Try: Kevyn Aucoin The Expert Mascara, $29

When it comes to mascara, stiff and caked together lashes are the stuff of nightmares -- that unfortunate (yet common) phenomenon when just a couple of reasonable, well-intentioned coats result in a clumpy, droopy mess. Luckily, Kevyn Aucoin's new Expert mascara is the exact antithesis -- delivering soft, plush, customizable length and volume that has us praising the mascara gods. Uniquely formulated with Japanese camelia oil, lashes are instantly strengthened and made more resilient -- aka, they'll look better even when you aren't wearing mascara. Another bonus is the two-sided brush, which is designed to make Aucoin's signature lash technique (the upward and outward "sweep") a piece of cake for even the most inept of appliers.

The mascara is fortified with rich ingredients like olive oil and nylon, which maintain lashes over time. Better yet? The formula is one of the easiest to remove -- all you'll need is warm water.
