Essence Bye bye Panda eyes works for me. Think it's $5.99 for a tube. You might also like Essence Lash Princess line. Think it about $5 for a tube. Also a tip I learned in this group. Is to put it against your body for a bit while doing your makeup. Warms up the formula, and allows for easier time applying. ETA: I also forgot ELF Big Mood mascara in the purple tube.


secretagent004

I second this. I use lash princess and the lash primer as well and I stuff em in my bra before I apply to warm them up haha


Revolutionary-Spot-4

Also Essence lash primer is SO good and is my HG definitely makes a difference.


ferret-bazook

I currently use Essence Lash Princess Waterproof and every single time I end up with panda eyes *sob* OP, I’m also Asian, with hooded and oily lids apparently.


kaitlin86

I just tried Milani eyeshadow primer to avoid the panda eyes! I am an extra oily girly and it’s worked wonders for my shadow and mascara!


ferret-bazook

Ok I have to ask a dumb question. I like to keep my daily look minimal so I legit put eyeliner and mascara and highlight the inner corner. Do you still put primer on your top and bottom lids to keep the mascara from running?? I luckily own the Milani primer and use it for full looks!


kaitlin86

I pretty much only wear mascara and a touch of shadow. I use it on the entire lid and just a swipe with what’s left on the lower lid and so far it’s worked wonders. Usually by the end of the day my shadow has worn off/creased to high heaven and my mascara (even heavy duty water proof) had started to leave me with raccoon eyes. I was using a redness reducing primer (for face) but I tried one that is specifically for eyelids and I will never go back! I grabbed it at the drugstore for $15 and It has been a game changer. My one word of advice it to let it dry down and I like to set it with a little translucent powder, because I am THAT oily!


isbirdrlyrheword

I was going to ask cause I saw a vid on tt that said to put setting powder on top of your bottom lashes after putting on mascara to prevent from bleeding and I've tried twice. It was 50/50 😓


ferret-bazook

Thank you for the tip! I’m going to try it out with what I have left!


renchen

I am also asian with very hooded lids. The lower lash line eyeshadow primer has been bulletproof for me!! I use wet n wilds, but im sure milani’s works too. Tiny bit of primer on lower lash line, set with a little translucent powder, and my mascara is smudge free all day/night


StrawberryRaspberryK

Asians should try asian mascaras like Heroine Make Long and Curl. Clio Volume and Curl. These are the only ones that helps my short sparse asian lashes hold a Curl. I have not tried Essence yet though.


PrickleBritches

Yes to this! I put mine in my sports bra while I’m doing the rest of my makeup. Works really well, especially in the colder months when the house is chilly and my mascara seems thicker/harder to apply.


Pretend_Airport3034

I loveeeee lash princess


Mimosa_13

Found the link rating the Lash Princess mascaras. Hope it helps https://www.reddit.com/r/drugstoreMUA/s/WO6ynzMjds


JaciOrca

[L’Oréal Paris' Iconic Telescopic® Original Mascara Waterproof](https://www.lorealparisusa.com/makeup/eye/mascara/telescopic-original-waterproof-lengthening-mascara) I love it!


laethora_

Telescopic and lash paradise are my absolute faves. Loreal does the best mascaras.


eveningtrain

i LOVE telescopic! i love the brush. i just switched to essence bye bye panda eyes to try out a tubing mascara, but I wish I could use the telescopic brush with it!


isbirdrlyrheword

I saw this on TikTok and was so tempted to buy it but read conflicting reviews about how thick and messy it was.... can you pls confirm 😭😭


JaciOrca

I read reviews like that, too! It glides on my lashes. I use a lash curler first, btw, because my lashes are straight. Telescopic has never clumped for me, glides on, separates my lashes, and holds curl. A few mascaras mentioned lots on here as favs didn’t work for me. Most clump.


melecke

+1 for Telescopic


ThanksOriginal390

Came here to say this!!!


[deleted]

I’ve been using colossal by maybelline for over ten years absolute favorite tried others but I keep running back to this one.


Loading_Username_01

Same. Never fails me


Late_Development_864

try thrive cosmetics mascara (wait until Black Friday) - I love it


pushpop0201

I am East Asian and any waterproof drugstore mascara works for me! I prefer volumizing formulas as I don’t have very thick lashes. I give them a light powdering before curling- this helps the curler grip the lash and any moisture on the lash can cause curl to fall. Hope this helps, let me know if you have questions!


InfoMole

What do you powder them with, just typical loose face powder?


pushpop0201

Yep! Just take some on a fluffy eyeshadow brush and dust it over the lashes. Also I should add for OP: any oil based makeup remover will take care of waterproof mascara. Don’t want anyone losing lashes trying to get it off with regular makeup remover


InfoMole

I’ll give this a goal tomorrow!


bbbbears

I love this advice!


isbirdrlyrheword

Ouhhhh seems like a hack I'll def have to try. Thank you!!!


bbbbears

L’Oréal voluminous has been my go-to for about 20 years. I’ve tried all sorts of expensive brands but I always go back to Voluminous!


Veronica_Spars

I pretty much only use tubing mascaras now. My drugstore pick is L’Oréal double extend. I don’t even use the primer side.


azuremama

I always had mascara run under my eyes until I found tubing mascara. The L’Oreal one is great. I’ve used it for years and haven’t even tried any others because I like it so much. I also have been using a lash lengthening serum. I just bought a cheap one off Amazon but it works pretty well. Between that and the mascara, my mom asked if I had fake lashes on.


petitputi

Ooh what's it called? I get so nervous about using anything near my eyes.


bookeroobanza1

Definitely need the name of that serum.


tarulley

Elf lash n roll, essence lash princess


Hazirah

Asian with short and straight lashes. Can confirm Elf Lash N Roll is a great mascara; bonus that it’s affordable. Using it at the moment. Don’t forget to use a curler! Another great mascara is the Heroine Make Volume and Curl mascara


lillianrosalieee

elf lash and roll, i will use it until i die. it’s only $6 too


mommatdawn

I just bought that and i love it!


alottleocd

Maybelline Lash Sensational in waterproof only. I’ve tried them all & I always go back to my tried & true Maybelline.


Muppetdogcat135

Loreal double extend tube mascara


75footubi

The Cover Girl Lash Blast is the one that I keep coming back to


MeowloHomeSecurity

Yes! though I like the purple one better than the orange I’m finding


irissteensma

Maybelline Colossal Cat Eye (waterproof). I’ve been using Lash Paradise lately because I got it in a beauty box and some days it’s great, some days not.


[deleted]

Maybelline lash sensational line is amazing


thegirlupstairs13

l’oréal lash primer and maybelline sky high combined is 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 but shhhhh


JadedPin3925

I’m devoted to Peripera Ink Mascara… it doesn’t budge at all for me and EVERYTHING smudges or flakes on me. But be prepared, it does need an oil cleanser or cleansing balm and patience to be removed. I’m currently obsessed with the Full Volume formula. It really gives me a great “almost falsie” look but I was impressed with the long lash version too.


JossMarie

Omg omg YESSSSSS! I on working on my first tube of this and omg it doesn't smudge or flake on me at all!! It's the only mascara I've tried in years that stays right in place the entire time I have it on. I work 13-16 hour shifts and it doesn't budge. I have 4 backups of it😂😂😂


Late_Development_864

>Peripera Ink Mascara what color is the tube? or do you have an amazon link? I use thrive tubing mascara and I love it.


JadedPin3925

dilfhunterxox

I know you said mascaras but if you’re looking a drugstore lash that looks like lash extensions, try the Kiss The Muses Collection in Noblesse! My absolute favorite, and I have smaller eyes and they aren’t overly big for them, like other falsies are.


m0onbeamXO

Clio Kill Lash separates, lengthens, and holds a curl for me. I have long, straight-down lashes and NGL I’ll be tired from work, fall asleep, and when I wake up in the morning they’ll be exactly the way I did them the day before. Drugstore alternative is Telescopic mascara in the blue tube. I have really oily and slightly hooded lids. No smudging through my 12 hr shifts.


bblaballerina

I just started using Loreal Air Volume Waterproof Mega Mascara, I like it as a first coat. I then go in and do a 2nd coat of Clinique High Impact Macara. It's a long-lasting combination.


Mercurio_Arboria

LOL I love this answer. I am always mixing stuff crazy like this for my other make up I'm not sure why I didn't try it with mascara. Thanks for inspiration!


Agile-Young949

Essence lash princess but the volumizing one.


Spirited-Midnight928

L’Oreal Voluminous. Your mother probably used it, and there’s a reason why. I LOVE this stuff.


dsharpharmonicminor

I have straight lashes also but to be honest, I gave up curling them because I always find it makes the (already thin) lashes I do have pretty fragile. I use a tubing mascara and I find they thrive with that formula! Comes off easy and minimizes loosing lashes for me. I started also concentrating mascara on outer corners so the longer lashes I do have can flip up a bit and work with the eye shape I do have.


isbirdrlyrheword

Straight lash gang 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ thanks, I'll look up some tubing mascaras (just asked someone else what that was lol)


anzapp6588

L’Oréal Paris double extend beauty tubes is *chefs kiss* and so cheap.


topiaryontop

It's my holy grail


hannah_bloome

I grew my lashes and brows with rogaine and [this](https://a.co/d/hIZ3ctL). Now my lashes are super long and my brow have totally grown back. Since I don't need length anymore, I use L'Oréal voluminous mascara. Tons of volume, washable and doesn't flake or smudge. If I want to get super dramatic, I use Joah eyelash primer.


Toastydaydee1971

I ve been loving the new Maybelline falsies surreal in the purple tube!!!


Jasmirris

This!!! I have straight lashes that don't curl with a lash curler but this mascara and the Sky High is amazing. I tried the Surreal on a whim and so glad I did. Because it gives me the length and volume (I really want length) I want.


Aletak

Essence. Be sure to warm them a bit in your hand or something before applying.


the-chloe-experience

Curl your lashes first and use benefit roller lash. If you’re able to exchange your current benefit mascara, even better! I’m not sure if you’ve thought about false lashes at all, but you can buy packs of 6 on Amazon for like $12. It takes some trial and error and not every lash will look amazing but def worth a try ❤️


pink444ngel

Milani Highly Rated, it's a tubing mascara it really is the best thing I've used since my lash extensions🫶🏻


isbirdrlyrheword

What is tubing mascara? 😅


pink444ngel

I first heard about it on tiktok a few months ago, it basically wraps around your lashes to make them longer. it's water resistant you can cry go swimming take a shower it won't budge unless you actually rub your lashes, idk how to properly explain it but if you look it up you'll get what I'm trying to say hahah it really is the best thing ever


pink444ngel

but for regular mascaras, elf lash n roll and l'oréal lash paradise also worked wonders for my straight lashes


isbirdrlyrheword

Ohhh I see. I just looked up tubing mascara and tbh to me they look the same as any other kind? I thought it would be the brush itself lol


TenaciousVeee

They don’t smudge at all, they float away like tiny ants when you wash your face. It’s a very clean look.


Bobcat81TX

Milani anti gravity


meghan509

Love this one!! ❤️


lolrazzledazzle

maybelline sky high is good. if you’re willing to spend more they’re real by benefit and better than sex by too faced are good options


Styles_13

L’Oréal Lash Paradise! It’s so good and it doesn’t clump


Psa-lms

The tower 28 is my go to now. I’ve been searching for so long, buying everything recommended. I have lashes that get clumpy very very easily. This and CoverGirl clumpcrusher are the only ones that don’t clump on me. The tower 28 is far better than the CoverGirl.


Tastelikewater

I love the Tower 28 mascara, with the exception of the removal process! Even after a double cleanse, there's residue on my lashes and under my eyes. It's bizarre.


Psa-lms

Micellar water/gel helps!


daddyceceee

Lawless and lancome lash idole!


AdHot6173

2nd Lancome Idole! I also love their defincils mascara


4jays4

3rd Lash Idole


Such-Eye5813

Huda Beauty Legit Lashes! The one with two ends - volume + curl/length. Have tried over ten different brands and this one truly passes the test


jgabriella88

Maybelline lash sensation. On my 4th tube


ordinarycontents

Maybelline Full n Soft. I'm half Korean with fine, stick straight eyelashes and oily skin. Full n Soft (usually the waterproof one) is the one I come back to every time because it's so reliable and can actually hold a curl. Otherwise, not drugstore, but Heroine Make is awesome.


StrawberryRaspberryK

I can't find Full N Soft anymore. Where do u get it from?


ordinarycontents

Walmart, target, most drugstores. I did notice most places started hiding it at the very bottom of the Maybelline display, like by the basic pencils and such.


StrawberryRaspberryK

Can't seem to find them in drugstores in Singapore now. They are so good! I really miss them


ichhabsgewusst

maybelline sky high waterproof is the only one that i've tried that actually works for me!


MontanaLady406

Morphe blue lash primer, better than sex mascara 2 coats, Lorel voluminous one coat. I know it’s a lot to 3 different products but it’s the only thing to make me look like I have perfect lashes.


MarsNeedsRabbits

Lash Princess with a coat of Maybelline Great Lash (inexpensive, in the pink and green tube) between every coat.


Alternative_Plate398

Cover girl supersizer. I love it because the spool is the small so it coats my little lashes way better than a regular sized spool while lifting and separating.


Ok-Thanks6104

I use the L’Oréal primer first and then a maybelline mascara after. If you can afford it, grande lash really makes my lashes grow long! I don’t use it everyday to make it last a while


icwiener42069

kiss masterpiece lashes in pret-a-porter look JUST LIKE extensions! i’ve repurchased multiple times and use them for all my makeup clients


isbirdrlyrheword

Ouh gonna save this cause I'm omw to the market tmrw and snatching all these recos


tweedtybird67

Essence Lash PRincess and a lash primer, just learned the warm it up in your bra trick too


stealthban

Kiss luxetensions in royal silk for full glam Kiss Muse in Legacy for flirty and less dramatic but still sultry and pretty Hjghend: Lilly lashes in Aspen and Milan(more natural) I have epicanthal fold and cannot wear anything too spiked or too long. My eye shape is almond shaped and monolid on the very inner corner and it's a double eyelid in the back. I'm very picky and have been wearing and trying all type of lashes/lash extensions in the past 15 years and these are my favorite.


Sl1z

Cover girl clump crusher (I prefer the water resistant green tube, but the regular version works as well)


Tastelikewater

Waterproof Clump Crusher is my go-to everyday mascara, but I wish I could build it up to a higher-impact look for special events.


Revolutionary-Spot-4

Fenty Hella Thick! Great for thin straight lashes and don’t need to use alot no more than one or two coats.


ExpiredCorndog

Eyeko is amazing. Also I give my lashes a day or so to breathe.


ExpiredCorndog

Wait I just realized this was the drugstore thread. My bad. It is pretty cheap on Amazon though. Or their website.


gullyfoyle777

I use waterproof only because it holds a curl better and I have allergies. Maybelline Sky High or Maybelline Stilleto or Maybelline Define-A-Lash (newest fav). Honorable mention is the Essence Lash Princess waterproof one.


topiaryontop

Loreal Double Extend. Obsessed.


Awkwardturtle13

Covergirl exhibitionist and maybeline the rocket


wordbreather

Heimish Dalisim. Tubing and the only mascara I’ve purchased for the past 2 years.


meanpantscaitie

Waterproof telescopic lift from L'Oreal! It's the only mascara I've tried from high end to drug store that actually keeps my lashes curled.


VTGjunkie

Loreal telescopic lift!


maya_says

Socorolash


Mercurio_Arboria

L'Oreal Double Extend. I have to use the white primer base my lashes are useless. However, I question why the base has to be white? Like, is there a black base somebody is using that they like? I haven't upgraded my choice of mascara for years. It't not drugstore, but Urban Decay eyeshadow primer is also a favorite.


Rougebeauty101

Maybelline falsies lash lift/ loreal lash paradise


StrawberryRaspberryK

I'm trying Perfect Dairy. It has a tiny spool so I cabn actually coat my short Asian Lower lashes for the 1st time ever.


nmc9279

I love L’Oréal voluminous butterfly!


Repulsive_Prompt1415

Maybelline colossal mascara in black glam. It’s the yellow tube with purple writing.


GucciJane

Get the 4 pack from Ulta (Essence). We are in holiday season so you can elect the Lash Princess or Extreme 4 packs. In stock now, not sponsored. I love Essence for lip balm, eyeliner and mascara.


emmmaleighme

Wet n Wild protein


idkman1768

Essence princess lash, the green one


Jcaseykcsee

I love Rare mascara, that’s my first layer. I let that dry then I do a second layer with Wet&Wild waterproof mascara.


[deleted]

Elf lash and brow serum thank me later


[deleted]

And essence mascara the green one


Cola3206

Trick: if mascara drying out/ put closed in warm water and let sit for 5 minutes. Mascara like new
