Three things are necessary to take with you to a deserted island: food, water, and mascara. Eyelashes are one of the ultimate forms of femininity, and can make or break a look. You can curl them, coat them, and coyly bat them at anyone who walks by. In honor of National Lash Day, here are the top three best mascaras for all your makeup needs.Â
1. The Lengthener : L’OrĂ©al Telescopic
As a slightly less-than-proud owner of particularly short and stubby eyelashes, I can’t help but promote the Telescopic mascara. Armed with a thin plastic wand with short bristles, this mascara aims to extend your lashes sky high. It gives a casual look, as the mascara doesn’t provide much volume, but as people pass you by, they won’t be able to help but admire how your eyelashes are so long that they brush your brow-bone.
2. The Volumizer: Clinique High Impact Extreme Volume
For those nights you need to feel like Kim Kardashian, splurge a little on Clinique’s High Impact Extreme Volume mascara. The price is no joke, but neither is the effect. They’re not kidding when they say “extreme volume.” With the aid of thick bristles and a heavy formula, your eyelashes will be the Beyoncé of the makeup world. It’s pricey, but this one is worth it just to feel like you’re rocking the red carpet.
3. The Everyday Option: Covergirl Lashblast Volume
This is the oldie-but-goodie of mascaras. It’s been advertised in Seventeen Magazine since you were a 13-year-old covertly perusing the pages. This trusty orange tube will provide you with a safe and ready-to-go daily look that enhances your natural lashes. You won’t look ready for an award show, but you’ll definitely look ready for your 8 a.m class. On top of that, it’s crazy affordable and available at almost every drugstore.Â
Whatever your occasion calls for, these mascaras will be up to the challenge! Spruce them up, or rock them natural, but be sure to celebrate the simplicity of your beautiful eyelashes.
