The quest for long, lush lashes has lead many a woman up many a supermarket or department store path. Sometimes to great success, other times to hot, panda-eye mess. Want to make sure you're buying a winner? Check out our Top Ten Top Rated mascaras. You may find the results eye-opening!
1. Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara - Washable
RATED: 4.7/5!
Beauty Review Member LUXE says: The mascara is beautiful, both to look at and use. I was impressed from the get go. Seriously amazing. Just LOVE that the liquid isn't clumpy and the brush applies the mascara evenly on your lashes. I found it washed off easily when cleansing my face, leaving no grimy bits! It is now my official, number one mascara!
2. Maybelline Volum' Express the Colossal
RATED: 4.2/5!
Beauty Review Member vicky_7589 says: This stuff is gold! The brush is fantastic. It has so many bristles and really brushes and fans my lashes out. I've been using it for a while now, and despite trying other brands, I keep finding myself coming back to this one.
3. Maybelline Volume Express Mascara - Falsies Flared
RATED: 4.2/5!
Beauty Review Member yun says: This product is absolutely amazing . I love how it makes my lashes look. The brush keeps my lashes from clumping together and the mascara makes my lashes appear fuller and longer. This product is every girls dream if they don’t want to literally have fake lashes but to look as if they do in fact have perfect ones.
4. CoverGirl Lashblast Volume Mascara
RATED: 4.6/5
Beauty Review Member milana says: This is one of my holy grail make up products. The mascara thickens my lashes and darkens then without clumping at all!
5. CoverGirl Clump Crusher Mascara
RATED: 4.5/5
Beauty Review Member Cassandramarie says: It makes my lashes appear longer with a lot more volume. It's easy to apply and supports its name as there's never any clumps! One of the best mascaras I have used!
6. Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara
RATED: 4.5/5
Beauty Review Member gillywilly says: I love this mascara. Haven't used anything else for couple of years now because I just like what this does. It volumises easily, has a nice dark black formula, doesn't clump on my eyelashes and can be built up for dramatic effect or left quite natural with just a couple of sweeps of the brush.
7. Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
RATED: 4.3/5
Beauty Review Member CrystaaaalB says: It spans eyelashes out so evenly and with one coat it still remains natural. It does not clump either. When I'm wanting a going-out make-up look I'll apply 2 or 3 coats and it looks just as good as false lashes! No more spider leg eyelashes with this baby!
8. Clinique High Impact Mascara
RATED: 4.3/5
Beauty Review Member trudijoy says: It's a really good every day mascara. REALLY good. I find it applies well, doesn't clump and lasts all day. It's not SUPER lengthening, volumnising or anything, but does just enough of everything (except curling) so be a solid every day performer. Love it, would def buy it again.
9. L'Oreal Paris Lash Paradise Mascara
RATED: 4.3/5
Beauty Review Member Jinx says: I've tried several higher end mascaras and this little baby out does them all. It gives bold beautiful feathery lashes without any clumps or lumps after just one coat and it stays put all day without any flaking or transferring.
10. Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara - Waterproof
RATED: 4.3/5
Beauty Review Member Camillarees90 says: Love this mascara! Not only was it waterproof - only coming off with cleanser, it also withstood me rubbing my eyes throughout the day. It was super easy to apply and my lashes looked long and thick for the entire day.
Amazing how many Maybelline products have made the top 10 list! I have definitely found them to be great in the past - although I'm finding that my eyes are getting more and more sensitive to eye makeup so might need to start looking for some more natural alternatives.
