8 Best Mascaras

BEST MASCARA FOR SENSITIVE EYES

Lash Blast Volume Mascara

COVERGIRL

Hypoallergenic, water-resistant formula
Top Lab scores for volumizing, lengthening and separating lashes
Creates a natural look

After more than 10 years in the industry, this budget-friendly mascara is our beauty director’s favorite, and the hypoallergenic formula won’t irritate sensitive eyes. The comb-like wand and plastic bristles define lashes and give a natural-looking, separated look without adding too much bulk.

In our consumer tests, it got high scores for smooth application, volumizing, lengthening and separating lashes, and the formula got near-perfect marks for water-resistance, too. It’s also a reviewer-favorite, amassing over 20,000 reviews on Amazon. As a GH Seal-holder, we stand behind its performance with a limited two-year warranty.

BEST CLUMP-FREE MASCARA

Maneater Mascara

TARTE

Top Lab scores for lengthening and volumizing without clumps
High impact in just one coat
Long wand with rubber bristles to coat every lash

If you want dark, dramatic lashes with the least amount of effort, this is the mascara for you. Testers especially loved the flexible applicator, which features a longer-than-usual wand and 500 rubbery, spiky bristles which comb through lashes to separate and lengthen.

Testers said this “made it very easy to apply and … less likely to clump,” and deemed it best at lengthening and volumizing without clumping.
