The perfect mascara, the best mascara, the mascara that will provide you with the most fantastic lashes; it’s like finding the Holy Grail in the make-up world.

All we can hope to accomplish is finding the mascara that works best for us without being ripped off. And I think that I have found one that ticks all the boxes

The mascara I use is the Collection 2000 Multiplier. I always use eyelash curlers and then use Estee Launder’s Lash Primer and top off with Collection 2000 Multiplier mascara.

I have wondered about other mascaras in the range and so recently I bought the Colour Lash All Day Mascara by Collection 2000.( Oh Ok I will admit it, it was a bit of a mistake. I was looking for an alternative lash primer to the Estee Lauder version and bought this new mascara thinking it was a Collection 2000 primer.)

On trying the Colour Lash All Day Mascara, I have to say that this product was a bit of a let down. The only way that I could recover the situation was to use Maybelline Colossal Volume Express Mascara and add some of it to my lashes before they dried. I don’t really like this particular Maybelline mascara. They used to do a perfect formulation a few years back, but it appeared they changed the product range, yet again, and so that mascara was discarded from my make- up kit. So the Colossal Volume Express Mascara was just one I happened to have lying around.

I have to conclude that the perfect mascara is Collection 2000 All Day Multiplier. It performs well with and without lash primer. But for perfect results get the Estee lash primer. At the moment of writing the Estee lash primer is £18.00 but it is worth every penny in results when used with a great mascara. The collection 2000 Lash Multiplier is around the four pounds mark, but I think it is far better than many premium brands, so to me this is the perfect mascara.
