In beauty, that means above-the-mask makeup is the most seen and most worn accompaniment (viaBusiness Insider).
These mascaras pair well with experimental looks but they’re also the perfect addition to tamer daily routines.

Their tendency to un-clump, curl, and stay on were also important criteria for the judges.
From the natural to anything but, here are some of the best mascaras this year.
But we really shouldn’t have been surprised.

L’Oreal Paris hasa consistent historyof winning us over with affordable, high-quality products.
In just one coat, the fluffy brush on the wand gave our lashes dramatic volume and main-character energy.
It turns out, we did.

It’s definitely deserving of The List Beauty Award and the 70,000 positive reviews on Amazon.
So we decided to bring the bottle home, despite our intimacy issues.
From the bottle, a feathery hourglass-shaped brush emerged, product clinging to every bristle.

Essentially, Too Faced offers falsies in a bottle that stay on without flaking for almost 8 hours.
That’s a pretty good deal for $27.
There’s no drama when it comes to this mascara it imitates your lashes while lengthening them significantly.

The bristles on the wand work hard to keep your lashes separate entities and there’s absolutely zero clumping.
It’s also enriched with argan andmarula oilsso your lashes are left moisturized and soft.
Overall, this mascara is great for lengthening your lashes to the ceiling and for minimal clumping and flaking.

It’s not very buildable, so you may want to skip dramatic looks for this one.
However, the moisturizing and long-lasting formula for $11 makes this one easy to commit to.
There’s also not too much smudging, making it an ideal partner to run errands with.
Benefit Cosmetics releasedThey’re Real Magnet Extreme Lengthening Mascaralast year and they’ve definitely madetheir presence known.
The product even has its own hashtag onTikTokwith 8 million views, while 300,000 people have it favorited onSephora.
The novelty of the mascara made it especially exciting to bring home.
But with a wave of the wand, our lashes were curled and impressively thickened.
The volume was lost almost immediately.
The wand was made for this formula, and we think Benefit would like us to stick to that.
As instructed, we applied the primer to our lashes and waited for 30 seconds.
The Honest Mascara retails for $17 (Alba’s staying true to her promise!)
and that’s a two-in-one deal we’d recommend taking.
