In the age of lash lifts, lash extensions and falsies, let’s go back to the OG products that work just as well, if not better. The thing with lashes is, just like our hair, they come in different textures and types; and not all of them benefit from using the same product. You’ve also got to think about what kind of finish you’re after – length, volume, thickening, non-clumping, curling– and even non-smudging! To help you wade through the mascara offering the beauty industry has to offer, here are some top mascara products that will have your lashes popping in seconds, whatever the result you’re after.
Maybelline
Great Lash Mascara, £5.99
This product was, and still is, a staple in every makeup loving gal’s collection! It’s small, easy and no fuss. Even one coat of this mascara is enough for impact – sometimes less is more. It glides on to the lash and does wonders to create just the right amount of length and volume. And a huge plus to this mascara is it doesn’t get clumpy and give you ‘spider’ lashes if you decide to opt for more than one coat- a dream come true! The wand is simple and holds just the right amount of product, so you can be sure it’ll last you a while. This one is an oldie but goldie!

One coat for a day look, but add another layer and it’ll switch you up to a stellar evening/occasion look.
