Makeup 101: The Best Mascaras Around
[Make-up is wonderful, but it can also be confusing. There are so many shades and colors and sheens and reasons to wear it that a girl can get completely lost attempting to find what fits her face best. What’s the best blush color for a redhead? How do you really put on lip-liner? Is there such a thing as too much eyeshadow?
In this weekly series, actress / model and fabulous CC blogger, Jen, will be using her make-up know how to teach us all how to look flawless in class, out at a party, or grabbing coffee with that cutie from Psych 101.]
Everyone is always talking about long, luxurious lashes, but how do we get em without getting clumps? And do we really have to spend $40 on a tube of mascara to get that sexy lash we covet? This week Jen gives her expert advice on the best mascaras on the market (in all price ranges) that are sure to get you lookin’ like a Cover Girl.

I have worked at a Clinique makeup counter for a couple of years now, and am the kind of girl who absolutely cannot go out without mascara. I've tried everything from expensive to inexpensive, and I have to say, cheaper mascara is better. Formulas are really different, and why pay $25 bucks when you can pay $6 and if you don't like it, you'll feel much less guilty letting it sit unused in your makeup bag. Clinique's High Impact, Maybelline Great Lash, and the Lancome mascara (the ones I'm familiar with) are what I'd call "high maintainance mascaras". They can give thick, dark, plush lashes, if done right, but for a girl who is always late or rushing off to work or class- Covergirl has mascaras to swear by. I love the new Lash Blast, or the kind in the red tube (I think it's called Great Lash??). They offer one in the red tube with a curved brush- use it! It will give you that much more lift. The Covergirl formulas dry faster when applying, and layer nicely, without flaking.
Also- GIRLS! STOP USING WATERPROOF MASCARA! If you're using it as a daily staple, stay away. It dries out your lashes and makes them brittle. Use it as little as possible, and if you must, use a primer/conditioner underneath to protect your lashes.
Good luck ladies!

The red tube Covergirl mascara is "Volume Exact" and "Lash Blast" is VERRRRY VERRRRRRY good. Also, a new fave of mine is Maybelline "The Colossal Volum' (no "e" in it on purpose!) Express" in Glam Black; it has collagen and is the $6 answer to DiorShow mascara

so yeah, i have always been a huge believe in clinque mascara! i never used anything… that is until i had to start paying for this stuff myself
so i found "Rimmel" its in a black & pink tube with of course a crown on the top
its the BOMB diggity and it works and seperates my lashes better than clinque and its not messy

I have heard from MANY beauticians that EYELASHES never grow back

I have super long eyelashes to begin with and im always looking for non clumping mascaras because the "spider eye" look can happen really easily for me. So, I found that the new Colossal Volum Express is the best i've tried.Almay Volumisant mascara however, is not the choice for me. It clumps too easily and will crumble by the end of the day.

So, I have average-to-long, not too thick eyelashes, and have had quite a struggle finding mascaras that produce the super thick but not clumped look that I love. Over the years I've tried dozens.
I HATED the new Colossal Volum Express that everyone apparently loves, because it really didn't create any more 'volum' for me than Great Lash.
I LOVE the Volume Express in the red tube. Always have.
Lash Blast is okay, and is definitely a cheap way to get pseudo-okay big lashes. But it's not the best.
My favorite drugstore mascara is Revlon Lash Architect, with the curved brush. It comes in a silver tube. It can get a little clumpy if it's getting old or you have too much on the brush, but if you watch out for those things it's absolutely amazing. I only need one coat to get the thick bold lashes that I want.
The only 'expensive' mascaras I've ever tried were Benefit Bad Gal Lash, which is just okay, and a Guerlain mascara in a thick black tube that I actually loved, but don't want to spend $27 on.
Hope this helps!
