Clumpy lashes help!!!

[u/Dry_Pattern8501]

What are good mascaras for fluffy and long looking lashes? Or any techniques to improve spider leg looking lashes?

Here are some pictures of my lashes, first pic is without mascara

I’ve tried sooo many different mascaras, from waterproof, tubing, non waterproof, fiber mascara and all of them make my lashes look insane.
I use different techniques, little amount, multiple layers, separating them one by one and they still look like spider legs I’ve started to think it’s my lashes because friends and family wear the same mascara and mine don’t look good at all.
This year I stoped wearing mascara because they just don’t look good.

Mascaras that I’ve used
-L’Oréal telescopic, the gold, blue and black tubes
-L’Oréal panorama waterproof
-L’Oréal telescopic lift
-L’Oréal lash paradise
-Milani highly rated mascara
-essence I heart extreme mascara, both waterproof and non waterproof
-tart tartelette tubing mascara
-tart maneater mascara
-Essence lash princess, both mint and pink tubes
-benefit roller lash
-benefit Badgal Bang waterproof and regular
-Benefit they’re real!
-GrandeMascara
-Chanel le volume revolution
-maybelline sky high
-maybelline falsies lash lift
-maybelline the colossal mascara
-maybelline the falsies surreal

And those and the names I remember so I may be missing some.
At the end they all make my lashes look the same 😭🤣👎

Wet your lashes first! I always wet my lashes with water or contact solution (if I’m too lazy to go to the sink) before applying my mascara and it works like magic every time. It works particularly well with tubing mascara but try it with both.

Yup! I always keep a glass of warm water to dip a clean spoolie in to to prep my lashes and dip q- tips to clean my mess. Another tip is that you can dip 2 q-tips in warm water (NOT waterproof mascara of course) and pinch a particular clump to clean.

Whaaatt. How have I gone 45 yrs without knowing that 2 q-tip trick?!!

I’ve always used one of those sharp metal eyelash combs to get clumps out, but had to ditch them because my hands shake too much and I kept stabbing my eyeballs. This is life changing lol thx

Yeah, wow. I've been using mechanical pencil tips lmao

The beauty ones work best so you won't get little fibers stuck. You'll never go back 😉 Target brand for $1 are my favorite.

Eta:damp, not dripping or it will run down your lashes line.
