Clinique High Impact Waterproof Mascara, $19.50 I think buildability is a very important characteristic in a mascara. One coat gives you definition, but you can layer five-plus coats for volume and drama -- and it won't get too clumpy. My lashes are long but sparse so volume is really important to me, and this one gets the job done -- Dawn Davis, New York City Editor

I wish there was a mascara that didn't smudge all under the eyes. I have short fine lashes, and can't find anything that doesn't make me look like a panda after a short while.

I was surprised not to see Benefit's "They're Real!" on this list. It is truly amazing! It's not waterproof, but it will truly make your lashes look better than fake ones.

Good list.

I really wish they posted photos of someone who had used all of these. It would be really helpful.

I definitely will be picking a few of these up!

Fantastic!! I actually just bought the Clinique Waterproof that is the first one listed and so far I really like it. It definitely needs to be layered to get a really full look, but I like the brush design and it does not clump. I maybe try one or two of the others because I am on the search for a REALLY solid waterproof mascara for my upcoming wedding (and the weather--after I walked to the office during a snowstorm and discovered an hour into the day that I had mascara all over my face).

Some of these are ok.

Funny, because the model is clearly wearing fake lashes...
