Try: NYX Cosmetics Doll Eye Long Lash Mascara, $10
One of the most affordable in the bunch, what this mascara lacks in cost it makes up for in quality. On par with many of its pricier counterparts, we couldn't get over the doe-eyed, high-glam results after just a couple of light-handed coats. The brand's most advanced formula yet, it was specifically created to lengthen and extend lashes with micro fibers that emulate the texture, shape and volume of our natural fringe, while conditioning oils and vitamin E fortify lashes to protect against damage and future dry-out. Obsessed.

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.
