clumpy mascara nastiness

[loulou06]

i cannot for the life of me find a mascara that doesnt clump all over the place as soon as i put it on. i am curently using rimmel volume express and its pretty awful and its only a week old. does anybody know of a mascara that doesnt clump up and costs ten punds or under. please save me from my spider eyes!

I quite like Maxfactor Masterpiece.. although I'm an admitted make up snob and generally only use Clinique.. their Long Pretty Lashes mascara is amazing if you're willing to splash out a bit.

In M&S they do a mascara thats got a very fine brush I get this for my friend who is not very good with makeup & has quite thin fine eyelashes. I am using a loreal one that has a plastic brush (gold wand) has been ok but now its getting near the end it going cloggy. Best thing to do is go round the make up sections at like House of Fraser & get the girls to put dif ones on you till you find the one you like. You mey even get some freebies from them

I use Rimmel Magnif'eyes Mascara. It's �6.99 in Boots and doesn't clump! I always brush over my mascara with a clear mascara just to make sure it's even.

hi lou lou
just a tip more than any thing, rather than splashing out again.
i was told at college to not pump the brush in and out to load it up with mascara, as this will dry the mascara from inside the tube as it is pushing air in but just to pull it out and give your lashes one long sweep, do the other eye with the same load, then wait for lashes to 'dry' and replace the brush and repeat again if you need to.
i find it works and that the plastic new style brushes are brilliant for this too i haven't bought a new mascara for about 6 months and it is still fine :-) x

Really happy with Max Factor Lash Lift. Doesn't clump and gives a really good effect. Also plenty of it on Ebay.... Around �7 I think in the shops.
