t may be a little bit tricky to find mascara that fits your needs. Different mascaras offer different advantages, such as creating volume, lengthening or curling your eyelashes. The best mascara should be the one that gives the right thickness without creating a clumpy-look on your eyes. It should also come with a convenient applicator stick and be smudge-proof and, sometimes, waterproof.
These are the mascara brands that we recommend you try.
L’Oréal Makeup Designer Paris Voluminous Superstar Mascara
As one of the newest products from L’Oréal Makeup Designer Paris, the Voluminous Superstar Mascara consists of two parts; primer as the base to thicken every layer of your lashes and top coat with a lifting brush to lengthen them. This mascara is suitable to boost your appearance and also separates your lashes well, although the two-layer application requires more time. Despite being smudge- and water-proof, it is easy to clean up using makeup remover.
Starting price: Rp 95,000 (US$7.21)
Benefit Roller Lash Curling Mascara
If curly and lifted eyelashes are what you aim for, you might consider using the Roller Lash Curling Mascara from Benefit that lasts up to 12 hours. It is also great for those who are looking for a mascara for daily use that gives the right amount of curling on your eyelashes without making them look clumpy. Although your eyelashes may be straight and difficult to handle with the lash-curler, this mascara will make them stand out. As light as it is, it is also easy to remove.
Starting price: Rp 400,000
Doll Eye Mascara from NYX provides specific answers for your mascara needs. It comprises three different products; waterproof, long lash and volume; with black as the only color option. However, those who want to apply the second layer may need to do it fast as the mascara quickly dries up. Although it is waterproof, the mascara is easy to remove.
Starting price: Rp 170,000

Featuring its formula curl-lock, Volum’ Express Hyper Curl from Maybelline is suitable for those who want a mascara that lasts for hours. It is advised to apply it from the inner to outer part of your eyelashes for better results. In just a few applications, it gives a long and thick finish. It is also water-, tear- and sweat-proof, although only available in black.
Starting price: Rp 100,000
Shiseido Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Edge Meister Mascara
Originating in Japan, Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Edge Meister Mascara from Shiseido has long been known among beauty enthusiasts. Having a unique applicator wand that consists of tiny fibers, this mascara will not cause clumps and it splits up every layer of your lashes very well. It comes in black yet does not leave a thick, uncomfortable look after application. Since its waterproof feature can last for hours, it is advised to use makeup removal to clean it up.
Starting price: Rp 255,000
