My favorite mascaras!

items Not to brag, but people constantly stop me to compliment my eyelashes, usually asking where I got my eyelash extensions done. Funnily enough, tho, I've never had lash extensions and rely solely on the best mascaras to give me length, volume, and sepa... And I'll be the first to admit, too, that mascara is extremely personal (like foundation and nude lipstick), which is why I entirely recommend shopping for a formula that'll meet your specific needs and lash goals. Hence the reason for this list: Th...
Maybelline's Sky High Mascara is kind of an overachiever. It uses tiny bamboo fibers to add a ton of length and volume to teeny-tiny lashes and it has a slim, flexible brush with a tapered tip that makes application quick, easy, and mess-free. Every ...
Blackest Black Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara - Maybelline
My broke college self could really only afford this mascara, but it wasn't a prob because it's legit so good. Even now, when I have a drawer filled with expensive mascaras, I often reach for this formula, because it's so reliable. It makes my lashes ...
Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara - Ulta Beauty
This drugstore mascara from Covergirl is perfect. The curved brush cups my lashes, which lightly curls them while building volume and length. But i notes the best part is that she can seriously layer the formula, wriggling it on over and over without...
CoverGirl - Very Black Clump Crusher Extensions Mascara
If you're looking for a mascara that lifts, lengthens, holds a curl, and separates your lashes, this is your MVP. The dual-sided wand has staggered bristles on one side to help you really load up your lashes, along with long, comb-like teeth on the o...
ILIA Limitless Lash Mascara - Non-Toxic
I truly cannot stop raving about this mascara to every single person I meet. If you compliment my lashes, odds are, I'm gonna go on a whole diatribe about how this is the reason and why everyone needs it. So, it's no wonder it's totally blown up on T...
Benefit Fan Fest Fanning Mascara 0.3oz
Yup, you can make my lashes stronger and healthier with mascara. This formula combines an ultra-black, lengthening, and thickening mascara with a slew of delicious, strengthening peptides that help condition my lashes with regular use, making them so...
Grande Cosmetics MASCARA Conditioning
I thought I'd hate having to layer on two steps just to get long lashes, but I actually look forward to swiping this on. The primer is loaded with conditioning panthenol and ceramides to help moisturize my lashes and keep 'em strong and healthy. Then...
L'Oréal Double Extend Beauty Tubes Lengthening Mascara
My lashes are extremely fine and thin, meaning they've gotta be curled to look even remotely good generally. But turns out, with this mascara, I can skip a lash curler altogether. The formula uses a polymer that's often used in curly hair products th...
Tower 28 MakeWaves Volumizing Mascara
I love a bougie beauty product as much as the next editor, but drugstore mascaras are where it's at, y'all. And I'd never guess this formula from E.l.f. was less than $10. It curls and defines my lashes for a soft, natural look, but it legit doesn't ...
e.l.f. Lash 'N Roll Curling Mascara
The beauty of this mascara is that you can layer it on and get absolutely no clumps (re: "MAC stack"). I love a dramatic, bold lash look, so I layer on three or four coats to get max volume and length. But on days when I want to be more ~demure~, I s...
MAC - Black, Mega Brush Macstack Mascara Superstack
Listen, I get it: Not everyone wants XXL lashes. I also have days when I want to be a natural, ~clean girl~, and on those occasions, I'm always swiping on this Ami Colé mascara. The bright-orange tube isn't the only stunning part of this product—it d...
Ami Colé Lash-Amplifying Volumizing & Lengthening Mascara
As much as I love a bold fake-eyelashes look, I also sometimes like to keep things more natural, and on those days, I reach for this ColourPop brown mascara. It's in a stunning chocolate brown shade that looks good on every single eye color, and the ...
Black Act Natural Lash Defining Mascara - ColourPop
FYI: Tubing mascaras wrap each lash in tube-like polymers to create extra thickness and length that still looks super natural. It sounds strange, but trust me when I say it works so well and honestly holds up better than my traditional mascaras. Wrig...
tarte tartelette tubing mascara - Black
Listen, this mascara is probs the only thing I'll ever be able to afford from Chanel, and I'm not mad about it. The wand is thick and dense with bristles, so you can seriously work the formula into your lashes for a volumized, falsies-level finish. Y...
Chanel Le Volume De Chanel Mascara - Noir
Want super voluminous lashes without the clumps? Enter: The Nars Climax Mascara. This full, dense brush will deposit a ton of pigment for ultra volume, yet its tightly packed bristles help comb out clumps before they happen. Plus, the formulation is ...
NARS Climax Mascara - Explicit Black 0.21 oz
This mascara went viral years ago for how long it made people's lashes, and I somehow evaded the hype... until recently when I finally gave in. Truly, I get why it's called lash extensions in a tube. When I layer this on my lashes, it's like they dou... However, be aware this doesn't create a ton of volume. So if you prefer thick, voluminous, heavy-looking lashes, you prob won't like this. Instead, this makes my lashes practically touch my eyebrows, separating and defining each one.
Thrive Liquid Lash Extension Mascara
If you hate how mascaras leave your lashes feeling stiff and straw-like, then pls try this volumizing and thickening formula from Rare Beauty. It's mixed with a touch of castor oil to keep your lashes feeling soft and strong (not the usual crunchy an...
Rare Beauty Perfect Strokes Universal
Not only is this mascara’s formula filled with moisturizing CBD oil, but it also has little bb fibers that legit lock onto your lashes, leaving you with volume, length, and curl. Plus, the wand has teeny-tiny bristles at the top, perfect for reaching...
MILK MAKEUP KUSH High Volumizing Mascara - Sephora
Struggle with sparse lashes? This cult-favorite formula has an hourglass-shaped wand that separates and curls each lash, giving even the sparsest of lashes extra volume and length. The result? An intense finish for a doe-eyed look. But the best part ...
Too Faced Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara
Major lashes, thanks to the wand's big, curved brush with varying-sized bristles. The formula is buildable too, so I can start with run-of-the-mill dramatic lashes, then slowly layer it up to falsies vibes. Yes, it can smudge a lil bit and be a tad m...
BAKEUP: Mascara & Eyeliner
This mascara from Benefit won us over almost immediately. It does (pretty much) everything you’d want a mascara to do: lift, separate, volumize, and add a hint of length. The curved brush makes it easy to grip each lash from the root, and the bristle...
Benefit Cosmetics Fan Fest Fanning & Volumizing Mascara
Finding a volumizing mascara that doesn’t weigh your lashes down isn’t easy, but this one manages both. The bristles lift and curl your lashes before coating them in the buildable formula that offers a winning combination of volume and length. The vo...
Iris&Romeo Lash Up Peptide Volumizing, Curling ...
Curling mascaras are great for people with straight lashes or those who find that mascara weighs their lashes down, making them droop. The firm wand is curved, like the shape of an eye, so it does a nice job of gripping the lashes and lifting them as...
Dior Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara
It’s the same formula as the OG Better Than Sex Mascara but in a rich, chocolate brown shade. One to two coats of this stuff adds major volume and a bit of length and curl to the lashes, creating a gorgeous false-lash effect. Unlike many brown mascar...
