S/C/G: 165/132/125 or 115? not sure

Height: 5'4" (on a good-hair day!)

Default Mascara suggestions

Have used Cover Girl mascara (blue tube) for as long as I remember - I have allergies to most eye makeup, the hypo-brands were smeary, yet plain ol' CG worked just fine.

But last time I bought it, it seems they have put GLUE in the formula. It is IMPOSSIBLE to remove despite using remover pads, lotions, soap & water, etc.
I never wore mascara every day, but now not at all! It's too painful!

Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions on other (sensitive) brands?

Thanks.

Rimmel actually makes pretty good mascara and it is way cheaper than the other brands. I think the one I bought is like 2.75 at Target.

Right now I use One-by-one by Maybelline, but I've been wanting to try that new mega-plush kind they have. Has anyone else tried it?

L'oreal Voluminous Carbon Black is my holy grail mascara.

Have you tried using an oil-based remover to remove it? It might be a waterproof version, but even my stubborn non-waterproof version come off much more easily with a bit of oil.

I used the green and pink tube from maybelline forever, nothing else seemed to work as good. one day I randomly decided to try a new one and picked up rimmel "lash accelerator", it's in a yellow and black tube. it's awesome !!! it gives fantastic legnth and fullness and for me comes off easy, I dot know how it would be for sensitive eyes.

It claims to make your lashes grow and I have to say I believe it. Ive been usin it fr about 4 months now. My lashes use to be so light that I looked so bizarre without mascara even if I had eyeliner and stuff on - the other day while doing my makeup I actually forgot to put on my mascara because my lashes were so dark I thought I had already ! it took me hours to realize I hadn't. That's just and added bonus; it's really a fantastic mascera.

Mary Kay. They have the best oil-free eye makeup remover. I also use the I love Lashes black mascara.

If you don't mind spending a little extra money go to Sephora and get Dior Show or Benefit "They're Real!" mascara. The benefit one is the best mascara I've ever used and I've, literally, had three people talking to me ask what I use on my lashes because they looked so good. It's really awesome and not harsh.

Voluminous L'Oreal Volume Building Waterproof ... love the stuff! It does seem to dry out before others, but when it's good, it's great!

Benefit "They're Real!" is the BEST! When that mascara first came out, I had been using their "Bad Gal Lash" which is also amazing. As soon as I switched, a bunch of people started asking if my lashes were real. They don't look fake, but just long and thick.

I like the Dior and Benefit as well, but I don't think they'd help with the OP's problem. They are both pretty tough to get off. I currently use the Dior Blackout and LOVE it, but yeah, it's a b**** to remove! I use the Sephora eye make-up remover to get most of it off and just accept that I'm going to have some residual for about 2 days.
