    Hey bees! Just wondering what your go-to mascara is?

     

    I look at some pictures of girls who have the most amazing long individual lashes and their eyes just pop. I want this for my wedding day! I have tried a lot of different ones for my every day mascara and my favorite so far has been Dior Show, but even it didn't make my eyes pop like some pictures I have seen!

     

    Or is this look only accomplished with fake eyelashes?

    I use Dior Show too!  I'm pretty sure that look is due to fake eyelashes....which you can have your make up artist apply for you.

    Maybelline Full and Soft Waterproof mascara is my all time favorite, I just put on 3 thin coats or so and they look super full and long. And it's cheap!

    I like Benefit Badgal, but I occasionally use Clinique Lash Doubling, which also works well for me. I've heard that the new Loreal Extra Volume Collagen Mascara is good (cheap diorshiw alternative), but I don't have any personal experience with it.

    Maybelline Full and Soft for everyday and Benefit Badgal when I am going out. I do plan on wearing false lashes for the wedding day. I may try them out for our e-pics coming up.

    I also liked Badgal! I ran out and am using Stilleto and I like it for everyday use.

    I second Badgal! The brush is so big and amazing. I hate those new silicone brushes- i never have any luck with them.

    Mascara is the only thing that I buy from the drugstore. I like Cover Girl LashExact and LashBlast.

    But, the only thing I've ever been blessed with physically is naturally long, thick, dark lashes, so I don't need much to help them (I'd give them up in heartbeat for better skin or hair, though!)

    I have naturally long (not necessarily full) eyelashes that pop with a few coats of mascara-Dior Show & Bad Gal/Girl (whatever it is) are where it's at.  The green & pink tube (Maybelline?) is all right too.  I uses Laura Mercier corner lashes.  The full lashes were a bit too much-they actually touched above my eyebrows.  I highly recommend the Laura Mercier corner lashes-they are fairly inexpensive (~$15), easy to find (Sephora), and are re-wearable (although I lost mine after I peeled them off post wedding!)

    I had been on the hunt for new mascara and am extremely picky so I decided to try this from Sephora:

    http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P247392&searchString=mascara%20sampler

    You get 10 small tubes of their most popular mascaras, so it's great to try out a bunch without wasting $$$ on a pricey mascara that you might not even like! And for the record, my faves from the set are: Urban Decay Skyscraper Mascara, Fresh Supernova, Benefit BADGal, and Smashbox Lash DNA.

    Dior! I love their eyeliner, too. 

    I have to say, I was really disappointed with Smashbox's mascara. I like a lot of Smashbox products, but the mascara was no better than the Neutrogena I used to use. Dior gives much more pop with less coats.

    I cheat on it a lot, thinking I'm going to find a better one, but I've never found anything that actually beats Lancome's Definicils. Oldie but goodie and it just happens to work the best for me, so that you get very big lashes but no clumpage or feeling like it's a little too drag queen-y. I agree that I found the Smashbox mascara a bit disappointing.

    I use Covergirl Lash Blast, but i'm not obsessed with it or anything. I change mascaras every year or so because I've yet to find a brand that I really love. 

    If I want my lashes to look really amazing for a night out, I use Andrea brand individual lash clusters (from the drugstore) Super cheap and they look great.

    For my wedding I'm wearing Shu Uemura full lashes. They have a wide variety of styles, but most were too drag queeny for me.
