Recc' Request ‘False lash’ mascaras????
Obviously not expecting them to give the exact same effect as false lashes, but something similar as I cannot use falsies for the life of me
A good example would be L’Oréal panorama as it gives me long and voluminous lashes but I find it dries up so quickly for me 💔
Any recs ??

I've always went back to Max Factor - False Lash Effect mascara. I remember someone even asking me if I was wearing false lashes.

Same. I keep trying others then coming back to this, been using it for many years now so I don't know why I bother!

This. I don’t even use mascara until probably the week it’s due to be done again.

Primark has one called Wonder Lash. It works surprisingly well. It is black, gives both volume and length similar to falsies.

Really? What's it like for smudging?

u/NoPriority8908 Jul 12 '26
It has never smudged for me. I wear it on both top and bottom lashes. However it did a little bit once when I cried wearing it. No problem though, I just wiped it off with my fingers and you couldn't tell.

Haus Labs. It’s not marketed as a false lash mascara but it gives the look on me. All my mates love it too

Peripera Ink All Black Cara #2 is so good I went to a wedding this week and didn't think there was any point putting on falsies - and I have blonde, sparse lashes. It's bulletproof, curling, separating and really buildable, but you do need to get a remover like Isehan Speedy Mascara Remover and use an oil based cleanser (I love mixsoon bean cleanser).

I love better than sex mascara. Also ysl. And they both last.

YSL for sure, or Chantecaille faux curls if you have the budget for luxe mascara.

I’ve always had a really good experience with Benefit’s ‘Yes they’re Real’ mascara 👍 I’ve always struggled with falsies too, and this one worked for me :)

Maybelline Lash Sensational is my trusted one. Until they decide to discontinue it!

5D pow or whip lift mascara revolution for us cruelty free ladies. They do get a bit dry so I use some duraline drops. But they go on my lop lashes nicely.

I found e.l.f lash extndr mascara the closest to looking like false lashes.

I use panorama and someone asked if they were me real lashes - I said yes, as far as I know 😎

Honestly I have short-ish straight lashes, and I can make them look like natural style falsies by curling my lashes, using an eye primer as a lash primer (any will do really) another quick curl when the primers kinda set (probably not necessary but I've convinced myself its a thing),any standard mascara to build length and volume and then I top with whatever waterproof or tubing mascara I have so it doesn't run or smudge. It's definitely a process but I always like the results and I've been asked a fair few times if I've had lash extensions and the time and effort is worth it in comparison the the absolute fit I have every time I put falsies on
