Stubborn, hard to reach, and too short! No, we're not describing that guy who never called you back. We're, unfortunately, talking about our eyelashes. Some of us weren't blessed with gorgeous, bat-worthy lashes like certain celebrities we love to hate. So if good ol' genetics didn't bless us with full lashes, and we don't have the time to apply falsies every day, what's a girl to do?

Mascara. See the 12 best drugstore mascaras now.

To elaborate, find a mascara that will give us the false lash look nature denied us. A good mascara can lengthen, volumize, and curl your lashes all without flaking or requiring paint thinner to remove it. The best part about mascara is that with this beauty product, price doesn't dictate quality. In fact, to prove our point, we scoured through thousands of reviews to find drugstore mascaras that readers believe are comparable if not better than the leading high-end brands'.

Don't believe us? See what some readers had to say about these budget products:

· "I am totally addicted to it and for a good reason. It makes my lashes look amazing."
· "I put on makeup at 6 a.m. and wear [the mascara] until 9 or 10 p.m. -- no smudges or smearing!"
· "With the tiny brush, I can get every hair, have more control, and actually wear the mascara on my lashes, and not on my lids."
· "This is by far the best waterproof mascara there is out there. I can spend a day in the pool and never have raccoon eyes."
