Thanks to gentler formulas and higher-quality ingredients, the latest now keep lashes looking better for longer – without any irritation, flaking or smudging. Here are seven that have our seal of approval…

## High Impact™ Waterproof Mascara 



#### £26 | Clinique 



 

A true icon amongst make-up products, this mascara has been around for decades (albeit with a few updates along the way) and stands up to even the most modern of formulas . It’s incredibly long-lasting – even when faced with high humidity or ugly tears.

*Available at* [CLINIQUE.CO.UK](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=37401&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.clinique.co.uk%2Fproduct%2F1606%2F24805%2Fmakeup%2Fmascara%2Fhigh-impacttm-waterproof-mascara)

## Limitless Lash Mascara 



#### £28 | Ilia Beauty 



 

With a dual-sided wand (one brush-like, one more like a comb to separate) this formula glides on to create budge-proof tubes around each lash, which won’t come off unless you absolutely drench them in warm water. If you’re fairer haired (or just prefer a more subtle finish) Ilia offers a brown option too, which offers the same brilliant finish in a rich chesnut-y tone.

## Kitten Lash Mascara 



#### £29 | Lisa Eldridge 



 

Trust Lisa Eldridge to make a mascara that’s lightweight, voluminous, lengthening and truly smudge proof. One coat gives you a natural looking fluffy finish, but you can easily build it up for more drama. For something different, try the ‘Burnt Umber’ shade, a flattering reddish-brown.

## Perfect Strokes Universal Volumizing Mascara 



#### £21 | Rare Beauty 



 

When you’re a Selenator or not, there’s no denying the quality of many of her make-up products –you’ll find the liquid blusher in many a beauty editor’s make-up bag and this mascara is also high up the list. Volumising and with a good curling effect, it refuses to clump, so you can build it to the most dramatic, va-va-voom level without things getting messy.

## Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara 



#### £12.99 | Maybelline 



 

Maybelline is always a go-to for affordable make-up. Its Sky High mascara does exactly what it says on the tin, lengthening and separating lashes from root to tip. This one doesn’t flake away or leave you with panda eyes either. The formula is ophthalmologist tested, meaning it’s suitable for sensitive eyes, including contact lens wearers or those who suffer from hay fever.

## Lash Idôle Waterproof Mascara 



#### £22.40 (was £28) | Lancôme 



 

Lancôme’s mascara goes on like a dream, smoothly with zero clumps and a manageable amount of product per swipe. The finish is wide-eyed and flirty, and the ophthalmologist-approved formula really sticks around, even in rainy weather or on pool days. It can be tricky to remove, however, so we’d advise using an oil-based cleanser to shift it.

## Volume Million Lashes Panoroma 



#### £12.99 | L’Oréal Paris 



 

Here, a clever applicator uses brushes of different lengths to ensure no lash is missed, from the inner corner to the outer edge. It’s also great for getting into those bottom lashes. The formula is buildable too – so evening top-ups are on the cards – and it lasts all day without smudging or flaking. In a blind testm you would never guess this stellar formula is high street.
