Mascara is one of those things that can completely and easily transform your look. Just a few coats can make your eyes seem more intense, bigger and brighter.
A few key features that any good mascara should have: a creamy texture with good natural ingredients, a brush designed to coat and enhance each lash and, last but not least, quick drying time and easy removal.
Here is a selection of our favourite mascaras that will help you find your perfect partner in crime.
1. Tarte Cosmetics Gifted Amazonian Clay Smart Mascara
This mascara comes with a special feature: Amazonian clay. I know, it sounds weird to be putting clay on your lashes but this mascara nourishes and repairs your lashes while preventing lash loss, all while adding strength.
2. Tarte Cosmetics Lights, Camera, Lashes™ 4-in-1 Mascara
This high-performance mascara is dermatologically and clinically approved for sensitive eyes. It is infused with olive esters that are rich in powerful nutrients and vitamins, provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Its lengthening, curling, volumizing and conditioning features are perfect for daily use as well for a special night out. It also comes in a waterproof formula that holds up perfectly against swimming, sweating and tears.

If you love dramatic lashes, this formula is perfect because of its almost-magical ability to provide length, volume and thickness. This fabulous natural and organic mascara is made with botanical oils and vegetable extracts that ensure nourishment and protection to your lashes.

5. Arbonne It’s A Long Story Mascara
This high-performance mascara with revolutionary polypeptides promotes the length of your lashes and, thanks to precious ingredients such as pro-vitamins B5, C and E, nourishes and gives a highly glossy look. Its very smooth texture defines your lashes without weighing them down.
This mascara gives length and volume to your lashes. The natural formula is surprisingly long lasting and perfect to build an everyday or a special occasion. Its creamy texture is very gentle and does not irritate the eyes, so it is suitable for contact lens wearers.
7. CMD Rosé Exclusive Makeup Remover Oil
Make sure you remove all eye makeup every night, especially mascara. Use a specific and gentle eye make up remover, such as this restorative and naturally anti-bacterial moisturiser.
