Maybelline Great Lash Mascara
Why we love it: This classic drugstore mascara has been thickening lashes since the ‘70s with its signature, easy-to-handle narrow wand and clump-free formula that resists smudging but washes off in a cinch. Iconic status: completely deserved.
Maybelline Great Lash Mascara, prices starting at $4, Yahoo! Shopping.
Diorshow MascaraWhy we love it: The list of Hollywood makeup artists who swear by this pick might run longer than the credits after a movie. The XXL brush builds incredible volume while the formula’s silica powder boosts the diameter of individual lashes. Diorshow Mascara, $25, Yahoo! Shopping. |
Lancome Definicils High Definition MascaraWhy we love it: It’s worth buying stock in this beloved mascara—one is sold every three minutes. Select polymers coat each hair from root to tip, helping to lengthen and outline lashes, while grooved bristles ensure an even application every time. Lancôme Définicils High Definition Mascara, $25, lancome-usa.com. |
CoverGirl LashBlast Volume MascaraWhy we love it: Even if it weren’t neon orange and double wide, this favorite would still stand out. Flexible bristles conform to lashes for smooth application, and spherical wax particles act as “spacers” to push lashes into a perfect, plump fan. CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Mascara, prices starting at $8, Yahoo! Shopping. |
Benefit They're Real! MascaraWhy we love it: It’s pretty tough to unseat the brand’s beloved Bad Gal mascara but this new champ—which is currently the number-one selling prestige mascara—boosts a custom-domed tip to lift, define, and curl even the tiniest of fringe for a sculpted look that’s shockingly similar to false lashes. Benefit They’re Real! Mascara, $22, benefitcosmetics.com. |
Clinique Bottom Lash MascaraWhy we love it: This genius, micro-tiny wand is perfectly sized to coat your lower lashes and get into small spaces, like the inner and outer corners, for a wide-eye effect. Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara, $10, Yahoo! Shopping. |
L'Oreal Voluminous Volume Building MascaraWhy we love it: There have been numerous additions to the Voluminous line of mascaras, but the original is still the best for creating a feathery soft effect, thanks to the blend of nourishing vitamins and ceramides in the tube. L’Oreal Voluminous Volume Building Mascara, prices starting at $7, Yahoo! Shopping. |
NARS Larger Than Life Volumizing MascaraWhy we love it: This backstage staple is enhanced with conditioning vitamin E and macadamia nut oil to lend a glossy look while the honeycomb-shaped bristles on the square wand help separate out lashes for impressive definition. NARS Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara, $25, Yahoo! Shopping. |
Shu Uemura Ultimate Natural MascaraWhy we love it: The lightweight formula has the amazing ability to “hold” a curl on lashes (even the stick straight kind) for hours on end, and it’s extremely buildable, meaning you can layer on liberal amounts without any spidery clumps. Shu Uemura Ultimate Natural Mascara, $28, shuuemura-usa.com. |
Guerlain Noir G MascaraWhy we love it: Luxurious in every way! Besides the formula that does it all (lengthen, thicken, curl), the carbon pigments that deliver the blackest of colors, and the super-soft brush that fluffs up lashes, it also comes in a refillable case that clicks open to reveal a mirror for chic and easy touch-ups on the go. In a word: obsessed. Guerlain Noir G Mascara, $49, saks.com. |
