1. A K-beauty mascara that TikTok is *raving* about for its ability to add length and volume to even the shortest of lashes. And thanks to its waterproof formula, this mascara actually holds a curl all day long (even in super-hot or damp weather). Say goodbye to midday lash curling!
2. An extreme lash mascara, because falsies are great for special occasions, but they *can* become uncomfortable from time to time! Try this formula if you want the look of falsies with the feel of a barely-there mascara.
3. A Vivienne Sabó mascara that's a cult-favorite formula that stands the test of time. With almost 15,000 5-star ratings on Amazon, people in search of mega length and natural-looking volume have been flocking to this mascara for years. If you want something to add a va-va-voom factor to your every day look, this one's for you.
4. An Essence Lash Princess Mascara because it's less than $5, and remains one of the best mascaras I have ever tried (and I'm a beauty writer, so I've tried a bunch!). If you want lashes that look like lash extensions, while paying about the same price you would for a cold brew, you need to get this!
5. A clean mascara that actually works. Most clean mascaras have a bad rap for flaking, smudging, and drooping easily. This formula, however, gives you Bambi lashes that'll last all day and throughout the night.
6. A lifting and lengthening mascara because it proves you *can* have lashes that reach for the heavens, without spending close to an hour gluing falsies onto your lashline.
7. A tubing mascara if you need a water-resistant option that adds length and volume. In case you don't know, tubing mascaras use polymers to wrap around each individual lash, creating tubes of product that don't flake, smear, or run during your day. This is perfect if you wear mascara EVERYWHERE, from the gym and the grocery store to a dinner date with your boo.
8. A Maybelline mascara because it has cemented itself as TikTok's favorite lash-enhancing product, even more than a year after going viral! This mascara makes it easy to achieve full, defined, come-hither lashes with just a few strokes — clumps not included.
9. A buildable volumizing mascara by Rare Beauty (aka Selena Gomez's makeup brand) that I love to use when I want to add pizzazz to my smudged liner look but don't have time to whip out my falsies. This mascara adds an enormous amount of volume at the base of the lashes without any goopy clumping that takes away from my liner!
10. A TikTok-approved mascara so you can create a wispy curl that seems to defy gravity. This pick contains castor oil to help soften and nourish your lashes, while it curls. If you want to achieve volume, curl, and length in one stroke of the (mascara) wand, then this is the one for you.
