items Mascaras that will make your eyes stand out on a budget
The highest praise I can give a product is bringing it on a trip—because when that's the only option I have, it'd better do its job. And on a recent trip, the only mascara I stashed in my bag was L'Oreal Panorama. And I genuinely enjoyed every single...
L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Panorama Mascara
Can't believe in the year 2024 there is a mascara that still clocks in at less than $5 a tube. Even more shocking? It's a Cosmo-editor fave for length and volume. Just look at associate editor Jasmine Hyman's lashes above—they look long and full, but...
lash princess false lash mascara
This was the very-first tubing mascara I swiped across my eyes, and it basically made me a convert for life. (And by the looks of the reviews, I'm not the only one!) Consider it the anti-thesis to panda eyes. Basically, it coats my lashes in tube-lik...
L'Oreal Paris Double Extend Tubing Mascara
My usual homeostasis is the meme of the little girl with glitter all over her eyes who looks like she just waltzed off the Euphoria set. But! But! But! Some days, I do prefer to look more ~au naturel~, and those are the days I reach for Sky High Masc...
Lash Sensational Sky High® Washable Mascara Makeup
Like your lashes to look natural and soft? Go for this tubing mascara, which helps A) separate every lash and B) coat them with this lightweight formula. It's basically the opposite of clumpy, according to Scibelli. "This one not only gives a dramati...
Lash XTNDR Mascara
I've yet to use a waterproof mascara that holds up as well as this O.G. Covergirl Lash Blast. It's a mainstay in my summer makeup bag every year (has been since–legit—2010). I can swipe it on, wait 10 minutes, then legit jump in a pool. My mascara wi...
Lash Blast Volume Waterproof Mascara
In high school, I used to draw a teeny-tiny wing with brow pencil on the outer corner of my eyes, as if my lashes were just so fluffy and heavy that they created a shadow. All of this to tell you: I like 'em as gigantic as humanly possible. And of ev...
L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara
I just started testing this mascara, but I've already raved about it to the dozens of people who've complimented my eyelashes while wearing it. I have decently long eyelashes naturally, so mascara really just gives 'em the volume I lack. All to say: ...
Eye Enhancer 3D Mascara
ATTN: This is Cosmo cover star Madelyn Cline's favorite mascara. (I would know; I asked her.) And if you've ever seen her lashes, they look extra af. Since I've tested this myself, I see how, as this mascara offers up some serious length and volume w...
So Fierce Big Bad Lash Mascara
The first thing I noticed as I swiped this tubing mascara on my lashes was how rich the black color was. But as I kept building up the liquid-y formula, I saw just how lengthened and defined it made them look, without the spider-y, tarantula-esque vi...
Highly Rated Lash Extensions Mascara
If you're all about clean beauty products, you've probably got a stash of $$$ makeup. However, Pacifica is my go-to clean drugstore makeup brand, and this mascara performs just as well as the spensy options I've tried at Sephora. It's filled with sof...
Vegan Collagen Fluffy Lash Mascara - Pacifica
The chunky, nylon brush of this mascara really gets into your lashes at the root and lifts them up, so they appear longer and fuller from the base of your lashes. FWIW, one of my friend's has the best eyelashes I've ever seen; they legit touch her ey...
