Volume, Umpf and Jessica Rabbit like eyelashes are my current buzz words when it comes to purchasing a new mascara. I’m a tough cookie to please when it comes to this area so I’ve picked out some of my favourites that I’ve come across over the past year. Each have their good points, naturally some more than others. Keep reading to see which one in particular knocks the socks off the others.
Rimmel Max Volume Flash Mascara:– A great day time mascara.
– Gives light to medium volume in width and length.
– If you have straight lashes this give a natural curved effect.
– Easy to find at the bottom of my makeup bag!
– Not my ideal choice for an evening out – after a while you might notice black bits falling under your eyes.
Price: € 8.80 / £6.70
Lancome Hypnose Waterproof mascara:– This is your heavy duty mascara that will not budge.
– Ideal for those working in hot climates or on holidays.
– Highly recommended for those looking for prolonged look mascaras
– A good quality eye makeup remover is needed to take it off. Something along the lines of Clarins Instant Eye Makeup Remover
– Definitely one of my all time favourite waterproof mascaras
Price: €27.50 / £22.99
Mac In Dimension 3D Black Lash Mascara
– The brush has a large number of fine bristles giving definition to even the smallest of eye lashes
– It layers beautifully enabling you to have as much volume as you wish.
– Long lasting
– Gives great curves as well as length to lashes.
– Feels light with no clumping
Price: €16/ £18
Soap & Glory – Thick & Fast
– One of my favourite lower end products
– Application is very quick
– The brush is very similar to some Yves Saint Laurent styles I’ve used in the past
– Lengthens even the smallest of lashes
– Works very well for a night out
Price: €11.70 / £10
The overall favourite:
The 3D mascara does everything that it promises and more. I would highly recommend it especially for those with the finest or most sensitive lashes. This deep noir shade really adds to a thick and volumising effect. It hasn’t left my makeup bag since I bought it.
So ladies do you have a favourite volumising mascara? If so, please share and comment below!:)
