The 8 Best Mascaras Of All Time
Kitten Lash Mascara
£29 | Lisa Eldridge
Rated By: Jenn George, Beauty Director
“I’m yet to find a 10/10 mascara (in my opinion) but this is a strong 9.5. The formula feels so lightweight, so the lift lasts for longer and the look is incredibly dainty and fluttery, although you can build it up to be more dramatic. It doesn’t smudge at all and come off almost like a tubing mascara.”

2000 Calorie Mascara
£7.49 (was £9.99) | Max Factor
Rated by: Rhea Cartwright, Beauty Contributor
“This mascara is a true make-up artist fave – there’s a reason it’s been around for 30 years. The brush is the perfect size and shape for creating full-looking lashes without any clumps and it’s never let me down.”

Lash Idole Flutter Ext Midi Mascara
£14 | Lancôme
Rated by: Alex Steinherr, Beauty Contributor
“This is the lash equivalent of a post-break-up glow-up: suddenly everyone’s asking what you’ve done differently. The clever brush catches every single lash (even the baby ones) and stretches them into something fluttery, flirty and gloriously unbothered by flakes or smudges.”

Inimitable Intense Mascara
£37 | Chanel
Rated by: Lu Hough, Fashion & Creative Director
“It’s actually embarrassing that I’m willing to spend this much on a mascara but nothing else compares. As someone with long but fine lashes, it builds up in all the right places, the brush never gets clumpy and it gives me the length and definition I need. It also comes off really easily.”

Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara
£25.60 (was £32) | Hourglass
Rated by: Sapna Rao, Fashion & Beauty Editor & Broadcaster
"I've had a love-hate relationship with mascaras over the years. My lashes are pretty thick and need something fairly heavy duty to get them looking long and voluminous – but I still want them to look separated and defined. Few came close, but this one really is the best of both worlds. The cherry on top? The tubing formula comes off so easily."

Future Lash Mascara
£32 | Victoria Beckham Beauty
Rated by: Nana Acheampong, Fashion Broadcaster & Editor
“My favourite mascara dates back to when VB first did her first beauty collaboration with Estée Lauder in 2016. The mascara she created then is very similar to this – it’s the only mascara that gives me length and separation to give my lashes that fluttery look.”

Lash Volumiser 38°C
£34 | Sensai
Rated by: Orin Carlin, Beauty Writer
“Serial smudgers, this one's for you. Make-up artist Mary Greenwell got me hooked onto this years ago and it remains my most reached-for mascara. Flattering and dependable, it gives you a winning combination of separation and lift, and yet actually stays put thanks to the clever tubing formula.”

LashLift Mascara
£20 | Sculpted By Aimee
Rated by: Polly Sayer, Fashion Broadcaster
“This is my current favourite – it's got a nice thick wand that lengthens and fans out my lashes perfectly with zero clumps. It's also the first time I've gone for brown mascara over black and I love the slightly softer look. I'd never go back.”
