MAC Pro LongLash MascaraThe 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 $11.00See more MAC products |

Flirt! Big Flirt Thickening MascaraThe 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 $10.00See more Flirt! products |

CoverGirl Professional Remarkable Waterproof MascaraThis 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 |

Victoria's Secret Very Voluptuous Extreme Volume MascaraThis 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 |

Rimmel London Lash MaxxxYes, 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 |

Origins Underwear for LashesDressing 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 |

Sephora Volume MascaraThis 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 |

Bobbi Brown Everything MascaraEverything? Really? For something that "lengthens, thickens and defines," you'd expect to see a dramatic difference, but unless you were lucky enough to be born with monster lashes, after using it yours will look nice at best. It's true there's no "smearing or clumping," but for $20 a pop, it better not....More |

Maybelline New York Define-A-Lash Washable Lengthening MascaraA mascara that promises "zero clumps" with "stunning length" and "clean definition" at this price sounds too good to be true -- and it is. The reason it doesn't clump? The formula is so thin, you'll need at least two coats to get decent lash definition. Then it starts clumping. Also, the bendab...More |

DuWop Lashlacquer MascaraFor such cool packaging, DuWop Lash Lacquer mascara is underwhelming. The dual-ended tube appears to short you on product, considering the price. Even after multiple coats, the mascara delivers a natural look, meaning very little volume or lengthening. While there's no clumping, the resin-free, fit-for-sensitive-eyes formul...More $19.00See more DuWop products |
