    “Eyeko Black Magic Mascara—two coats and I have absolutely perfect thick, dark lashes for days. Not too thick—as in clumpy or noticeably fake or what I’d call ‘reality TV level,’ just really healthy and full. It also doesn’t end up all over my face by 4:00 p.m. At night, one more coat and I’m set.”

    “I love Benefit’s Roller Lash Curling Lifting mascara. First off, I’m not a big mascara fan—I have sensitive eyes, and most are way too clumpy for my taste. My entire opinion of mascara changed when I started using Benefit. The rubber handle is easy to grip, which means you won’t slip and accidentally swipe your skin instead of your lashes. And, the mascara itself is light yet still lengthening, so your eyelashes don’t feel like they re covered in gunk after an application.”

    “Charlotte Tilbury s Legendary Lashes Black Vinyl is the only mascara I have tried that really elongates and thickens. According to Charlotte (because I asked her), it’s due to the way she designed the brush—all her beauty knowledge and experience went into it and it works!”

    “In my opinion, mascara should darken and lengthen but never be apparent. Lancôme Définicils does exactly this. No matter how many new formulas I try, I always come back to this classic (there’s a reason they’ve been making it for years!). I go over my eyelashes with a bare mascara wand afterward to get rid of any flakes.”
