what drugstore mascaras give a result like this? (waterproof or tubing preferred)

The first pic is super clumpy, but I get the gist! Try the Maybelline colossal bubble?

Best mascara you've *ever* used?

Honestly? Maybelline Volum Express The Colossal mascara in the yellow tube. Haha Beats out my Dior, YSL, any Lancome, Too Faced, etc. Close second might be the tubing one from Hourglass.

Which of these drugstore mascaras are best?

I used maybelline colossal for years until sky high came out now I use that all the time. I really don’t think you can go wrong with a maybelline mascara. I tried essence once but wasn’t impressed.

foundation: KVD Good Apple Serum foundation in 002 (but since this is discontinued: Pat McGrath in L1 is my only current closeish match, perhaps tirtir red cushion foundation in shell I have earmarked as replacement) concealer: Maybelline age rewind in 95 fair porcelain or none blush: Hourglass Mood

What’s your HOLY GRAIL mascara?!

L’Oréal tubing mascara is great. It used to be all I used. I now use a crazy amount of mascara.

I’ve had people ask about my false eyelashes because
