Lash Slick Lift & Lengthening Mascara, £20 | Glossier

For a pretty, your-lashes-but-better effect, you can’t beat Glossier’s Lash Slick. It’s one of the best mascaras out there for a fresh, natural flutter – and thanks to its polymer-powered formula, it won’t budge either. The slim, pliable wand adds length and curl – especially to the outer corners – without leaving that uncomfortable, weighty feeling behind.

Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara, £35 | Dior

Poker-straight lashes are a cruel curse, but for immediate relief, Dior’s Iconic Overcurl is a godsend. Eliminating the need for the traditional curler step, it does all the hard work for you, fanning out your lashes into a sexy, kittenish curl. The curved wand actually hugs short, stubborn lashes to ensure maximum drama. Build it up with a couple of coats.

Lash Lift Mascara, £22 | Sweed

If you want to look instantly more awake, try Sweed’s Lash Lift. The slender, one-sided brush looks unusual, but it’s surprisingly effective. Designed to coat the hairs directly from the root, it adds definition to the lash line, creating the illusion of tight liner. Don’t panic if you can’t nail the technique on the first go – there’s a knack to it. The cool tone is also similar to dark chocolate rather than the unflattering warm auburn of some brown mascaras.

MyMascara, £18 | Sculpted By Aimee

For maximum impact, try Sculpted By Aimee’s MyMascara. Mimicking the shape of the eye, the curved wand allows you to nestle it in there and get a good level of lift. It makes your lashes look full and fluttery with just one coat – go in with a second layer if you love a thick, going-out lash. Best suited to those wanting drama rather than a stripped-back look, it works well alongside a wash of cream eyeshadow for a speedy smokey eye.

Mascara Terrybly, £37 | By Terry

Maximising short, sparse lashes long-term is best achieved by regularly applying a lash growth serum. But for day to day, the thick, textured brush on By Terry’s Terrybly mascara allows you to add depth and volume. The lash-friendly formula is nourishing and gentle, powered by collagen, plant protein, hyaluronic acid and the brand’s Lumicoat Care technology.

Eye Want You Mascara, £42 | Westman Atelier

Westman Atelier’s Eye Want You is the one to invest in if you dislike the feeling of heavy eye make-up. A creamy blend of plant-based waxes and shea butter, the formula feels light and unobtrusive on the lashes – ideal for everyday wear. The vibe is polished and fresh, but if you want extra definition, you can still build it up without it turning clumpy.

Volume Million Lashes Panorama Mascara, £12.99 | L'Oreal Paris

L'Oréal’s much-hyped Panorama is one of this year’s biggest mascara launches, and it has already found its way into the kit bags of many top make-up artists. The brush features both short and long bristles, designed to catch each individual lash and give you that fluttery, dramatic effect. Crucially, the wand comes out of the tube covered in the right amount of product so it doesn’t make a mess, and after the first coat you can even use it to gently comb through the lashes for extra separation.
