	Benefit Get Bent Mascara Benefit's Get Bent Lash mascara does <em>almost</em> everything it claims to do. The angled brush lifts and curls stick-straight lashes well enough that a lash curler isn't necessary. The formula lengthens well and gives lashes a deep black color. But there's one huge problem: clumping. You'll wind up with huge ...More Buy now: $19.00 - $19.00See more Benefit products Average rating from 30 members 6
	Boots No7 Longer Lashes Mascara - Black While it performed as a most basic mascara, with a name like this I expected Boots Longer Lashes Mascara to, y'know, make my lashes longer. The slightly dry formula coated lashes sparingly and without lengthening, leaving a feathery, am-I-wearing-any-mascara look. By lunchtime I knew the answer to that, as my under-eye area...More Buy now: $7.99See more Boots products Average rating from 3 members 5.5
	Shu Uemura Precise Volume Mascara Waterproof Shu Uemura Precise Volume Mascara Waterproof promises lashes that are "full and highly defined." It delivers on definition -- it's easy to see individual lashes -- but lacks in volume. The small brush (with loosely packed bristles) helps separate but doesn't get a lot of product onto lashes, so multiple coats are required t...More Buy now: $23.00 - $23.00See more Shu Uemura products Average rating from 6 members 5.5
	MAC Pro LongLash Mascara The thick rounded middle section of this pinecone-shaped brush coats larger lashes while shorter spikes at both ends effectively hit the eye's outer baby lashes. The light formula defines each lash, but it takes at least three coats to show a bit of lengthening -- and then you can expect some clumping. Wear is good -- there...More Buy now: $13.00See more MAC products Average rating from 11 members 5.5
	Flirt! Big Flirt Thickening Mascara The tiny fibers in this mascara do add the teeniest bit of padding and length, but the claim that after using it you'll see a "false eyelash effect" is bogus. It does come in six colors, four brights and two neutrals. Plus the short wand is simple to maneuver. But for nearly half the price, you can get come-hither...More Buy now: $13.25See more Flirt! products Average rating from 11 members 5.5
	CoverGirl Professional Remarkable Waterproof Mascara This mascara claims to be waterproof, yet somehow it magically washes away with a little soap and water. In reality, this stuff is more water-resistant; it'll hold up if your eyes mist over, but not through a full-on cry fest. And it is a little easier to get off than other waterproof mascaras, but you'll still have to brea...More Buy now: $4.99See more CoverGirl products Average rating from 62 members 5
	Victoria's Secret Very Voluptuous Extreme Volume Mascara This mascara claimed to create the look of three coats in one, but sadly it took multiple coats to create dramatic lashes. After two weeks, the ultra-black formula thickened, delivering more volume in one coat. And though the chubby brush made it easy to plump lashes at the base, it was nearly impossible to avoid smudging l...More See more Victoria's Secret products Average rating from 18 members 5
	Origins Underwear for Lashes Dressing your lashes with a creamy, off-white negligee sounds sexy until these "skivvies" start to flake off. I applaud this primer's partially recycled packaging and average-sized, easy-to-use design. But the formula falls short of expectations. It goes on smoothly and seems to boost lash length, but doesn't add ...More Buy now: $14.50See more Origins products Average rating from 22 members 4.5
	Rimmel London Lash Maxxx Yes, the mini toothbrush-like brush or "micro-bristles" of this mascara seem to coat every single lash so it looks like you have more of them. But contrary to what the name heavily implies, it completely lacks a volumizing effect because that little brush doesn't dispense enough product to create knock-out lashes....More Buy now: $7.50 - $7.69See more Rimmel London products Average rating from 62 members 4.5
	Sephora Volume Mascara This mascara gets a "meh" on nearly all fronts. Not only is the formula really drying, it also flakes off -- a huge issue if you wear contacts or have sensitive eyes. Despite the stiff, clunky brush, it manages to coat lashes without clumping. The mascara does produce somewhat thicker lashes, as promised, but the ...More Buy now: $16.00See more Sephora products Average rating from 25 members 4.5
