Say Goodbye to Flaky Mascara: Top Brands for Contact Lens Wearers

[JAE]

Anyone have a good brand of mascara to recommend? I need something that won't flake into my contacts. I saw a commercial for Revlon Luminous, but I can't find it at the store. Until I can find it I need something. Please help.

I wear contacts and have used Clinique for years. I have switched to Mary Kay now b/c I have a cousin selling. My eyes have always been sensitive to mascara and eye liner and I have had no problems with either one of these. If I ever have to use other brands, I use only Cover girl products.

I love Arbonne's mascara. No flaking for me.

The only thing I have ever been able to use that really stays on ALL DAY is Marathon Mascara from Cover Girl......I think I have tried everything out there - including top of the line very expensive mascaras, and I always go back to Marathon.

I use the new maybaline that comes in a bright neon lime green tube. I wear contacts and love it. I get up at 5 am and go to bed at 10 pm and it stays on all day. Plus it is like only $5. Maybaline's discovery lash is really good too it has a very small brush to get all the little hairs.

I have tried Mary Kay and Arbonne and for the price it works the same at the Maybaline so I switched back.

I can't use mascara. I never have. My eyes are always itchy. I would just smear it all over myself-LOL!

I wear contacts and I use Arbonne.

I use Loreal Le Grand Curl Waterproof

Waterproof Loreal Lash Out. I've used it for YEARS. I'm a crier and it's NEVER smeared, smudged, or flaked. Well, unless I don't take it off, go to sleep, and then look in the mirror the next morning.

I use the Mary Kay Ultimate or waterproof and don't have a problem with either. I have contacts and very dry eyes so I have to put drops in more than once a day and the store brands, Avon, and others just didn't seem to stay on for me. The MK does. :balloon:

The Maybeline in the pink and green tube...i've used it for years! I've tried the expensive stuff and it all seems just the same to me!

Lancome Definicils and Maybelline Lash Discovery(with the little brush) are my favorites, but I recently tried Rimmel and it's pretty good too!!

I have contacts, and I love Lancome mascaras. Wont use anything else.
