Mascara recommendations??

2025/4/16 Edited to

... Read moreTrying to find the perfect mascara can feel like a never-ending quest, right? I totally know the struggle! While my current obsession is definitely the Tower 28 mascara for its incredible length and definition – it truly makes my lashes pop without any clumping – I've also experimented with countless other mascara brands on my journey to finding that ideal lash look. And believe me, there's a perfect pick out there for everyone, whether you're after dramatic volume, feathery length, or even a super natural, barely-there enhancement. Beyond my everyday Tower 28 go-to, I’ve found a few other gems worth mentioning if you're exploring different options. For incredible length and a lifted look, the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara has been a game-changer for so many. It really extends every single lash! If you're into a more curled and separated effect, Benefit's Roller Lash is fantastic – it grips and curls like magic. And for classic, buildable volume that never disappoints, L'Oréal Voluminous Original Mascara remains a staple in many makeup bags, including mine on days I want that extra oomph. Now, let's talk about a type of mascara that often gets overlooked but is seriously versatile: *transparent mascara*. When I first heard 'best transparent mascara,' I wasn't sure what to expect, but it's become a secret weapon in my beauty routine! It's not just for those 'no-makeup' makeup days, though it excels at giving a clean, polished look without any color. I love using it to define my lashes subtly, especially on days when I just want to look a little more put-together without committing to a full face of makeup. It's also brilliant for taming unruly eyebrows – a quick swipe and they stay perfectly in place all day. For a super affordable and effective option, the Essence Lash & Brow Gel Mascara is a total winner. It’s clear, holds well, and doesn't feel sticky. Another classic is the Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara, which is a multi-tasker I’ve used for both lashes and brows for years. If you're looking for something a bit more luxe and specifically excellent for brow hold (but can totally be used on lashes for definition), Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel is fantastic. So, whether you're still on the hunt for your perfect mascara or just curious about trying something new, don't be afraid to experiment with different brands and types. There's a whole world of mascaras out there, from volumizing to lengthening, and yes, even the wonderfully understated transparent kind, waiting to transform your lashes!

These are a bunch of mascaras that I use and my thoughts <3 I don’t usually curl my lashes (my lash curler is shaped kinda weird so usually I get more eyelid than lashes 😂), and my lashes are long and slightly curled Tags | #fyp #fyplemon8 #mascara #makeup #eyemakeup

An overhead flat lay shows various mascara tubes arranged vertically on a light-colored surface. A pink text overlay reads 'RATING MY MASCARAS' and mentions evaluating them for Asian lashes that don't hold a curl.
Two mascara tubes, one regular and one waterproof, are displayed with a 9/10 rating. Text highlights the waterproof version as better, not heavy, holding a curl well, and best when slightly dried out.
A single pink mascara tube is shown with a 4/10 rating. Text describes it as heavy, weighing down lashes, not holding a curl, but providing good volume and staying on well.

These are the two mascaras I’ve gravitated towards over the years. Let me tell you, less is more!!! The Maybelline Sky High is my ride or die mascara. The lift and volume is so high, sometimes I don’t even need an eyelash curler. The thin and firm brush makes the finished look not clumpy at all
