What is the best mascara? (luxury)

I use benefit mascara, both bad gal and they're real. But I was thinking of getting Lancôme hypnose or do you think YSL would be better? Or is there one better than those?

I use Lancome Hypnose Drama and I love it. It's one of the few I've ever repurchased. It's expensive at about €27, but the last few times I've bought it (in Debenhams) the gift set (mascara and eyeliner) worked out cheaper than buying the mascara on its own. The eyeliner (pencil) is fantastic too. It lasts ages. I've been using my current one everyday (since Christmas) and still have about a third of it left.

ysl false lash effect is amazing, i always go back to it. it does dry out quicker than other mascaras though. its about 30 euros but 24 in the airport if anyone you know is going away. i also like fairy drops scandal queen mascara but i got in in sephora in the states not sure if anyone sells it in ireland.

Diorshow extase is fab as it Diorsho iconic. I really love extase for a false lash effect.

Thanks everyone! I'll have to go into debenhams someday and check out all these mascaras!

The only high end mascara I really love and find different from drugstore options is Diorshow. But I'm planning to use the Diorshow wand with a drugstore mascara as the wand is what makes HE mascaras "better" in essence.

+1 for Dior Show Extase, love the big brush.

Lancome Hypnose Drama is easily the best I've tried.

Was They're Real not good? Have read so much about it but have never bought it!

They're real is good, but it never gave me the wow factor. My lashes are already very long so perhaps I just didn't see lengthening power it supposedly has. I would like something to give my lashes more volume. Theyre real made my lashes look a little spidery. It is a good formula though, and I am happy with it, I'm just not sure it's the ultimate mascara that I would purchase again.

Nothing beats Max Factor Masterpiece for me - but I have recently tried Avon mascara (yellow tube, can't remember the name) and it's surprisingly good.

Mascara is one of those things that I have found disappointing at the high-end. Mid-range like Max Factor seems to deliver better.

Here is photo comparison of me without mascara and with Benefit They're Real.

I think it makes my lashes spidery too and I have a lot of eyelashes.. I reckon I'm ****e at putting it on but, in your photos your eyelashes look fabulous with it on them

I wonder is it due to shape - I always manage to get it clumpy and they stick together, even with that brush.
