Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash Lifting Mascara, $22

Tester: Audrey Fine, Special Projects Editor
Rating: 9

What she thought: "Anastasia Soare has long been the go-to eyebrow expert for Hollywood's elite and now, she may very well become known as the lash guru as well. This mascara goes on like a dream (thanks to the perfectly-sized brush). There's absolutely no clumping or gloopiness and it really does thicken and curl lashes in one stroke as promised. The formula, which contains 'hard waxes to build lashes and synthetic polymers to give them body and volume' works like a dream to impart thick, luscious lashes and (BONUS) it actually washes off with ease -- no scrubbing required."

The Falsies are one of my favorites!

by Chris213 Sunday, May 5, 2013 at 07:02AM Report as inappropriate

My new fav is rimmell flex. it is black w/ green writing. I like my lashes thick. Believe it or not used wet n wild lengthening and worked pretty well.

I love the Covergirl Lash Blast. Returned the Maybelline Falsies because it gave me giant clumps.

I LOVE Covergirl mascara with the curved brush. I also don't care for black and always use brown. Black seems so harsh. I don't care for their foundation but adore the mascara!

i own almost all of these, they work very well, to get very long lashes first use a lengthening mascara and then a thickening one

Wet n wild mascaras are well priced and work amazingly. The Too Faced Lasgasm is so excellent, and another great mascara is Diorshow. The BEST mascara ever is Lancome Definicils though. I will forever love itt!

Lancome mascaras are the best!

I love the Falsies, definitely one of my favorites! I'm going to have to try the Wet n Wild mascara now, it almost sounds too good to be true for that price.

This works pretty well! It lasts a long time but still is kinda clumpy. It's worth trying :)

I'm not thrilled with L'oreal's Million Lashes. Fancy packaging and very mediocre product. L'oreal usually makes great mascaras but this one is a daytime mascara, it adds neither length nor volume.

I have always depended on Maybelline for eye makeup, but usually stick to one or two classic products. After hearing the epic commentary on The Falsies, methinks a new product is in my future...

I love The Falsies! And I know a lot of people aren't particularly fond of The Falsies Flared, but I really love that too! The brush is fantastic. The formula could use a little work, but I love the way it separates and makes my lashes look so full!

I have too say I have tried most of theses mascaras and I couldn't agree more! The best (for me) is from MAC....rather pricey but well worth it.

I just recently bought the L'OREAL VOLUMINOUS MILLION LASHES, can't wait to try it!

by MissXu Thursday, November 17, 2011 at 07:58PM Report as inappropriate

When it comes to mascara, I say it's Dior or don't bother!! Maybeline? Wet n Wild? Girl please!!!!!! I am a mascara-freak/expert. There are only a couple that are AWESOME & they are Givenchy phenom-eyes effet, Dior Extase, and Dior Black out, or dior iconic if you want something less dramatic. If you want fab mascara, I'm sorry, but you are not going to find it in the wal-mart make-up aisle. I know, I tried and tried and tired. I love Too Faced, Urban Decay, MAC and tons more BEAUTIFUL make-up brands, but I won't bother with their mascaras...they are nothing compared to the ones above. If you REALLY need cheaper mascara, L'oreal Voluminous is the only thing that comes close to meeting my expectations, but it is not phenom eyes or Dior by any means.

This MAYBELLINE FALSIES is my HG! I´m asian with short and straight eyelashes and it really helps me get thick full volume. Best Mascara ever!

Christian Dior's Diorshow Blackout is my absolute favorite!! Lancome's Definicils is great too! Neither one is on this list. It makes me wonder how true these are.

by janellelora Monday, September 5, 2011 at 12:27PM Report as inappropriate

love this mascara, use it with Maybelline Falsies to separate my lashes and finish it off with this to give me the WOW effect! I found that putting mascara on both sides of your lashes is what gives me the WOW effect, just make sure to let it dry a bit before doing each side otherwise you will end up with clumpy lashes.

by dimps2lv Sunday, August 28, 2011 at 01:25PM Report as inappropriate

this mascara did not give me one ounce of volume. It made my lashes look spidery and thin. I hated it.

Falsies is really good even though it clumps the first few days when the formula is still watery. One by One is my favorite for everyday use though.

by beautyGodmade88 Sunday, July 31, 2011 at 07:05AM Report as inappropriate

I was rather satisfied with Maybelline Colossal mascara,Falsies mascara once I went out to buy but the brush seemed odd to me...maybe I will give it a second look. Also L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes mascara seems really good. I have to say that Clinique High Lengths Mascara seems ridiculous! I cannot imagine using it,the wand is silly and I cannot see how it would improve my lashes...And there is a Rimmel mascara,very cheap but VERY good! Rimmel Extra Super Lash mascara,curved one,is just the greatest thing I ever bought and I cannot even believe how it is low priced! Always would recommend it to absolutely everyone!:)

by riley_beach Thursday, July 21, 2011 at 07:52PM Report as inappropriate

Tried Maybelline Volum' Express and was so dissapointed. Clinique Length is my favorite, otc is Loreal Water proof Volume' in cabon black. It's easy to take off with mascara remover but soap & water won't cut it.

just a a note, the new edition of the falsies mascara that maybelline came out with is quite amazing! my sister bought it, and although she's been blessed with beautiful lashes, the brush and formula make them look even more astounding.

by Lana_28 Thursday, April 7, 2011 at 08:48PM Report as inappropriate

The Wet 'n' Wild mascara was too goopy and didn't look good at all on my lashes. The Clinique one took too much work to get it to look decent-- you have to wipe almost all of the mascara off the brush, and use a lash comb to get good results! I'm kind of surprised by what mascaras made the list.

by LipglossandSpandex Wednesday, April 6, 2011 at 07:46PM Report as inappropriate

Hmm. Some of these have a lot worse ratings now, such as L'Oreal's Millionize mascara. This article could probably benefit from a new version/update.

Without knowing the type of eyelashes the raters had or were looking for, and especially not knowing what makes something an 8 for 1 person and a 9 or 7 for another, its hard to know what to think about the ratings. The comments were much more useful.

Drugstore mascaras are terrible. Fork over more cash for a really good brand because drugstore mascaras last 2-4 months where department store mascaras can last between 3-10 months.

by ERiKAMARiE Wednesday, January 12, 2011 at 09:45AM Report as inappropriate

Mascara is so objective. For every girl that loves a mascara, there is another one who can't stand it. It's important to identify what you want out of a mascara and to search for a product based on that. Checking out the blogs is a great start. You have to come to terms with the fact that NO mascara on God's green earth provides the EXACT amount of volumizing,lengthening,thickening in just the perfect texture and color with the right amount of wear. People are darn tough on their mascaras!! LO. Personally, I like Dior Show for higher end and Revlon Lash Fantasy for drug store. I have naturally long and thick eyelashes but I am a natural dark blonde and like my lashes to look super dark and thick so these are my go to selections.

I'm so gIad my favorite made the list. The Maybelline line is the best in mascaras for me especially the Volume Express Falsies. I see it got a rating of 9. I love this mascara and would have even given it a 10 myself. The price is so reasonable too especially when compared to many others-only $5.95! Best mascara out there.

by Crystalleigh Wednesday, January 5, 2011 at 12:47PM Report as inappropriate

L'Oreal sucks! What are you talking about?! This mascara is the worse: it clumps so bad. The very worse part, this mascara took my lashes out. I have never seen anything like it. I threw it out immediately. Stick to the new Rimmel or Maybelline falsies.

by lakelover8 Wednesday, December 22, 2010 at 11:57AM Report as inappropriate

I think it's funny that one person absolutely loves one mascara and another person hates it. I guess your type of eyelashes makes all the difference. straight, curved, sparse, heavy, thick, thin, light, dark -- if people would mention their type it might be helpful to others. Myself I have been blessed with long, thick, dark, curved lashes. I recently splurged on YSL mascara and was SO disappointed! I should have stuck with the Bare Minerals Flawless Definition with its thin, rubbery tip that seems to work best for me. Before the YSL I tried Cover Girl Last Blash Length because it had a similar rubber applicator to the Bare Minerals, but it just didn't work for me. Urban Decay Skyscraper mascara and Lancome Defincils are also pretty good. It's been a long time since I've used Clinique but seem to remember liking their mascara at the time so I might try the High Lengths mentioned in this article. Oh, if you like big fat bristly brushes, Smashbox Lash DNA is for you!

I'vev read the article and the comments. My biggest problem is smudging. I have the eye lashes that when I smile, they hit my cheeks. Anyone know of a good mascara that will not smudge or smear until I take it off? And I don't care if I have to use make-up remover to get it off.

by luvtohavefun Sunday, December 19, 2010 at 02:23PM Report as inappropriate

I am very glad one of my favorites made the list! Falsies by maybelline is awsome! If you still haven't found your perfect mascara you really should try Falsies Volume Express Purple tube you will absolutely love it

hmmm I've tried out a few of these mascaras and I can think of 2 right off the top of my head that are much better than any of these listed. Cover Girl Lash Blast and Makeup For Ever Smokey Lash are both amazing and should be at the top of any mascara list!

Lancome Definicils waterproof brown is the Best !!!! I have used it for years. Keep trying different brands and never find anything that I like as well !!!

Glad to see my favorite makeup brand (Estee Lauder) made the list! I have used all of their mascaras and they never disappoint. I always get so many compliments on my lashes. My nail technician still insists that my lashes are "falsies". Estee Lauder products are the best!

If money is no object - Dior DIorShow is my pick, but if I'm watching the $$$ you can't beat L'Oreal Volumnous Original - it's awesome for the price !

Love too faced lash injection but I really also like lash blast by cover girl!

Too Faced Lash Injection, $19.50 - is not worth it! this mascara will sting your eyes, don't buy it. I tried it and it does nothing for your eyelashes except make them look like crap

How did Maybelline Full n Soft not make the list? This gives me length, volume, holds a curl, and makes my eyebrows touchable-soft. I'd put it up to ANY of these!

I have very sensitive eyes and wear contacts so I have to natural mascara. The best I have found is 100% Pure mascara.

I have very blue eyes that get comments from most everyone I m eet. I use Mary Kay products. Browns and black mascara. Their eye liner is the BEST. Lasts dusk to dawn with no touch up.

I love Maybelline XXL it goes on nice with the big bristley brush, and stays put. It doesn't flake and it doesn't come off until you take it off. I have long lashes, and have been accused of wearing fake lashes at work. Love it. beargrad

I use this mascara and LOVE IT! I especially like the primer. I am 70 yrs. young and this makes my eyes look bigger and brighter.

L'Oreal volumousmascara , i have very small eyelashes but its always been the best for me over all products.....it makes them look big

I have tried them all...my favorite is Dior Show mascara in black. it is a little pricey, however, it last a long time, keep lid tight. This stuff makes your lashes super long/super thick. Again, price shouldn't be an issue, you would buy 3-4 mascaras to try, and throw them in a drawer..you won't this...its worth it. trust me, i am a make up junkie, and only use what works. Also, sephora mascara is the bomb as well... but the diorshow is the best ever. I am 49 yrs old, and have been in modeling/fashion forever..this stuff works.

i really love the revlon double twist mascara. be warned that it looks like it will go on clumpy, but it doesn't. it goes on really nice.

L'Oreal Voluminous mascara with curved brush. It lengthens and plumps without clumping. A true classic staple for every girl's make up regime.

Yes I love Maybelline XXL ! My lashes are naturally long, but with this product it makes my eyes pop for photo shoots; and like others have mentioned gives you that false eye lash look.

MY FAVORITE MASCARA IS MAYBELLINE LASH STYLIST IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE FAKE LASHES ON WITH A DRAMATIC LOOK.

The mascara that I love the best is Arbonne. It stays on very well and doesn't cake, break your lashes or dry them out. I LOVE it!!

I love the Loreal Telescopic mascara's. I have fairly light, although long enough, lashes and need the color and extension. I RAVE over Maybeline's Expert Eyes for makeup removal or smudge clean up. I wear contacts and it doesn't burn my eyes. The regular is liquid but the one for waterproof is oily and I have to be careful not to get it in my eyes or it will blurr my contacts.

i love this mascara, it's absolutely useful for quick makeup mornings, i only take it off by rinsing my face with soap and water and it completely comes off... and whenever i cant take my makeup off when going to bed, i can wake up and wear the same previous' day application for the next day! 'cause it wont smudge or flake or anything, though i wouldn't do it, not hygienic haha. its great, not expensive, lasts a lot and i least i dont have to use a curler, the mascara would do it on its own!!

I just love love love the 7$ yet very effective 2 step XXL Lash Extension from Maybeline,NY,the first step is a white lash prep and extender that lets you quickly find every little lash and you do not have to worry about messing up your eyes because it is white and not visible on skin and step two just paint the white lashes, it lasts all day , does not smudge and really makes your lashes pop and look very long.You do not always have to buy 30 $ mascara, this one works the same or even better than most of the premium brands.
