Mascara

	Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara Everything about this is big -- the tube, the wand and the longevity. It also lives up to its promise: Two coats of the heavy liquid applies evenly and dries quickly, and it magnifies lashes "to twice their size." However, the wand's pointed tip develops build-up after a few uses, depositing too much product if y...More $14.00See more Clinique products Average rating from 44 members 8
	Lancome L'Extreme Mascara Trying a new mascara is a gamble. You fork over cash for a tube of stuff you hope will give you longer, more perfect lashes -- sometimes you get lucky; most times you don't. Do take a chance on this one, though. The formula contains fibers, which, like Estee Lauder Lash XL, are unnoticeable (a huge plus). Each swipe adds a ...More $23.50See more Lancome products Average rating from 44 members 8
	Lancome Definicils Pro Mascara The original Definicils is a Lancome top seller and a favorite, since it adds length and volume without clumping, running or flaking. (It's always been my go-to and go-back-to mascara.) So when testing out the Pro version of this classic, I was skeptical. It has the same formula, but with a curved brush. Straight brushes ar...More $23.00See more Lancome products Average rating from 50 members 8
	Clinique Lash Power Mascara Long Wearing Formula Clinique Lash Power Mascara is amazing, but not just for the reasons Clinique is touting. Yes, the tubing formula lasts all day without smudging or flaking, and yes, it removes with only warm water (and the proper press-and-pull motion with your fingers). But the real reason to buy it is for the dramatic length. Apply it ca...More $14.00See more Clinique products Average rating from 90 members 8
	Estee Lauder Lash XL Maximum Length Mascara This mascara actually lengthens lashes with "stretchable silk micro-fibers," but unlike some fiber-full formulas (Maybelline New York Intense XXL), you don't notice the fibers in this. It claims to lengthen by 50 percent, but 20 percent is more like it -- totally acceptable for a product you simply brush on. It do...More $21.00See more Estee Lauder products Average rating from 20 members 8
	MAC Pro Lash Mascara Claims to be "hardwearing," and indeed it is, adding a good deal of length and volume. The formula doesn't smudge or flake, but it's extremely thick and dramatic -- some would say too much for daytime wear (unless you have very thin, light lashes). You'll get dense coverage in just one coat; two coats is too much ...More $11.00See more MAC products Average rating from 25 members 7.5
	Stila multi-effect mascara Stila Multi-Effect Mascara promises to do the work of three formulas: volumize, lengthen and curl. Sound too good to be true? It is, but Stila at least gets two jobs done. The thick brush with densely packed bristles helps add volume while the curved shape helps boosts curl a bit. Only length leaves a lot to be desired. A l...More $20.00See more Stila products Average rating from 14 members 7.5
	Chanel Cils a Cils Lash Building Mascara Chanel Cils a Cils Lash Building Mascara works -- depending on how you define "building." If it means increasing volume then you'll likely be disappointed, as the beeswax (intended to plump) isn't very effective. However, if it means length then you'll be pleased with the silk fibers that extend lashes. Overall the look is ...More $26.00See more Chanel products Average rating from 6 members 7
	Prescriptives Beyond Long Maximum Length Mascara The brush on this baby may look jumbo, but its genius, tapered design makes reaching even the tiniest corner lashes easy. Results aren't instant or "spectacular" as advertised, but lashes can look about 40 percent longer and more defined after precise application. Expect a natural, delicate look that's smudge-free...More $19.50See more Prescriptives products Average rating from 12 members 7
	Yves Saint Laurent MASCARA VOLUME EFFET FAUX CILS Luxurious Mascara We'll give it points for the luxe-factor. The thick nylon fibers on the wand evenly coat and separate each lash. But it takes several of the advertised "single strokes" to get the "intense look." The liquid dries fast and lashes look strong and defined, but full-on faux? Not quite. And the price stings. ...More $27.50See more Yves Saint Laurent products Average rating from 19 members 7
