the Northwest where it happens to rain.all.the.time and swear by the stuff. It’s cheap enough that I don’t mind buying the Clinique Eye Make-up Removal to smear it off at night… because it’s that freaking hard to get off.
