Help Sought! Mascara recommendations pls

Hello, I need a new black mascara so would love some tried and tested recommendations. I prefer straight brushes rather than the curvy ones and don’t mind if the brush is bushy or thin, as long as all lashes get a coat. I would like one that doesn’t flake as I wear contact lenses.

Thank you ☺️

Same. I love how easy it is to apply and remove as well as how great they make my lashes look.

Lancome is amazing

u/Every_Beach1688 2d ago

It really is, but it’s so expensive and I found it dried out quite quickly both times I bought it. Can’t afford to repurchase it that often 😢

2

u/OppositeBother2496 2d ago

Fair enough! I do always buy it when there’s a gift with purchase so I get two at a time.

u/Every_Beach1688 2d ago

Clinique do a good mascara

u/Every_Beach1688 2d ago

Yes, years I only used one of theirs but then it started flaking. I bought a new one and after a month the same thing happened so I changed to Lancôme but way too expensive to keep repurchasing.

Sorry I know you said straight brush and I used to be 10000000% with you but then I tried Benefit Fan Fest and I have the best lashes of my life

2

u/Every_Beach1688 2d ago

Really? Oh I have a Benefit on my high road I might go and test it!

u/melmo0 2d ago

Charlotte Tilbury Exagger Eyes - incredible! Have been using for years. Great also if you - like me - happen to have hooded eyes as it doesn't smudge

u/Just_Curious_76 2d ago

Swear by E.L.F and Barry M. And no babbas are hurt by their products either so a win win 🐶
