What kind of look are you going for? Natural, big lashes, etc?
Urban Decay Troublemaker is my go to for meets, apparently sex proof (I've had no issues). I like Smashbox Full Exposure as a more natural but buildable mascara.
Too Faced Better than Sex and Lancome Monsieur Big are highly rated but no personal experience. |

"You could consider having your eyelashes coloured/dyed?
Haven't tried it myself so can't recommend it, just know it exists!

I dye my eyelashes every 6 weeks |

"Dunno but I’ve got enamel paint on my hand which won’t come off.
Does it come with a brush small enough?"
I’ve tried a sponge then a rough greeny thing from the kitchen and will soon be on to sandpaper. |

Big lashes. This is for the very important occasion that I've been making the odd query about. I'm not great at applying false lashes. I'll research the ones you've recommended, thanks |

Amputation is the only answer if you can't wait for it to wear off. |

Not water proof as that is a bastard to get off with normal make up removal;
But great lashes start with Loreal paradise primer extactic, followed up with Loreal Voluminous extra black, brilliant coverage, great brush and even distribution, highly recommend  |

Troublemaker gives me big lashes but mine are naturally black and full. Monsieur Big is supposed to be quite dramatic according to what I've read. Skip the Smashbox for your purposes. |

No7 Extreme Length waterproof mascara is fab and affordable.
I have tried so many mascaras and my favourite is the Too Faced Better Than Sex one but it's not waterproof and the waterproof one isn't meant to be as good. If waterproof isn't esential I'd highly recommend trying it! It adds so much length and it's an intense black colour and there's no clumps. |

I wear waterproof all the time, it smudges otherwise and it means I don't have to take it off when I go swimming  |

Waterproof is essential. I smudge it so easily |

Also considering I suffer from MAJOR dry eye symptoms, I still don't need a water proof mascara, so might be worth trying some of the new one's and you might be surprised |

I might give them a go after this event. |

Check this out, too.
More mature people tend towards hooded lids so it might be quite useful for you. (in terms of a colour to add, usually you go on the opposite side of the colour wheel to your eye colour to make them pop)

My eyes are my most striking feature so I pay attention to my technique.
I think this one would help enhance the eyes (given my colouring I'd be a bit intimidated by black, I tend to reach for dark brown or grey) |

Two faced better than sex is really good but smudges easily
Big gal bang from benefit has staying power. I have a freebie miniature and took it on holiday with me and it stayed put in the pool |

"Have a look at a lash lift, naturally curls your lashes and they tint them too, only need to add mascara if you want a really dramatic look "
Thanks. I don't know if i could tolerate that. I'm not keen on people touching my eyes. I've had my lashes tinted but a lift might be a step too far  |

"I would recommend going to a few makeup counters and get them to try the mascaras on you so you can see what you like "
I want to go and get a foundation match next week, I might combine that with trying mascara. |
