8 of the best new mascaras out there

This smudge-proof and water-resistant mascara promises to leave your lashes lengthened and volumised for up to an insane 36 hours (though we don’t endorse falling asleep in your makeup ever)! The innovative formula also contains aero-particles (derived from space technology) and pro-vitamin B5 to ensure your lashes aren’t weighed down and are kept thick and strong.

Talk about a customisable lash look. This packaging features a squeezable base that, when pumped, builds the formula onto the brush for a more dramatic finish sans clumping. Alternatively, if you’d prefer a more natural look, simply skip the pumping stage (or give the base one small squeeze) and swipe away.

Don’t let the unusual wand scare you off! The full-bristle side works to create dramatic volume at the roots, while the opposite brush tip adds detailed definition at the ends. This 2-in-1 wand function ensures lashes are left looking thick and fluffy without any telltale clumping.

While certainly not for the faint of heart, Yves Saint Laurent’s Mascara Vinyl Couture instantly frames eyes with a pop of high-impact colour, without compromising on volume, definition and length. Infused with argan, carthame, castor and sweet almond oils, the formula conditions lashes while making a statement.

This double-effect mascara features two wand positions – the first creates incredible length and definition, while the second, (which is achieved with a simple twist of the handle), effectively enhances volume for a more intense lash look. Enriched with natural protective oils, the formula can be reapplied throughout the day without the risk of smudging or flaking.

No longer does removing waterproof makeup have to be such a chore! Thanks to an innovative lash caring complex, this waterproof mascara (which has been specifically formulated for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers) can be easily removed without any scrubbing or pulling. Simply wipe with makeup remover or micellar water and you’re done.

Side note: We also love how well the formula curls and separates lashes, making it the perfect weekday mascara.

If you’re all about mascaras that create length, length and more length then Urban Decay’s Troublemaker Mascara will be right up your alley. With nourishing vitamin E to condition lashes and hollow silica to add length and volume, this mascara is sure to knock your socks off.

The freshest mascara on the block (it’s launching in July!), this newbie from Maybelline has already received rave reviews from our Review Crew® and we foresee great things in its future. Featuring a formula that volumises and lengthens in one shot, you can also expect the coconut-infused formula to leave lashes soft and nourished. But don’t take our word for it, just take a look at the reviews.
