You might not be too familiar with the W3LL People brand but it's gotten some serious hype from makeup artists, makeup lovers and beauty pubs in recent months. Jessa Blades, a natural beauty expert with Credo's Clean Beauty Council, is also a big fan.
"This wand and formula are great for one coat of a natural-looking lash and then it can be transformed to a full lash that's ready for a night out with two coats," she says. "I love the black, but just in case you are needing a little bit of blue mascara for a special occasion — or just a way to spice up a Tuesday — they have the perfect blue."
Another one of Wiles' favorite mascaras is Dior Diorshow Mascara, which is perfect for days when you want to add a ton of volume without having to mess with falsies. "It stays in place and adds great volume, due to the microfibers in the formulation," she says. It comes in black, purple, blue and brown, and you can also find it in a waterproof version.
It's got a name that'll stop you in your tracks, but does Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara live up to its moniker? According to Drury, it totally does. "I love the length and 'wispiness' of lashes with this one. It never looks clumpy or spidery, and it's honestly one of my all-time favorites. A must have!"
"For something at a higher price point, I like to use Trish McEvoy's High Volume mascara," says Gomez. "This is a tubular mascara that wraps each lash to help create length and volume for an all-day, smudge-free wear. This makes it perfect for a night out — no raccoon eyes." His pro tip for this one is to hold the pointed end of the mascara wand at an angle to help grab even the tiniest lashes at the corner of your eyes. This will add even more definition.
For another luxe option, Blades says to reach for Kjaer Weis Certified Organic Mascara. "It helps to create a beautiful lash, plus it is in the chicest tube imaginable. Because of it is amazing packaging — which is also refillable — I immediately feel 10 times more chic by putting this mascara on my lashes. The wand is also really good for separating the lashes."
When taking off mascara at the end of the night, she wants to reiterate how important it is to remove it as gently as possible. "An oil-based face cleanser is great for helping to remove mascara without irritating your eyes," she notes. You can also try micellar water and a cotton pad.
