16 best mascaras with rave reviews

Your Holy Grail mascara, found
Ask any girl what her desert island essential is and she’ll probably reply ‘mascara’ without hesitation. If you then ask her what’s the one Holy Grail product she’s still trying to find, again, mascara is probably the answer. One tube can do SO many wonderful things for our entire look, and yet hunting down the perfect formula is no easy feat. Perhaps it’s the sheer amount of options that we don’t have the time or money to trial, or the long list of criteria we expect it to deliver – lengthening! Volumising! Curling! Waterproof! Nourishing! It may have a small job to do but it has big shoes to fill.
Luckily, we happen to know of some really great ones. So, if you’re still trying to find the best mascara to replace your current close-enough one, let these best mascara reviews help you on your way to reaching your lash goals.
