Splurge-Worthy
Le Volume De Chanel’ by Chanel
“I have at least four different mascaras in my makeup bag, but the one I can’t stop reaching for is the ‘Le Volume De Chanel’ by Chanel ($32) in shade Noir 10. This mascara is luxurious and long lasting. It’s a wonderful alternative if you aren’t quite ready for lash extensions. It gives you thickness and length, the best of both worlds.” – Chloe’ Flowers, Wellness Contributor

Dior’s DiorShow
Milk Makeup Kush Mascara
“For me, mascara is the one product I can’t compromise on – which is why I’m constantly searching for the holy grail of length, volume and an inky black finish. Always on rotation are Dior’s DiorShow ($30) for high drama and L’Oreal’s Lash Architect for length – but lately I’m loving Milk Makeup’s thick and luscious Kush Mascara ($24). Epic.” – Charisse Kenion, Beauty Contributor

Rimmel’s Day 2 Night Waterproof Mascara
“I’m a huge of bold and beautiful lashes but I don’t always want to break the bank to achieve the look. I’m lucky enough to have somewhat long lashes, but volume is the one thing I’m constantly trying to achieve. I’ve been using Rimmel’s Day 2 Night Waterproof Mascara ($7.59) and absolutely loving it.” – Alyx Carolus, Social Media & Contributor

Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara
“I have really short eyelashes and Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara ($5) is definitely my favorite. It gives me just the right amount of length and definition without flaking or clumping up my lashes. I also love that it’s affordable, I’ve spent way too much money trying to find lengthening formulas like this one.” – Chinea Rodriguez, Beauty and Fashion Contributor

Long-Time Favorites
“They’re Real” Lengthening Mascara
“My love for Benefit Cosmetics started in high school when I would get my eyebrows done at their first shops in San Francisco. Even though the company has greatly grown since then, there are still some products that I remain loyal. Their “They’re Real” Lengthening Mascara ($25) never lets me down.” – Roki Prunali, Director of Business and Brand Development
