We can’t stop raving about this mascara enough. Why? Simply because everything from its formula to its packaging is thoughtful. For amplified lash care, its formula is enhanced with strengthening vitamin B5 and protecting cotton extract to help reinforce lashes with each use. Its bi-material brush sees of a rigid wand for steady application, alongside flexible bristles that meld perfectly to the lashes. Plus, it also claims to have a 24-hour staying power.

The saying “bigger is better” may not always apply in all situations, but it definitely applies to lashes. Said to create 12 times the volume of your natural lashes, it also claims to have a 24-hour wear time of voluminous, bold lashes – even in the morning after.

If you haven’t already caught it, the brush of this Givenchy mascara isn’t shaped like your atypical brush. Built as a spherical little knob, this precise shape is made to separate and coat – even the shortest ones – from the root to the tip. It also features a new hydrating polymer in its formula which prevents smudging and a triple-action polymer that’s able to cling onto the lashes to lengthen and curl them.

Born after 248 formulations, comes the cult beauty brand’s version of what they call the perfect everyday mascara. Tiny fibres in the formula coat lashes to lengthen them, while flexible polymers work concurrently to lock and lift each fibre firmly onto the lash. Something to note though: this one’s water-resistant, not water-proof.

This mascara promises 36-hour dramatically full and voluminous lashes that are so full it’s like wearing actual falsies on your eyes. Coupled with its streamlined brush and weightless gravity-defying formula, this matte-black mascara coats lashes evenly every application.

Its Hook ‘n’ Roll brush that mimics the shape of hair rollers features tiny hooks that are designed to catch, lift, and curl even the shortest and straightest lashes without the use of an eyelash curler. So, it really saves some application time without compromising on beautifully fanned out lashes.

This one from Pretty Vulgar claims to be buildable and layerable, so that you can control how dramatic or natural you want your lashes to be. It’s also formulated with pro-vitamin B5 to moisturise and thicken each lash.

This pick is said to have a unique creamy mousse formula that was birthed from a lightweight blend of whipped melted waxes to keep your lashes flexible while lifting, lengthening, and volumising.

A long-wearing, lengthening mascara that gives you 12-hour length, lift, volume and glam without any heaviness or clumping? Sold. Plus, its 360° precision brush acts like a wind machine that catches and coats the smallest of lashes that might’ve been hidden.

Featuring silica micro-beads filled with keratin, Givenchy has devised this mascara to protect your lashes while nourishing rice peptides strengthen and revitalise the lash fringe.

We don’t think that you’d need any further convincing on why you need this iconic bestseller from Too Faced. Especially now that it’s dressed up in a diamond-studded case, who could resist?

While the brush is on the larger side, the bristles are uniquely designed to coat lashes with just the right amount of product with each layer so you can build lash volume effortlessly without worrying about clumping or smudging.

When it comes to this mascara, it was love at first sight for us. The skinny application makes it effortless to reach the inner and outer corners of the eyes so that even the tiniest lashes are coated. Yet, the brush has a 4-sided obelisk shape that deposits the optimal amount of product without weighing lashes down. And that’s not all: it uses Advance Thermal Technology to hold mascara onto lashes without smudging or fading for 24 hours, even through sweat and humidity. That is, until you decide to remove it with warm water and it melts right off.

With a name like this, you know this mascara means business. Not only is the mascara formula packed with jet-black pigments, it is also waterproof and has a creamy texture that melds to each and every eye lash like a dream. Plus, the bristles are made of silicone so they are bendy enough to reach your lashes, and yet firm enough to separate them to minimise clumping.

Perfect for everyday wear, this mascara’s forte is lengthening short lashes while giving it a natural lift.

Inspired by the dramatic effect of false lashes, this bold mascara combines super-concentrated black pigments with its Flash Volume Complex to create drastically thicker and longer lashes in three coats or less. Its hourglass-shaped brush also deposits the most product at the centre of the eyes for a wide-eyed effect, while the defining tips help comb through lashes so they always look thick but never clumpy.

One of the most versatile mascaras available in the market, this product lengthens, curls, volumises and holds lashes in place for dramatic eye fringe. And unlike many waterproof mascaras that can leave lashes looking dull and flaky, this formula is infused with lash-conditioning ingredients that soften and moisturises lashes. Did we mention it’s also made to stay put throughout rain, heat, sweat or tears?

As its name suggests, this mascara is not for the faint-hearted. Thanks to its revolutionary 4DAmplifier brush, it defies gravity as it promises up to four times more volume in just one coat. One side of the brush has denser bristles to coat lashes with the maximum amount of product for head-turning volume while the side with shorter bristles can be used on the lower lashes effortlessly without smudging. The brush also has a tapered end that reaches tiny lashes at the corners of the eyes for dramatic yet weightless lashes that, even on your wildest nights, can definitely outlast you.
