I also have thick but short lashes. In holiday sample bags, I received two sample sizes of Lancome Monsieur Big mascara, and it's awesome. I think it's technically a thickening, but I find it really lengthens.
I find the clumpy mascara is a bigger problem with full size tubes versus half size/sample size tubes. I haven't bought Monsieur Big yet, but I have figured out there's a half-size at Ulta and Sephora, so I'll buy that when I actually need to replace my samples.
I find that the Lancome Monseuer Big mascara is clumpy. I have a full sized tube. I bought it because of the good reviews and am really disappointed. Maybe I got a bad tube.
My favorite mascara is Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye. It never clumps, doesn't have an oversized brush and does a good job of building length. It's not super dramatic, but it's good for every day. It's one that I always go back to. I don't know why I ever stray from it!
I always come back to benefit’s They’re Real mascara.
I also have been trying monsieur big (sample) and really like it. I’m planning on buying the full size when it’s time to buy a new tube. I hope it doesn’t change the final appearance.
I also have on and off been using a lash serum (the one sold at Costco) and that has made a huge difference in the length of my lashes.
I hate hate hate They're Real. The sample size was awesome. Ulta had a full size tube for the holidays for $15. I have tried it a few times and can't stand it each time.

Now I have to see which of these is actually available in the UK - sometimes they are not even if we have the brand and just start trying. I'll probably go from least expensive upwards.

One of my closest friends in London is having part of her birthday celebrations at a Bobbi Brown counter - I'll try this then.

That sounds like a fun way to celebrate a birthday!

mortomo, ESF,I also have the large tube of the Lancome and I'm bummed because it's totally clumpy. I tried to blot the wand with a tissue and even still ugh!
I have a mini size of the MUFE Smoky extravagant mascara and wow! It adds so much length. I love it. Considering getting the full size once I work through my mascara stash.
I have tried so many expensive and non expensive brands. I am really digging Maybelliene Lash Sensational Full Fan effect. It gives my lashes length and girth (lol) and stays all day.
