It's time to throw out everything you thought you knew about how mascara should look, because the times, they are a changing. Instead of clean, clump-free lashes of seasons past, the latest trend -- straight from the runways of brands like Prada, Gucci and Nanette Lepore -- is all about embracing the clumpy, spidery lashes you used to fear.

"There's a haphazard, bohemian sensibility that comes with this look that is reminiscent of youth and lightheartedness," says Sir John, L'Oréal Paris Celebrity Makeup Artist. Not to mention, the look totally increases your rock star vibe -- "[it] makes you feel like rock royalty no matter where you are or what you're doing." (Note: The first time I swiped on the new L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Miss Manga Rock Mascara, that's exactly how I felt ... and I am by no means a badass nor a rock star.)

So get ready. Embrace your inner rock star. Here, nine looks that will inspire you to try out the clumpy lash trend. Because natural-looking mascara can be so, well, basic.

Clumpy, full lashes look amazing against an otherwise no-makeup makeup look, as seen at the Ginger & Smart show in Australia.

Try: L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Miss Manga Rock Mascara, $7.99. This mascara was designed to give you perfectly undone lashes. "Wiggle the wand back and forth from the root - like you are brushing your teeth - for separation and then pull the brush up and out," explains Sir John. "If you want to get a grungier effect or if you have too much separation, do a fan motion just at the tip of lashes. This will give more 'fringe benefits.'"

If you're afraid bold mascara will cause your coworkers to give you side eye, you can simply add on a few extra coats of your regular mascara. "That way you still increase visual interest around the iris of the eye, but in a more minimal way," explains Sir John.

Try: Covergirl The SuperSizer by LashBlast Mascara, $6.85. The rubber bristles of the wand make it easy to coat every last lash in the volume-boosting formula; it's also ideal for layering, as the volume and length just builds and builds for fluttery, bold lashes that look subtly clumpy, but still dramatic.

The extreme, spidery lashes at Nanette Lepore's Fall 2015 show that you can go all out on both your upper and lower lashes for a truly eye-opening look. Your gaze goes right to her eyes, and that's no easy feat, considering she's also wearing purple lipstick (another trend we love).

Try: Maybelline Volum'Express The Colossal Chaotic Lash Mascara, $7.77. This mascara was designed with clumpy, voluminous, sexy lashes in mind. The giant brush allows the formula to be layered to get mega-volume. Sweep the tip across the tops of your lashes to get that undone rock star look.

The thing celebrity makeup artist Mickey Williams likes best about the clumpy lash trend: "You can really change the shape of the eye with a single product." Apply it thicker at the top and bottom centers to give yourself a wide-eyed doll look, or layer it on again and again to the outer corners for a sultry stare. We're particularly obsessed with this sexy look from Alberta Ferretti.

Try: Guerlain Maxi Lash So Volume, $30. I looked in the mirror and exclaimed "holy sh*t!" (in a good way) after putting on this mascara. One coat of the wet, volumizing formula gives you lush, bold lashes. To really amp up the drama, try adding three or more.
