For me i dont feel any mascara give me long luscious lashes....., they just make my eyelashes black or brown or whatever. For me, the importance of a mascara is how does it wash off ??? I was so sick of having panda eyes every time i stepped outta the shower,until i found a mascara called 'mirenesse - secret weapon mascara'. Chemists sell it, shopping channel, or google mirenesse. The mascara comes off in beads off your eyelashes.....no smudging or panda eyes....i love it. Costs around $30.

A girlfriend of mine brought back from overseas a christian dior black mascara for me......TBH i cannot believe they charge $80+ for this stuff.....its no better than my $30 tube !!!!

Good luck....
