The Deal Breaker: It Won't Come Off -- Ever! Your Mascara Soulmate: Kevyn Aucoin The Volume Mascara, $28
Why You'll Love It: Yes, this mascara is almost $30, and yes, it's only .18 ounces (most are around .28 ounces), but this mascara has garnered a cult following for a reason. It's a flake-free, smudge-proof, volumizing mascara that is a lash game-changer.
It's a tubing mascara, which means the product forms a literal tube around your eyelash that won't smudge or budge all day. And it comes off with practically a flick of your finger and some water. The tubes slide off lashes with water and light pressure.
The teeny-tiny brush coats lashes so evenly, you'd think a teeny-tiny man stood on your eyelid and individually painted them. Don't spend too much time coating your lashes, though -- tubing formulas set quickly, so any more than a couple coats and you get into clump territory.
Runner-up: Blinc Mascara Amplified, $26
Formulated with the same tubing technology, this mascara is a cinch to remove, and nary a flake fell under my eye area while wearing it. You do sacrifice some of the volume that comes with more buildable mascaras, but I'll take that over the stinging and redness that accompanies removing my non-tubing mascara.
