The Best Everyday Mascaras
Mascara isn’t one of the things we’re tripping over ourselves to buy, but it plays an important role. It kind of ties the rest of your make-up together in the same way a pair of big black Céline shades can make jeans and a black tee look awesome, but effortless.
Another thing – we don’t like looking like we’re wearing make-up, and mascara usually gives it all away, so a good everyday mascara is hard to come by. It needs to separate and lengthen, and make your lashes look thick without clumping.
Believe us, we’ve searched high and low for this miracle mascara, but usually find we’re a little let down in one way or another.
This sparked our search for the all-rounders. The ones that get people commenting; that make our friends jealous; that can really make something out of well, not much.
The good news is, they do exist. The bad news is, we actually found so many that you might have a hard time choosing.

Clinique kind of fly under the radar in the mascara department, but they’re definite stand-outs. This one makes your lashes look incredible and it won’t budge or smudge throughout the day from rain, humidity or sweat.
Trust us – you won’t be disappointed.
This one uses special fibres to build-on your natural lashes – making them instantly longer, thicker and more defined (but don’t worry, it never flakes). The super-fine brush makes it easy to get right into the corners.
This one also uses clump-resistant fibres to build on your natural lashes, but it kind of stretches and separates them as you apply it. It’s a winner.
One word: buildable. You can go as hard (as in, up to 600% thicker than your natural lashes) or soft as you like with this one, so it’s the perfect choice for those wanting just one mascara that can do it all.
If you hate the way mascara tends to make your lashes look dull and powdery by the end of the day, this one’s your best bet. The combination of lash-conditioning waxes will give them a glossy kind of finish. Nice.
