Voluminous lashes await with Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash Brag Volumizing Mascara, a jet-black formula with an hourglass-shaped brush that delivers dramatic definition with each application. It’s also water-resistant as opposed to waterproof, meaning it retains strong staying power while being easy to remove with some micellar water or an oil cleanser of your choice.
At just $5, Essence’s Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara really does the most for short, lackluster lashes. The cone-shaped brush divides and separates each hair, leaving a clump-free and voluminous fluttery effect.
If nighttime skin care feels like a thorn in your side, Wander Beauty’s Mile High Club Length and Define Mascara is here to ease the burden.

Plus, a squeezable tube means you can use every last drop of product.
Honest Beauty’s Extreme Length Mascara + Lash Primer is a Readers’ Choice Award-winning formula packaged in a dual-sided tube that holds primer on one end and mascara on the other. Prep your lashes with the aforementioned primer to increase staying power; coat your lashes with the mascara for a lengthening effect. What makes this formula different from others on the market? A nourishing dose of jojoba esters that won’t leave lashes feeling brittle post-cleanse.
Lorac’s Pro Thickening & Lengthening uses a larger brush head to define each and every lash. This is the perfect mascara if you’re looking for a tool that achieves daytime and nighttime looks: the buildable formula makes for an effect that can be as subtle or as dramatic as you’d like.
If an au naturel look is what you seek, Perricone’s No Makeup Mascara is begging to be found. A fine-tooth comb brush adds length and prevents clumping of any kind while a blend of biotin, avocado oil, and tocotrienols encourages natural lash growth.
Like the similarily named, famed Kill Liner, Clio’s Kill Lash Superproof Mascara has garnered major hype for its staying power alone — reviewers swear that when the product description says waterproof, it means really waterproof. This will not budge through sweat, tears, rain, humidity, etcetera. Straight lashes will also appreciate this formula’s ability to hold a dramatic curl.
Neutrogena may be known for skin care, but don’t sleep on its makeup — especially the Healthy Lengths Mascara. Made with vitamin E, rice protein, and olive oil, this mascara will make your lashes look thicker and keep them strong and moisturized over time.
It’s OK if you’ve never heard of Vivienne Sabó. We didn’t either until we tried the Cabaret Premiere Artistic Volume Mascara.

Consider Burt’s Bees Nourishing Mascara skin care in mascara form. It’s formulated with jojoba oil and glycerin to nourish and moisturize lashes. Plus, the wand has a pointy tip, so it’s easy to lift up even the most hard-to-reach hairs.
