We Tried the Best Maybelline Mascaras—Here Are Our Honest Reviews

I've been obsessed with this mascara since it launched backstage at Fashion Week in 2018, and refer to it as "Drugstore Diorshow." After one swipe, my lashes are instantly transformed with no clumping, flaking, or smudging. Whereas some mascaras start to get gloppy after too many coats, this one builds with ease, all while maintaining a curl. (The trick is to wipe the wand on the top of the tube first to deposit any excess; otherwise, it can get gunky.) I'm lucky to already have fairly long lashes as is, but with this, I swear sometimes they reach my brow bone. The formula itself, meanwhile, goes on jet-black and airy, and it has a faint coconut scent, due to the nourishing coconut oil. —Lindsay Schallon, senior beauty editor
