Battle Mascara!  I'm on a quest to find the perfect mascara that will deal with length, volume, curl, and smudginess.
Here are some of my pictures.  The lighting isn't the very best, so I apologize in advance.  I took the pictures after a long work day just to have pictures.  My opinions expressed in my cloud bubble battle were formed over time.  Oh, maybe this is important: I usually just put 1 coat of mascara on and didn't feel like deviating from the norm for these pictures.
LANCOME
|  | 
| Doesn't smudge, but that's about it. | 
|  | 
| Already lost a lot of the curl | 
|  | 
| Lashes don't seem lengthened | 
|  | 
| Lancome mascara looks knobby on my lashes | 
NYX
|  | 
| Volumizes and lengthens a little, doesn't smudge, but loses curl. | 
|  | 
| One coat, lashes don't look super impressive. | 
|  | 
| Lost 60% of curl. | 
|  | 
| Curled + mascara vs uncurled..... big difference?  I can't tell | 
I suppose for reference, here are some pictures of my lashes without mascara:
|  | 
| Uncurled lashes | 
|  | 
| Opening eyes really wide after curling | 
|  | 
| Curled lashes, opening my eyes like normal |
