TL;DR
Popular Drugstore Options
Many users recommend drugstore mascaras for achieving longer eyelashes. The Maybelline Lash Sensational is frequently mentioned for its ability to add length without clumping, making it a favorite among those looking for a dramatic effect [2:1]
[3:5]. Another popular choice is the Essence Lash Princess, which provides both length and volume, often leading people to ask if the wearer's lashes are real
[2:8]
[3:6].
High-End Alternatives
For those willing to invest in higher-end options, Diorshow and Tarte Maneater are notable mentions. Diorshow is praised for its performance on stage without the need for false lashes [2:4]. Tarte Maneater is particularly favored by individuals with straight lashes, as it effectively curls and lengthens without the use of a lash curler
[3:1].
Waterproof and Specialty Mascaras
Waterproof mascaras are essential for those with very straight or stubborn lashes. L'Oréal Lash Paradise waterproof version is highly recommended for its ability to hold curls all day [5:7]. Additionally, tubing mascaras, which form tubes around each lash, are suggested for their unique application and removal process
[2:6].
Asian Market Favorites
For those with extremely straight lashes, Asian brands like Heroine Make and Etude House are recommended. These mascaras are known for their strong hold and ability to maintain curl throughout the day [5:1]
[5:2]. They are particularly popular among users with Asian heritage who find that Western mascaras do not meet their needs.
Combination Techniques
Some users suggest combining different mascaras to achieve the desired effect. For example, using one mascara for length and another for volume can create a more dramatic look [3:9]. This technique allows for customization based on individual preferences and lash types.
Honestly in a lot of other Emmy seasons Andor would have won Best Drama. But going up against The Pitt and Severance? This Emmy's was a murderer's row.
Agree, I would’ve only been disappointed if Andor walked away with 0 wins during the main show since I think it deserves at least some recognition. Otherwise all the winners were absolutely deserved. The Pitt came out of nowhere and stole the year, I’m happy that Noah Wyle essentially got a lifetime achievement award and won for the show he helped write & produce.
And y’know, mon mothma, which was just an absolute gorgeous piece of casting
Curious how’d you find your way into this thread as a non SW fan?
The show was fantastic. It was so much better than it had any right to be.
If you asked me 5 years ago if a show about Cassian Andor was a good idea, I would've laughed at you. If you told me that it would one day be my favorite out of all star wars shows I'd be rolling on the floor laughing and think you needed a psychiatrist.
Well here I am, firmly claiming that a show about Cassian fucking Andor is up there with the best shows of all time such as the Wire, Breaking Bad, and Deadwood. It's unreal, and I love it.
The thing is that Andor isn't really a show about Cassian Andor. It's a show about oppression and tyranny and revolution and what it does to people. Andor and his radicalization is just the vector that's expressed through.
I just finished Andor and I absolutely loved it, every minute of it.
Me too! Just finished it last night.
Won. Way. Out!
To be fair, many things peaked in The Clone Wars Mandalore arc, I honestly think that's the best thing Filoni ever wrote.
She was absolutely amazing in both seasons...shame that she didn't get recognized :(
I think I’m allergic to eyelash glue �� I love wearing makeup and lashes, so if I can find a mascara that makes my lashes look similar to “fake” or like longer I’ll take that. There’s so many that I’m looking online I just don’t know which one is the best
I swear by Diorshow. I've worn it on stage and not needed falsies because of it.
Agreed I’m wearing that today and shocked at how long my lashes look. This mascara is getting better every time I use it as it gets clumpier.
I use Essence Lash Princess and I love it
100% this! I’ve been using this mascara for about 6 weeks and it’s amazing. One coat and your lashes are long, fluttery, and BAM! falsie-effect. It’s $4.99 at Ulta and completely worth it!
I’m a mascara snob. I’ve tried so many high and low end and this is my favorite. I get it for about $6 on Amazon And its cruelty free !
Was going to comment this! I've been using Lash Princess for a year or two now and haven't found anything that compares. I get asked often if they're my real lashes.
YES. This one made me give up high end mascara.
I love maybelline Volum' express falsies. (It's the purple tube.) When you first put the mascara on, it will look amazing. I've had people ask if they were fake lashes. It flares and lengthens your lashes also. Next time you use it, scarpe off all the product into the tube and wipe the wand again before applying. That way it does not clump up on your lashes. I go with the non waterproof kind, so it is more gentle to wash off.
YES also my go-to!! If you have stubborn & naturally straight eyelashes like me, I would highly recommend opting for the waterproof formula. As far as removal goes, I’ve found that double cleansing — first with cleansing oil on a cotton pad and then normal cleanser afterward — is gentle on my lashes & prevents me from tugging :)
Those are great! I've also had great luck with the Maybelline Lash Sensational in the pink tube. It adds the length OP is looking for but in my opinion it comes out less "clumpy." In general, Maybelline makes great mascaras.
Have you heard of tubing mascaras? Look them up in this community, or YouTube, heaps of info and pics. Lots of brands do them. It creates 'tubes' around the lashes, rather than coating them with colour.
Are you allergic to latex? I am and a lot of lash glue contains latex! You can get latex free glue if you are, I know it's not the answer you're looking for but it may help!
hi! i have been getting into makeup recently and i have tried a few mascaras but they don’t seem to wow me. they either flake really easily or make my lashes voluminous enough. what’s worked for you?
Tarte lights, camera, lashes. I got hooded eyes and mascara always makes me look like a panda, but this one holds perfectly.
Yes I was looking for this comment! I second this. I have super straight lashes, I tried a lot of mascaras in my life, but this one showed the best results, it actually curls my lashes a little. I have been using this one for 2 years now.
Essence Lash Princess
am I the only one that doesn't like lash princess? it makes my lashes so clumpy
This. So dry and so clumpy. Now on the hunt for a new mascara as i threw it out :(
I recommend anyone try this before anything else. With the price, you can’t lose. Most Essence mascaras are great but this one is truly the best.
Maybelline lash sensational. Not the sky high one. The one in the bigger tube! Of both high end and drugstore, this is my #1
I tried a bunch of Maybellines once and there were a few that really worked well. I think combining any. 2 is a great hack.
The pink one The yellow jumbo The full n soft
See, I layer at least 3 different mascaras every day. One for length/definition, one for volume and one for curl. I like layering them! But if I'm only gonna use one, it's lash sensational. It really does the job of all the other ones combined. I still top it with a tubing mascara to lock it all in though. Waterproof scares me lol
I live in SEA and asian mascaras (like the heroine one and other local brands near me) save my life and keep my lashes curled
I also use a 2-3 coats of mascara, brush through my mascara with a spoolie so i dont get that voluminous look bc im not into it, and i heat up my curler till its warm with a hairdryer and curl
On another sub someone mentioned asian mascaras. She said there was a drug store brand she loved.
Tarte Maneater. Every Black Friday I buy 12 tubes and use a new one each month. I’ve tried every mascara and I always go back to this one.
ETA: I have incredibly straight, fine (Asian) lashes and this mascara lengthens and curls my lashes and I do not use a curler any longer.
Fellow long lashed girl here!
Essence - Goodbye Panda Eyes L’Oréal - One Million Lashes Clinique - High Impact Mascara Helena Rubenstein - Lash Queen: Feline
These are my all time favorites. I’m very particular too, since most of the mascaras I hear people rave about will turn my lashes into a clumpy spidery mess 🥴
Was gonna recommend the essence one too! I really like it and I also have long eyelashes:)
Not drug store, but I really like the Lancôme monsieur big and the Cils booster primer.
Seconding Monsier Big and adding Definicils for natural, separated lashes. HG
I can recommend you the SkyHigh mascara from Maybelline, this one is really great!
Exactly this one. I have naturally long lashes, but they're quite straight.
This one gives me volume, not too much additional length and the waterproof version holds curl all day!
I actually bought the Sky High mascara from Maybelline yesterday. I haven’t tried it yet because I bought 4 different ones from the recommendations in the comments.
Telescopic by L’Oréal
Telescopic is the GOAT! I actually use it as a second coat of mascara w my first being a somewhat dried out tube of UD Perversion. Idk man, when I pair those two up I get real next level lashes
Yay!! I’m so happy you found something that worked!
You should definitely check out some of their other products too. I’ve found some great palettes, blushes and highlighters. They’re cruelty free, and even if you end up not liking the product 100% the low price tag won’t make you regret the purchase too much.
L’Oréal lash paradise is a perfect dupe for this for much cheaper!!
The Cils booster makes them so long and healthy!
I have such straight eyelashes that when I got them lifted, they were straight within 48 hours. I waited the 24 hours before getting my face wet but they were already going down by then :(
I know I need a good waterproof mascara. Any recommendations for one I can get from Ulta?
I’ve tried a heated curler; it kind of worked but barely.
I have straight lashes but I do love using Etude House's Lash Perm Curl Fix Mascara
Gotta second this!!
I have really stubborn, straight asian eyelashes and every American mascara I’ve tried (waterproof, drugstore or high end) has given me panda eyes and droopy lashes. I gave up and did falsies daily but it really irritated my eyes.
I recently got the Etude house mascara + primer duo and I love it!! It’s the ‘Etude House Dr. Mascara Fixer Primer’ and ‘Etude House Lash Perm Curl Fix Mascara.’ My eyelashes stay curled all day and never smudge, but it is harder to take off. I’ve also heard people like the Heroine mascara and the Pmel mascara primer.
kiss me heroine is strong. like think gorilla glue type of power. i’m amazed at how my stick lashes actually stay forever
I’m not sure if it’s the same one but I use Heroine make mascara and it is also gorilla glue strong. Stole it from my sister, her eyelashes point down but they stay curled allllll day with this stuff
My eyelashes are also extremely straight! I’ve never found a mascara that works, but still going through this list here from a post I made so hopefully that helps :)
I started getting lash lifts and on my second one I was def scammed, half of my lashes didn’t even curl and they’re already falling. I think that this practice isn’t super regulated in the skill set so you might’ve just had a shitty tech like I did. Try getting your own kit or going to a different salon before giving up. Good luck I know your pain!!
You have to find a reputable lash technician! Plus, my tech advises me to not wet my lashes for 48 hours. My lashes are extremely straight and some even turn downward at the ends lol. My lift always lasts approximately 8 weeks!
I second this!
I agree. I don’t think anyone’s hair can just be “immune” to those chemicals. Another experienced technician with good reviews could probably do an effective job with them.
I highly recommend L'Oreal Lash Paradise waterproof. I get compliments almost daily and my pastor at church asked if my lashes were real! Good stuff.
Came here to suggest this too!
MakeMe Heroine mascara!!! I’ve also tried the canmake mascara and theyre good. My OG HG was the fairydrops mascara but they don’t seem to exist anymore
Will have a shop around for these, the wand on fairydrops looks really good, looks like it might only be available online 😬
It’s actually called KissMe Heroine Make* sorry I butchered that one lol.. but it’s really good, it’s meant for short Asian lashes and it doesn’t smudge easy. Although it might need a goos cleanser to remove. *edit: they all are japanese brands and meant for asian short lashes
Heroine Kiss Me mascara, they're hard to get off but honestly they hold up so well
i love the no mascara look on you. as far as lashes go, have you considered lash growth serum? and have you tried curling them before mascara?
my eyelashes grow downwards too so when i discovered fake lashes i stopped bothering with mascara
Thank you 😊 Haven't heard of growth serum, do you know any good/safe brands to use? I seem to lose a few of my lashes when I curl them and it doesn't tend to last curled for long unfortunately, I have only worn fake lashes a few times for special occassions but it takes me sooo long to do 😅 the thought of extentions scare me...I'm ok with touching my own eyes but not other people touching mine 👀
no i haven't dabbled in serums but i know they are expensive 😳
oh no please dont rip your lashes out lol. i understand your struggle, mine fall down after 10 minutes or so. but sometimes i curl them for the fantasy. or to blend them with falsies.
fake lashes take so much practice! but once you get the hang of them it's OVERR for everyone
lash extensions scare me too
Covergirl exhibitionist stretch and strengthen. It’s in a black and gold tube. Best mascara I’ve used (can see it on most recent photo of me on my page). It also strengthens your lashes! Not just damage them like most mascaras
Ooh thank you, that sounds promising and looks so good on you! 🤩
im currently using the mac 3d lash dimension. i have straight lashes and want something that will make my lashes look more curled and uplifted. something affordable, and ive heard waterproof mascara makes lashes stay up more, not sure if thsts true?
I’ve definitely had more luck with waterproof. My lashes refuse to stay curled as a general rule, but I get the best results from the L’Oréal Voluminous Carbon Black line. I’ve tried a few here and there and always come back this one.
OP, warm your eyelash curler with a hairdryer beforehand, curl, apply this mascara, and they WILL stay. I’ve used this mascara for a decade and have tried all different types and brands - I always come back to this one in waterproof carbon black. Always.
I second the waterproof mascara and blowdrying your lash curler to warm it up..... Except I swear by CoverGirl Lashblast waterproof formula in the orange tube. My lashes stay curled all day and night.
Thank you all!
Essence- lash princess . ~$5 amazing!! Been using it for years!
Came here to say this! So cheap but works so well
Came to say the same thing! It's awesome!
I like Maybelline sky high mascara but the waterproof one, it keeps my eyelashes curl after using curler, other mascaras I used to use always makes my lashes straight again It's really hard to wash out this mascara unfortunately
The L’Oréal telescopic mascara has been my go to for years. I always go back to that one!
Haha I literally just said this one too. I love it cuz it stays juicy and gives length.
If you warm your curler with a hairdryer, please test it on the back of your hand first.
An overheated curler on an eyelid is hella painful!
None of these one give as much length as I want, you're better off with big deal by L'Oréal or lash without limits by essence
thank you!
thank you!
Maybelline Sky High is great.
This one and Maybelline Illegal Length are my HG
thanks😀
thanks😀
Telescopic. I might be in the minority here but that maybelline mascara does nothing but weigh down my lashes.
Telescopic is amazing rite!
Yes! It literally makes my lashes look so long!
The telescopic is AMAZING
Telescopic !
Hello I did this for blushes awhile back and it was really helpful, so i've done it for Mascaras!
Basically its a compilation of reviews of mascaras across Reddit, which I then sorted and ranked based on the number of upvotes associated with them.
Full list here
==========
1. Essence Lash Princess (Multiple Variants)
2. Clio Kill Lash Superproof Mascara (Multiple Variants)
3. Maybelline Sky High Mascara
4. Heroine Make Mascara
5. L'Oréal Telescopic Waterproof Mascara
6. Thrive Mascara
7. Glossier Lash Stick
God, Essence’s was terrible for me.
I got rid of my expensive mascaras and only use the green lash princess now - it costs about 20% of the price of the benefit ones that I was previously using!
Though I do know that they dont work for everyone - my sister had the same experience as you did!
Yeah, it really looked terrible on me. Not sure what the deal is. My go-to is Maybelline’s Lash Sensational. A curved wand works well with the natural curve of my lash line.
Chanel Le Volume de Chanel is my holy Grail. Expensive but worth every penny.
I’ve been looking for good mascaras recently but haven’t found one yet I really liked. I’m looking for a mascara that makes me lashes look a lot longer and makes every single eyelash hair stand out, instead of it clumping together. Any recommendations?💙💙
Two of my most favorite mascaras ever are Complex Culture’s Executive Level Mascara and Thrive Causemetic’s Liquid Lash Extensions. Thrive is a little bit more on the expensive side but considering how effective it is, I highly recommend it, especially if you have light colored lashes!
I second Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions, works really good!
Third Thrive!
anything maybelline , i love maybelline lash sensational but maybelline sky high is prob more what ur asking
Lash sensational is horrible in humid weather though!
I really like lash paradise by loreal
I looooove the Milani anti gravity mascara- it’s a dupe for the mac macstack for sure. Both are great at drugstore and high end price points :)
Good to know! I've always wanted to try the Milani and love the Macstack
I found the Ilia Limitless Lash mascara was good for this. Not great at holding a curl though if that’s important to you. My eyelashes are stick straight so the fact that it didn’t curl was an issue for me, but otherwise I found it really did lengthen and separate with no clumping or flaking
AGHHH!! Literally want to cry!! I told myself to ask Reddit and if I still couldn’t find anything I’d buy this!!! It’s kinda expensive and getting that to ship where a live will literally add $20!! Not even kidding!! This comment is yelling at me to go for it and just buy it🙈🙈
Oh that’s awful! Maybe someone will have a suggestion that’s easier/cheaper for you to get? I don’t think the Ilia is special enough to be worth it’s high price plus $20 shipping!
