The Mascaras
These mascaras vary in wand type and flexibility, but they all give that feathery, volumized, and lengthened look. Pick your posion - I bounce between all of them.
This mascara has a skinny but flexible wand. It's a good one for the lower lashes but you can use it for a full eye look. It's more of a classic drugstore mascara that gives you that clumpy look to achieve the volume but in a good way.
Telescopic Intense Lash Length Original Mascara
While the black is classic, this one comes in a lot of fun colors. I used up an entire tube of burgundy and it's so pretty! I also swear by the primer.
Voluminous Original Washable Mascara - L'Oréal Paris
Everything that you've heard about this mascara is true. Somehow it's the cheapest and best one on the market. Pure magic. Try the other formulas too!
Lash Princess False Lash Mascara
An hourglass-shaped wand is great for volume and grabbing every lash. This one is a high-end dupe.
Voluminous Lash Paradise Washable Mascara
Still one of my favorites and I wore it throughout college. It has a wet formula that hits it's prime about 1-2 weeks after you open it.
Maybelline Lash Sensational Washable Mascara
This one has a skinnier and flexible tapered wand to grab every lash. I like the primer from this line and I will wear it with this mascara specifically.
Lash Sensational Sky High® Washable Mascara
This one gives good length with volume that is not overdone. It's tubing so be sure to layer while it's still wet.
Lash XTNDR Mascara
It's not just pretty packing! This is an OG fave for length and volume.
L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Panorama Mascara
Another great one from Maybelline. In some ways it's hard to really see a difference in wear between their various options.
Lash Sensational Firework Washable Mascara Makeup
An hourglass-shaped wand that competes with Loreal. She has big impact.
The Falsies Lash Lift® Washable Mascara Eye Makeup
A perpetual Amazon best seller for a reason. She will give you all the volume.
Lash Blast Volume Mascara
Price wise this is probably your cheapest yet effective hourglass wand. I started using this on repeat when it came into my life. A daily staple.
Big Mood Volumizing Mascara
My favorite brown mascara. I admit a bit lacking on the length and volume but it's a more natural pick.
Butter Bronzer Mascara
This one has a weird wand but it does work to grab all of your lashes. I will admit, the wand has rough or firm bristles and I don't enjoy the feeling, but it's the best mascara from wet n wild in their permanent line.
So Defined Volumizing + Defining Mascara
The Primers
If you're into a good mascara primer, these are my 2 affordable go-tos from the drugstore. I swear by the Loreal, panning many tubes over the years. I always buy the 2 pack. Maybelline looks nice with the matching mascara - but it's cool because it's...
I really don't think this primer makes much of a difference with other mascaras but I do use it with the lash sensational mascara.
Lash Sensational Sky High® Tinted Primer Mascara Makeup
This is the best primer! It helps to make any mascara look that much more better. I've gone through so many tubes of this. Buy the 2 pack!
