8 Best Mascaras

Testers praised Maybelline’s Total Temptation for separating lashes, not clumping and creating a natural, subtle look that’s perfect for everyday wear. The large brush has a bit of a learning curve, but offers smooth application that remains clump-free throughout multiple coats.

One user said, “It made my eyelashes look thick and lush and it was super buildable.” You’ll just need one coat for long, separated lashes, but two to three coats delivers volumized lashes “with virtually no smearing  … even as the day goes on (and during yoga class!).”

This affordable pick beat out all the other products because of its great definition and curl without clumping. The wand is curved to mimic the shape of your eye and since the bristles are packed tightly together, clumps never have the chance to form between.

Even after 60 strokes, lashes didn’t clump (but did look lush, full and glam).
