The most common type of mascara is a liquid that comes in a tube and is applied with a brush. Mascara is a cosmetic that lengthens and thickens your lashes. You may wind up with black smudges under your eyes if you apply mascara while viewing a particularly depressing film.

Mascara FeaturesSome people use mascara on a daily basis to darken their lashes or draw attention to their eyes.

Others save mascara for special occasions, along with lipstick and eye shadow.

Mascara in some form has been present for thousands of years, dating back to ancient Egypt when eyelashes were coloured  with kohl.

From the 1880s through the 1920s, this cosmetic was known in English as mascaro, which comes from the Italian term maschera, which means "mask."

Overall, Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara is the best luxury mascara.

In my opinion, more mascara is better. You can't go wrong with Too Faced's Better Than Sex mascara for lashes that look as good as falsies. The cult classic's jet-black formula, which is strengthened with curl-holding polymer and acacia Senegal tree extract, lengthens and volumizes lashes. There's no need to layer on many layers; just one or two will provide enough dramatic and seductive volume to justify the product's provocative moniker. — Senior Arianna Yaptangco

Overall, Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara is the best drugstore mascara.

This is what I like to refer to as a drugstore diamond because it is inexpensive, powerful, and long-lasting. When I know I'll need my makeup to last for several hours, like a night out on the town, I prefer to use this. The wand is my favourite feature since it makes sure the product gets through all of my lashes without leaving any noticeable residue. And I am confident that throughout the day, no flakes will disturb the rest of my makeup! — Andrea Aguila, writer for business

Best Luxury Waterproof Mascara: Chanel The Chanel Volume Mascara

Regarding mascaras, I am really choosy. Clump-free volume is what I want. I want it to be washable with just a mild cleaning while still having lasting strength. And I absolutely do not want smudges. Chanel mascaras have been a longtime favourite of mine for all of these reasons. This formula's wand adds a lot of volume in just one coat, and when I examined my lashes for smudges at 3 p.m., nothing had moved. — Macaela Mackenzie, author

CoverGirl The Super Sizer by LashBlast Waterproof Mascara is the best waterproof mascara available in pharmacies.

When a waterproof mascara can survive the entirety of a Nicholas Sparks film, as this drugstore brand did, you know it's the Good Stuff. You get very fanned-out lashes since the small brush clings to each individual lash. When The Best of Me's prominent character died, it didn't even clump. Editor-in-chief Anna Moeslein

Benefit Cosmetics They're Real is the best lengthening mascara.

Do you recall how nice it is to remove hair tangles with a brush? The zigzag bristles in this extending mascara assist separate and define without clumping, which is kind of how it feels on your lashes—in the greatest way imaginable. The brush's magnetically charged core attracts the mineral-rich substance and extends it over the tips of your own lashes, but that isn't even the best aspect of this ground-breaking recipe.

Pat McGrath Labs Dark Star Volumizing Mascara is the best curling mascara.

Pat McGrath is the only one who can make the best high-impact mascara. This mascara volumizes lashes without flaking, smudging, or clumping, and it comes in a striking, rich black. I really have no concerns about it. No matter how many coatings I apply, my lashes never become crunchy or stiff but rather always remain smooth and fluffy. It's a go-to item in my cosmetics bag. —A.Y.

Unlocked Instant Extensions: The Best Smudge-Proof Mascara

I was into this Hourglass mascara as soon as it touched my lashes. The comb-like brush actually coated every single lash, and the product is really dark—possibly one of the darkest I've ever used. My lashes appeared long, defined, and fanned out. It is completely smudge-proof, so I can wear it all day long without worrying about flaking or raccoon eyes. But since it's truly a fibre or "tubing" compound, it's not waterproof. On the good side, though, mascara comes off easily without makeup remover with only a little warm water.

Clinique High Impact Mascara is the best mascara for sensitive eyes.

When you have eczema, mascara can be your worst enemy, especially if, like me, your dry patches fall just over your eyelid. no longer. When I overspent during Sephora's Insider Sale, I snagged a sample of Clinique's High Impact Mascara and haven't looked back. This solution was evaluated by ophthalmologists and adheres to my lashes lightly. There are no flakes, smudges, or irritations. With only one swipe, I can go without fear of a flare-up in the middle of the day.
