Vast Lash Mascara, £32 | Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham’s Vast Lash is loved by beauty editors, and so its appearance on this list is hardly a surprise. Infused with niacinamide to encourage all-important keratin production and prevent lash breakage, the formula is specifically designed to deliver high-impact, long-lasting volume. Plus, it stands up in the heat – according to VB herself, it’s ‘Miami-proof’.

Lash Volumiser 38°C, £34 | Sensai

A true jet-black mascara is surprisingly difficult to find, but Sensai’s Lash Volumiser 38°C is exactly that. Named after the water temperature at which it rinses off, the artfully designed triple-spiral brush is unexpectedly precise, allowing you to coat each individual lash – including those hard-to-reach inner corners. Expect flawless separation for a full, fan-like flutter.

Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara, £31 | Hourglass

For the utmost precision, the super-slim, pliable wand on Hourglass’ Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara is hard to beat. Housed in weighty gold casing, it not only looks the part, but is easy to apply both close to the lash line and on the bottom lashes without adding any bulk. One coat delivers a pretty, natural lash, but it can be built up into a more voluminous, going-out effect if that’s what you’re after.

Clean Lash Mascara, £28 | Merit

Certified cool-girl label Merit has delivered hit after hit since it launched back in 2021, and its Clean Lash mascara is no exception. As the name would suggest, the effect isn’t wildly dramatic but fresh and modern instead. Plus, if your lashes are sparse or damaged, the addition of fatty acids and olive oil offer extra nourishment.

Stand Up Tubing Mascara, £14 | Indu

Industry newcomer Indu’s Stand Up mascara is full of jojoba oil and vegetable waxes, so the formula feels nourishing and gentle on brittle lashes. The silicone brush features staggered bristles too, allowing for even distribution and a lengthy, clump-free finish. Satisfyingly compact, it’s the ideal travel partner for a summer city getaway.

High Impact Zero Gravity, £25 | Clinique

Clinique’s entire mascara range performs well but its High Impact Zero Gravity stands out. The curved brush coats each lash with a generous layer of product, creating a dramatic, weightless curl. If you’re seeking lift and would rather skip the traditional curler step, this mascara will do the hard work for you.

Lash Slick, £20 | Glossier

Glossier’s Lash Slick requires a fair amount of back-and-forth wiggling to build up the desired effect, but when applied correctly, it delivers an outstanding curl, especially on the outer corners. The vibe is more your-lashes-but-better – similar to that of subtle extensions. For a more pared-back look, try the brown shade.
