Covergirl Exhibitionist Mascara
Lengthening
This 2019 BIA winner visibly lengthens and thickens after just one — yes, as in a single — coat. Plus, the curvy wand helps grip and plump the tiniest of lashes.

L'Oréal Unlimited Length and Lift Mascara
Lengthening
The bendy wand on L'Oréal's Unlimited mascara defies everything we thought we knew about drugstore mascara. However, the genius behind the flexible wand goes much deeper than novelty factor alone: It allows you to get this close to the lash line to coat each lash from root to tip.

If you're looking for ultra-fluttery, defined lashes, then this curling and lengthening formula is the one for you.

L'Oréal Voluminous Carbon Black Volume Building Mascara
Volumizing
This mascara is an editor and consumer favorite for a reason: It seriously plumps lashes. The fat brush has hundreds of tiny bristles that grab every hair and coat it with a volumizing formula that layers easily without veering into clumpy or crunchy territory.

Maybelline Volum' Express The Rocket Waterproof Mascara
Waterproof
This mascara is a classic for a reason — its densely packed plastic bristles make it super-easy to coat every single lash with a layer of volumizing formula. Add a little waterproof action into the mix, and your mascara won't be going anywhere — whether you're sweating it up at the gym or trudging through a rainstorm.

COVERGIRL LashBlast Volume Mascara
