Top 5 Mascaras of 2017

My Top 5 Mascara Picks for 2017

2017 was the year of mascara and  the competition was steep for beauty companies to produce the biggest and the best for those who were demanding more from their mascaras then ever before. The desire for long and luxe lashes has created a frenzy from makeup manufactures and beauty product producers to pump up their tired mascara choices and enter a new stage of bigger, badder, better beauty.

Better Than Sex Mascara (Too Faced) $23

What it is: An intensely black, volumizing mascara with an hourglass-shaped brush that separates, coats, and curls each lash to voluptuous perfection.

What it does: Inspired by the curves of a woman’s body, the hourglass-shaped brush was designed with extra stiff bristles to maximize the performance of this carbon black, collagen-fueled formula. One coat and lashes are full and defined. Two coats and lashes are even more luscious, curled, and dramatic. Three coats help you achieve the most intense, black, multidimensional lashes possible.

Monsieur Big Mascara (Lancôme) $15-$43

What it is: A high-volume mascara that delivers bold lash volume for up to 24 hours.

Ideal for all-day wear, this mascara doesn’t require touch-ups and doesn’t flake or smudge. This brush’s unique shape features soft, wavy fibers to deliver the perfect amount of formula with the very first stroke.

Perversion Mascara (Urban Decay) $53 plus a bonus Glide on Eye Liner Pencil

What it is: An ultracreamy, lengthening, and volumizing mascara for stand-out lashes.

What it does: Perversion glides on easily to instantly create sexy lashes. It has a creamy, full-bodied texture that is not too dry and not too wet to allow just the right amount of pull as it glides through lashes. This formula is not sticky or clumpy, and it contains Hairdensyl, a complex blend of proteins and amino acids that are known to stimulate lash growth. The honey extract provides deep nourishment, sea idrolized elastine stimulates the hair follicle, and marine collagen protects. The high-tech, volumizing brush separates and defines each lash for a clean, clump-free finish, and the triple-black pigments leave them looking intensely black.

More is More Mascara (Mally beauty) $20

What it is: More is More Mascara’s rich, creamy formula coats each lash on the very first stroke, for perfect definition.

What it does: For a truly lush, “false lashes” effect, Mally designed a special brush to grip lashes and smooth the mascara out to the very tips for exceptional length and definition. Hello, drama mama! The tip of the brush has additional bristles that provide the finishing touch for lashes that look larger than life!

Most of these mascaras have travel sizes available for you to test them out and decide which brand and wand suits you best.
