Why You'll Love It: When I see someone blinking at me with clumpy mascara, I want to whip out my eyelash comb and painstakingly separate each lash right then and there. But if everyone wore this mascara, I would never have to suppress this urge, because no one would have clumps ever again.
This mascara comes equipped with a dual-ended brush that allows you to first comb through your lashes and then add volume. One mascara-obsessed editor, who once ordered an entire case of her favorite mascara on eBay when it was discontinued, deemed this "the best mascara [she's] ever tried."
Runner up: CoverGirl Clump Crusher by LashBlast, $6.09 For everyday wear, this mascara takes the cake. Zero clumps, natural-looking lashes and a buildable formula.

Beauty editor confession: I hate mascara. I hate it so much that I frequently spend large stretches of time on a treatment table with my eyes taped shut, getting falsies glued to my lashes. Yep, even the torture of eyelash extensions was preferable to applying and removing eye makeup every day and night. I loved my extensions almost as much as I hated mascara -- until they made my lashes short, stubby and unhealthy.
Forced to abandon my extensions while my lashes could grow back, I decided it was time to find a mascara that I could love without reservation. Because even though I crave fluttery, long-as-sin lashes, I can't stand the clumps, smears and flakes that come with trying to achieve them.
I had a strict list of stellar qualities I was looking for in a mascara -- I wanted it to stay on all day, but also be easy to remove; it needed to be lengthening without being crusty or clumpy; and I wanted it to curl without the use of an eyelash curler (because those break off my already-delicate lashes). After testing out 30 different formulas with every type of wand, I've finally found them: the best clump-free, smudge-proof, long-lasting, easy-to-remove lengthening and volumizing mascaras that turned me into a believer -- and will do the same for you.
