Mascara Round-Up: Lash Tested!

Finding the perfect mascara is a constant quest for any makeup junkie, yours truly is at the top of that list! At the risk of bursting your bubble, there is no “perfect” mascara; there are mascaras that lengthen and ones that thicken, ones that are all derived from natural ingredients, and those that are waterproof. it all depends on what you are looking for in mascara. Here is my round-up of my seven favorite mascaras, plus a must-have lash primer.

Chanel La Base Mascara: Lash Primer

This is hands down a must-have for everyone. Just one coat of this lash-enhancing primer will provide the perfect base for your mascara. It strengthens your lashes with Provitamin B5 and meadowfoam oil protects your lashes. Apply your favorite mascara directly and immediately on top of this primer.

Chantecaille Faux Cils Mascara

What I love about this mascara is that it smells like a garden of roses! And as soon as it doesn’t, toss it! Although it is pricey, the bristle brush separates, volumizes, and lengthens; there is no clumping and it is buildable.  Rich in mineral salts, the Red Seaweed Extract helps define lashes while vegetal polymers promote an effortless application. It also contains Rose Ol, which conditions your lashes.

When used consistently, this mascara, which contains a patented lash serum, activates growth from the root to the tip. In order to see dramatic results in terms of lash building and lengthening several oats need to be applied. However, if you after a very natural look, (and sometimes I do not wish to look too “made up”), then I will reach for this mascara.
