"What is your favorite mascara?" I get asked this question more than any other.

I am a contact-lens wearer, so I need mascara that won't flake or smudge.  I also want something that will come off easily and wear well.  Just like most women, I'm equally obsessed with having more length and volume. Hands-down, the mascaras that deliver every time are CoverGirl's LashBlast and Christian Dior's DiorShow.
