Say hello to decadently dramatic lashes with these supreme mascaras.
A good mascara can be hard to find. And, given we are playing up our eyes more than ever, a solid mascara is a worthwhile investment. That said, depending on the shape of your eyes and length of your lashes, we have an array of options you’re certain to adore.
If you have shorter lashes, opt for volumizing or thickening formulas that can add depth and dimension. And, if you have long lashes, separating or lengthening formulas will play up this stunning quality.
We’ve broken out our favorite formulas below.
Separating:
Ilia Limitless Lash Mascara
This mascara has one of the more unique brushes I’ve seen. It’s a full brush head on one side, and then it has a comb for coating and separating the lashes on the other. The brush is so good that I’ll occasionally go over other mascara brands with it just to make sure my lashes are combed out.
Length:
Huda Legit Lashes
The cool thing about this mascara is that it’s really two mascaras in one. One end is for length and curl, and the other is for volume. I chose to highlight it for the lengthening and curling component because that formula is just so good. The brush is curved and thin, which really allows you to get those hard-to-reach areas.
Illamasqua Masquara Raven
Length is the name of this mascara’s game! It also separates and adds volume at the roots. The brush bristles are slightly separated and acts almost as a comb evenly coating all of the lashes, giving them the life they deserve.
Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Lengthening Mascara
For the longest, most feathery lashes, this mascara is the way to go. Its bristles are staggered so that they grab onto the root of the lashes, and it features a domed tip for precision application. This winner also excels at holding curl.
Thickening:
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Push Up Mascara
Thickening is an understatement here. This formula deposits a significant amount of product onto the base of your lashes and creates the look of fullness and length. The brush also makes it super easy to get the bottom lashes because of its unique shape.
Too Faced Better Than Sex
This is a thoroughly thickening mascara that has long been heralded as a cult-favorite. It almost gives your lashes a chunky, spidery look. The brush is thick and has a little dip in the middle for maximum effect.
Code 8 Lash Sophisticate High Definition Mascara
Not only is this mascara a thickening powerhouse, it’s buildable. This means that you can continue to layer up until you achieve your desired results. It is long-wearing and won’t flake.
Volume:
Eyeko Black Magic Mascara
This mascara is a slam-dunk as far as volumizing. The formula fully coats your lashes and makes them look super thick. The brush has a slight bend so that it gets every single little lash. Another great aspect of this mascara (as if you needed one?), it comes in a charming little tube so that there’s no product waste. Good to the last drop!
Lancôme Monsieur Big Volumizing Mascara
This mascara delivers lots of volume and length. It’s smudge-proof and clump-free so that your lashes maintain their voluminous look. The brush truly delivers with wavy fiber bristles that are ideal for getting every single lash.
MILK Kush High Volumizing Mascara
This is perhaps the most powerful mascara on the list. The brush on this powerful mascara is chunky, which can make it a little trickier to get the corners and the bottom lashes. But boy is there ever a payoff in both volume and length. It also holds your lashes in their newly plumped state. Success!. It also holds your lashes in their newly plumped state.
