Best Mascaras: 15 Top-Rated Mascaras That Are Super Fabu-lash!

This viral product deserves all the recognition. It does a little bit of everything; the flexible wand coats lashes well without clumping them, it lengthens as well as gives volume in just one coat, the formula is waterproof (but can be easily removed with a cleansing oil), and by the end of it, you look like a different person. It's a good mascara, and if you wish to see it in action, check it out here.

If 200+ soft bristles don't get you volume, we don't know what will. This wand coats every lash, and then coats some more. The formula has castor oil (hydration), rose oil (boosts growth), and cornflower extract (softens and hydrates). Users love the instant volume effect it gives with just one or two coats, without the instant effect of a lash lift.

A blessing for people with short or scarce lashes, this mascara will make you feel like you have falsies on, and people will ask if they're real or not. What we like about this one is the applicator brush; the bristles are sturdy, so it separates each lash quite well; it has a magnetically charged core, which pulls the magnetic formula outwards, resulting in 40% longer lashes. The formula does so much but also remains lightweight and builds easily.

You won't get a more budget mascara than this, and one from a Canadian brand that actually works well. It's a volumising mascara, which has proven to be waterproof and smudge-proof for me. The best part? It gave me denser and thicker lashes. I love how easy it is to apply and it definitely overstays its welcome!

An easy pick for the best high-end mascara is none other than Better Than Sex by Too Faced. It gives an almost airbrushed lift to your lashes, gives volume and even lengthens to some extent. The formula is very lightweight, you feel like you have almost nothing on, and the wand also helps in curling your lashes while you apply the mascara.

Clear mascara is not only for the blessed people who have lashes; it can be used as a topcoat, add shine and gloss, or make lashes hold their curl for longer. One of the best clear mascaras that we've come across is the e.l.f.'s clear brow and mascara duo that not only is a mascara but also helps tame your brows and keep them set all day long without making them crusty.

A mascara that does not budge, come rain or shine. We've worn this mascara day to night without it making us look like a raccoon. We like that the bristles are short and sturdy, so it's able to coat all lashes evenly and not only give good length and volume but also curl the lashes well.

A good applicator can make a bad mascara seem good. It won't clump your lashes even in the third coat, one that separates lashes like you're combing them, one that is able to reach the corners of your eye without creating a mess, and the Benefit Cosmetics BADgal Bang! Mascara does it all. The custom big slimpact brush tapers on the top root-to-tip, corner-to-corner, upper and lower lashes. The mascara is long-wearing and gives volume without weighing down the lashes.

For some curling and lifting action, the Benefit Cosmetics roller for lashes is probably the best on the market. The Hook' n Grab curved brush instantly gives a lift to your lashes. You could call it a push-up bra for your eyelashes. The long-wearing formula stays for about 12 hours, it's water-resistant (not proof), so it stays for a long time, but is still easy to remove.

I have been fascinated by colour mascaras since their conception, and one brand that has gone absolutely crazy on this genius invention is Elitty. Formulated with skin-safe ingredients like amla, castor oil, almond oil, and chamomile oil, it is available in 11 various shades to cater to different skin tones and makeup looks. I personally love their violet shade, but users also love their yellow and turquoise ones.
