Speaking of flaking: In general, you should keep in mind that mascaras typically expire after three months (so take note of the date you opened your tube).And the challenge.To help narrow down the options, we spoke to 19 makeup artists about their favorite mascaras, whether they be waterproof, clump-proof, flakeproof, or vegan.
No matter which you choose, heres a tip from makeup artist Lauren Aiello on the best technique for generally enhancing thickness and giving you an extra lift: After applying a coat to the underside of your lashes, look down and apply one to the top, starting from the root and combing through, flicking upwards at the ends. And of course, to magnify the results, always go for a second coat. Aiello calls it a personal favorite because it gives immediate lift and volume in just one coat but is also easily buildable for more intensity. If youre going for that super-dramatic lash, Aiellos tip is to add a light dusting of translucent powder in between coats, which helps mascara cling to lashes better and amps up the thickness. Makeup artist Clara Rae agrees that this formula is super-buildable and adds that she loves the brushs hourglass shape, which curves inwards in the middle, enabling you to angle it in multiple ways to coat each lash. ![]() According to Burrell, just as with blow-drying your hair, the fatter the mascara brush, the more volume you get. Because the Pat McGrath brush is on the thicker end of the spectrum, expect it to give you lots of volume. Makeup artist Amy Zdunowski-Roeder agrees and says this mascara has been her favorite to use on clients. The formula is so pigmented, smooth, and creamy, and the product truly lengthens lashes and is completely buildable, she says. It stays on all day without fail, and the fact that it is non-clumping makes it even more of a winner. While it is a higher-end option, Pat McGraths namesake line has a devoted following, especially among other makeup artists, for a reason: Her products deliver dramatic results. She particularly loves this ones compact, easily maneuverable brush, which can grab both hard-to-reach short and bottom lashes. While the brush is not quite as fat or well designed as a more expensive mascaras would be, for your money it still performs well. As always, Shackleton suggests applying two to three coats to get the best results. This mascara gives a subtle lift and tint with no noticeable clumps, so while your lashes wont appear superthick or dramatic, you will get just enough curl to draw attention to and open up your eyes. And since Maybelline is priced in the more affordable range, Pea sees this as an opportunity to go ahead and buy yourself two tubes: the regular version for your top lashes and the waterproof version for the bottom ones to avoid raccoon eyes. Although waterproof mascara is more difficult to remove, when youre dealing with the thinner bottom lashes, less scrubbing is involved.) The mini-brush really hits those hard-to-reach lashes on the inner and outer corners and distributes a nice, even coat of product while separating and adding length to the lash, says Aiello. And if you prefer natural-looking lashes with more volume, makeup artist Anabelle LaGuardia is a fan of the just-as-affordable Maybelline Falsies Volume Express Mascara. Makeup artist Pauline Briscoe adds that this mascara gives your lashes the illusion of being thicker and fuller. Plus, the tips at the end of the uniquely designed brush work with the product to separate and define your lashes. The domed brush also features staggered bristles that grab lashes from the root, while the rich, long-wearing pigment keeps them looking great all day. Since this mascara can be difficult to take off, youll want to use a gentle oil-based remover, like Rios favorite, Glossier Milky Oil. She explains that the formula coats lashes in polymers to give a more elastic length that is non-flaking and non-smudging.
