If It's Full Lashes You're After, These 11 Mascaras Are Worth Your Attention

This mascara is easily one of the most versatile out there. Use the small brush to wiggle the formula into the roots of the lashes for an instantly fuller-looking lash line. It also makes for the ultimate going-out mascara when layered up.

I strongly advise you add this new Lancôme mascara to your watch list. If you are yet to try the brand's iconic Hypnôse mascara, believe me when I say you're missing out. It is regarded as one of the (if not the) best mascaras ever created. It adds next-level length that seems weightless and invisible at the same time. This new addition to the line-up possesses the same weightless feel but with a whole load more volume. The best bit, though, is that it's formulated with a whole load of lash-loving ingredients, like amino acids and shea butter, to condition lashes and leave them looking fuller for longer (even when you're not wearing mascara).

YSL mascaras have never quite hit the big time in the way that others have, but this new launch is already making waves, and I can totally see why. While the waxy formula helps to build deep-black, intense volume, the supersized brush ensures not a single lash gets left behind.

Whatever your lash wants and needs, I insist you give this mascara a go. It adds length, curl and, yep, you guessed it, heaps of volume. It burst onto the beauty scene when rumour spread that Beyoncé was a fan, and it's been an editor favourite ever since. It's nothing fancy, but believe me when I say it makes for the ultimate daily mascara.

This mascara promises to boost lash volume by 200%, and I can't argue with that. Just a couple of coats leaves lashes looking fuller, intensified, and full of definition. 

Yes, Better Than Sex is probably the most popular mascara in the world. I've tried googling that statement to see if I'm right, and it would seem that we haven't yet developed a way to measure mascara popularity on a worldwide scale. What Google results do show, however, is that this mascara sells a lot, has a lot of five-star reviews and comes with a lot of fans. If it's long, voluminous lashes you're after, you're going to fall head over heels for this—trust me.

This mascara had a whole lot of hype when it first launched, but as time has gone on, it seems to have been forgotten about somewhat. And that is a shame. The brush (which is 3D-printed) has a unique honeycomb structure that somehow ensures it never becomes overloaded with product. Instead, it just allows the waxy formula to glide over lashes, leaving them looking impressively full.

I'll admit when I saw that Lancôme was launching a new addition to the Hynpôse family (the aforementioned Le 8) that focuses on volume, I was a bit confused. The reason being that Lancôme already has a truly exceptional and widely adored volumising mascara on offer. Monsieur Big has lashes looking long, full, voluminous and fluttery in a matter of seconds. Speaking with every bit of bias, this is probably my favourite mascara of all time. 

If this stuff is good enough for Meghan Markle, it's good enough for us mere mortals. Rather than coating lashes, it aims to plump them, creating a fanned-out effect with intense pigment. Truly, it's an astonishing mascara given its price.

It's rare for a makeup product to stand the test of time quite as well as this one has. Ten years ago, this mascara was everyone's go-to, and I feel safe in saying it probably still is. In fact, I can barely go one Tube journey in the morning without seeing someone whip this impressive mascara out of their makeup bag. The firm, sturdy brush clutches on to lashes, combs them out to reduce clumping and leaves them looking almost unbelievably voluminous and long.

Personally, I have always considered Superhero to be more of a lengthening mascara than a volumising one, but after reaching out to my beauty-editor friends in a bid to get some unbiased opinions for this roundup, I was proved wrong. In fact, nearly every beauty insider I know swears by the volumising powers of this iconic mascara. It lengthens, intensifies, thickens and treats the lashes all at once.

If you thought all eyelash curlers were made equal, think again. This set from Kevyn Aucoin gives lashes a lift that goes totally unrivalled.

Dot a pencil liner like this one into the lash line to create an illusion of fuller lashes.

If you prefer liquid liners or like to lift the eye with a wing, this pen from Rare Beauty is an absolute must-try.

When it comes to lash volume, priming your lashes can make all the difference to results. I know lots of makeup artists who always have this primer on hand to ensure that any mascara layered over the top works its hardest.

Keep lashes full and long by using a daily lash conditioner. Yes, Revitalash is expensive, but the results speak for themselves.

For when mascara isn't cutting it, these 3/4-length lashes are so natural-looking and beautiful that application is essentially fool-proof.
