Quiz: Are You Using the Right Mascara?

See if the eye makeup you're coating your lashes in is the best formula for you

Your Results

You should be using a lengthening mascara

To add drama to your eyes and length to your lashes without getting costly lash extensions, try a mascara formula enriched with nutrients like proteins and antioxidants, and look for longer, thinner wands (as opposed to thicker, chubbier ones). They'll help really define each and every lash.

Try these reader favorites:

Lancome L'Extreme Mascara, $24.50

GloMinerals gloLash Lengthening Mascara, $15

If you have problems with mascara flaking off or if you have an oily scalp or face and you can never get mascara to stay on your lashes, opt for a waterproof formula like L'Oreal Paris Double Extend Waterproof Mascara, $10.99

And, remember to throw out your mascara after three months of use, says Hezekiah, adding that a dried up formula will be more likely to gunk up your lashes.
