Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara

£34 | Hourglass

“This has been my favourite mascara for a while. The brush catches every little lash, giving you incredible length and separation without looking heavy or clumpy. It’s also a tubing formula, so it doesn’t transfer throughout the day, comes in both black and brown and it’s easy to remove just with warm water.”

Lancôme Lash Idole Flutter Mascara

£22.40 (was £28.00) | Lancôme

“Lancôme creates some of the best mascaras – it’s a brand I always come back to. For me, it’s all about the wand – what I love about this is how small and precise the bristles are; they really allow you to get in close and catch even the tiniest lashes. It gives you that beautiful length, separation and definition without looking overly clumpy or heavy. Whether you have naturally curly lashes or ones that tend to point downwards, having a mascara that can properly separate, define and elongate each individual lash makes such a difference.”

Volume Effect Faux Cills Waterproof Mascara

£33 | YSL

“There’s nothing quite like this mascara, it’s been a staple of mine for over a decade. It’s inky black, elongates the lashes without clumping and builds enough volume in just one coat. It also holds a curl and doesn’t move throughout the day, withstanding rain, sweat and tears. The skinnier wand has smaller bristles, so it deposits the perfect amount of product while really gripping onto the lashes and coating each individual hair.”

Le Volume De Chanel Mascara

£38 | CHANEL

“There’s a reason Le Volume de Chanel has become such a classic. It’s the mascara I use when I want my lashes to feel like a statement in their own right. The brush builds volume, as well as lifting and defining. It creates that beautifully fanned-out effect that opens up the eyes. I love how you can keep it soft and understated for the day or build it up for something a little more dramatic at night.”

Roller Lash Lifting & Curling Mascara

£28 | Benefit

“I’m a bit promiscuous when it comes to mascara. I’ll try them all – the latest tubing formulas, sophisticated brush designs, next-generation curl-locking polymers – but I always come back to my Benefit Roller Lash. It lifts, curls, lengthens and separates without a clump in sight. I’m forever getting compliments – it’s the one mascara I recommend to absolutely everyone.”

Modern Mascara

£27 | Vieve

“As a make-up artist, I believe in having a ‘wardrobe’ of mascaras so you can create your perfect lash depending on the mood or look. I like to build my Vieve Modern Mascara up slowly to achieve a lengthened lash effect, starting at the roots and brushing upwards. I always come back to it because it gives me beautifully lengthened, defined lashes without looking overdone.”

Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara

£12.99 | Maybelline

“This is an absolute staple in my kit – it creates incredible length, lift and definition without weighing the lashes down and you can build it up for more drama without it turning clumpy. I love that it works just as beautifully for a natural, everyday lash as it does for a full glam look. Plus, it doesn’t budge. It’s one of those brilliant high-street products that delivers consistent, reliable results.”
