I have been using Maybelline since high school. All my other makeup is from Blue Mercury.

Estée Lauder’s Little black primer

Technically it is a primer, but can worn alone. It is a multitasker. Doesn’t smudge, flake, or rub off.

1) Wear alone for great length and darkening. It is like a lash stain. Perfect for a natural day time look

2) Wear under another mascara for added volume

3) Wear as a top coat over another mascara to seal it and prevent smudging, flakes, running.

I LOVE it and wear it alone 99% of time. I have issues with mascara always smudging under my eyes, even the kinds that don’t on most people- maybe my eyelids are oily. But this doesn’t budge at all.

Any great mascara for length?

I used to use Lancôme religiously like you OP, but several years ago I tried Buxom for whatever reason and will never go back. No flakes, nice volume and length. Looks like it’s on sale at Ulta at the moment. Hope this helps!

+1 I don't wear mascara a lot but when I do it's this. No clumping, defines and lengthens, it's great.

I really like Benefit mascaras - I used to use Roller Lash, but lately I have been using Maybelline Full and Soft.

I agree, I bought it because so many people recommended it and it was so awful that I returned it.

I love thrive but its pricey. The dupe for it is l'oreal double extend so avoid that too if you hate it.

I have major issues with smudging/flaking and Kevyn Aucoin's The Volume Mascara stays on with no issues for me.

L’Oréal Voluminous is my gold standard. I always go back to the OG

For length, L’Oréal Telescopic. Generally, L’Oréal Voluminous has been my go to for years. But I also tend to layer mascaras.

Elizabeth Mott It's So Big

I have deep set eyes and this is the only kind I've tried that lengthens without smudging or flaking.
