Maybelline Great Lash Washable Mascara
This Maybelline formula is truly for those who are just beginning their journey into finding the best mascara. Most beauty enthusiasts start out with this holy grail product and build their collection up from here. Use the brush in a zig-zag motion for a false cat-eye effect, and you won’t need any eyeliner.
Glossier Lash Slick Mascara
This Glossier mascara is the perfect product for those who love to layer with multiple mascaras. Featuring a soft but sturdy wand, this product allows you to achieve a natural, lash-defining effect with just one swipe. It also beautifully separates the lashes with a non-clump finish.
Dior Show Mascara
Though it’s a bit on the higher-end side, you’ll get much bang for your buck with this lengthening mascara by Dior Makeup, designed to make your eyelashes appear longer, fuller and bolder.
Westman Atelier Eye Love You Mascara
This ultra-luxe mascara by Westman Atelier is worth every penny it costs. Packaged in a gold tube, this product is designed to naturally lift, shape and define your eyelashes.
Freck Beauty Lashrocket Mascara
One of the newest mascaras on the market, this Freck Beauty formula stands close to being a perfect one. When I use this product alone with many layers on, my lashes look full but still feel very lightweight, with zero clumping.
