I love long eye lashes! I have tried countless mascaras in hopes of finding the perfect mascara that never clumps, never flakes or rubs off under my eye, and that never looks like I'm wearing too much mascara. Over the years I have had one mascara that for me, is my holy grail mascara. It is my False Lashes mascara in Extreme Black by MAC Cosmetics.
False Lashes Extreme Black, Mac Cosmetics, $21.
It easily separates, lengthens and thickens my lashes without looking too overdone or too heavy. It is in the darkest black and is so easy to apply with the straight, closely wired wand. The formula sticks together throughout the day and even when the tube is beginning to dry out the mascara actually gives more volume! How is that even possible? I think it has to do with the mascara sticking together more at the base... But either way this mascara is definitely worth trying out.

The Fase Lashes by Mac Cosmetics comes in your choice of False Lashes Extreme Back (my personal favorite), Black, Blue, Plum, Eggplant, Brown, and if you prefer, even a waterproof formula.

If you crave more voluminous lashes I also recommend my second favorite mascara. I have just tried the sample sizes so far but I am already in love! It is the Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Mascara. This mascara is great for coating lashes, and with the small round tip, the wand makes it easy to get the corner and bottom lashes. It adds shine to your lashes and does not flake off throughout the day.

I love coating my lashes with my MAC False Lashes first and then before the mascara dries I add on a layer of this Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Mascara to the top and bottom. The shine gives your lashes the false lashes effect without the sticky lash glue and fake lash feel.

Another great alternative to these higher end brand mascaras is the L'Oreal Voluminus Lash Out Butterfly Mascara. This mascara will literally give your lashes so much length with its unique arched wand, however I feel that it does more to separate and elongate my lashes than it does to voluminize.

If you crave even more volume, I recommend pairing it with the Benefit Cosmetics mascara mentioned above. This mascara goes on so smooth and with the arched applicator, it makes it easy to mimic the butterfly winged effect with one sweep. I was impressed by the formula and found it to be a great drugstore alternative for the MAC False Lashes mascara.

My secret weapon: to layer all three mascaras starting with MAC's False Lashes, then Benefit's They're Real!, and finally finishing the look with L'Oreal's Voluminous Lash Out Butterfly Mascara

These three mascaras have really stuck out from the rest as I'm always trying new ones. It's great to experiment as new formulas promise a better version than before. Do you have a mascara that is your favorite through thick and thin? I would love to hear your recommendations! Please comment below!
