8 Best Hypoallergenic Mascaras of 2022

A Good Housekeeping Seal star and one of the GH Beauty Lab’s top-tested mascaras of all time, this does-it-all CoverGirl mascara is also hypoallergenic. GH experts used the Lab’s Visia Complexion Analyzer device to measure transformation in length and volume through magnified before-and-after photos, and it scored high with consumer testers for going on smoothly, volumizing, lengthening, and separating lashes. The formula also earned near-perfect marks in water-resistance tests — no smearing, smudging, or running after testers splashed their faces 10 times with warm H2O. That means that even if tears come, the mascara will stay put.

Ophthalmologically-tested, Essence’s tapered wand was a winner and best bargain drugstore mascara of a past GH Beauty Lab test. It received top ranking in Lab evaluations for lengthening, volumizing, and curling lashes. “My new go-to mascara,” a tester said. It made lashes fuller, longer, and darker.
