‎ Phyto-Noir Mascara 1

£56 | Sisley

Sisley’s Phyto-Noir Mascara sits at the pricier end of the spectrum, but the attention to detail is clear. The hourglass-shaped brush adds intensity, defining each lash without verging into clumpy territory. If your lashes are naturally lacking, the peptide-rich formula is also designed to encourage growth.

Le Volume De Chanel

£36 | Chanel

The wand on Le Volume De Chanel features stacked disks to grip each lash and add drama. If you’re after a flattering combination of both lift and length, make this your go-to. Our tip is to nestle it tight into the lash line for extra definition, as well as creating the illusion of eye liner. It also lasts well, so there’s no need to fear ‘panda eyes’ come mid-afternoon.

‎ MyMascara

£18 | Sculpted By Aimee

Sculpted By Aimee’s MyMascara is great for lift, making you look instantly more awake. Echoing the curvature of the lash line, the shape of the wand allows you to create a fanned-out effect, but it’s still buildable if you’re after extra volume. We love the brown version for a softer, more subtle alternative to classic jet black.

‎ Exagger-Eyes Volume Mascara

£28 | Charlotte Tilbury

For those seeking a good old going-out lash, Charlotte Tilbury’s Exagger-Eyes is hard to beat. Spotted backstage at London Fashion Week, this new launch is being used by make-up artists to build a high-impact, fan-like flutter. If you don’t like the weightiness of a thicker lash, steer clear. Otherwise, this works perfectly alongside a slick of liner.

Volume Million Lashes Panorama Mascara

£9.74 (was £12.99) | L'Oreal Paris

One of the most hyped mascara launches of the year, we can confirm that L’Oréal’s Panorama Mascara lives up to expectations. It features a slim pliable wand with a tapered end to help you get into those hard-to-reach inner corners. If you can’t be bothered with falsies, this will do the trick – plus, it’s almost always on offer.

‎ Lash Volumiser 38°C

£34 | Sensai

Tubing formulas, which coat each lash in a tube-like casing, last better than their wax-based counterparts. Even on serial smudgers, Sensai’s Lash Volumiser 38°C stays put. Named after the water temperature at which it rinses off, it has a compact, triple-spiral wand that is never saturated in too much product. It’s entirely buildable, and you don’t need great lashes to see a satisfying result.

‎ Vast Lash Mascara

£32 | Victoria Beckham Beauty

If your lashes are naturally poker straight, Vast Lash is great for creating a curled, lifted effect. The curl actually lasts, whereas with many other formulas it can tend to drop after a few hours of wear. Fortified with Tahitian sea microalgae and vitamins, the formula is designed to support all-important keratin production and prevent breakage – ideal if your lashes are sparse.
