A cruelty-free mascara with thousands of five-star reviews, this promises to both hydrate and lengthen lashes for 24 hours whilst remaining smudge, smear and flake resistant.A promising review: "I have very sensitive, dry eyes and mascaras often cause irritation and wear off throughout the day, making me look like some sort of panda-rabbit. Not with this! You get rich, glossy lashes that last all day and don't irritate your peepers. It layers really well too, I can't praise it enough."

The bestselling formula that doesn't clump, flake or smudge - an absolute bargain for under £5. A promising review: "I have tried countless drugstore mascaras and more expensive brands like Dior and Benefit, but nothing beats the Max Factor False Lash Effect mascara. I keep coming back to it time after time. Does not irritate my eyes, relatively easy to wash off at the end of the day, does not smudge, and does a fantastic job of separating and lengthening my lashes."

This Maybelline mascara has gone VIRAL on TikTok thanks to its lengthening formula. It has zero clumps and only needs a quick coat to see wow-worthy results. We love.A promising review: "At last, a mascara that lifts my lashes AND holds them there. I have poker straight lashes that you can't see unless curled. I am always trying different mascaras that promise lift so that I can stop using eyelash curlers after so long. LOVE the light flexible brush. Brilliant. Thank you Maybelline.

Defines, lengthens and curls lashes for an opening eye effect. It lasts the whole day and is less than a fiver. Win win. A promising review: "Hard to believe its sooo good! Bought this coz i saw insanely small price and surprisingly good reviews, though why not, I'll give a shot. And I cannot believe, it's the best mascara I've tried so far!! Makes lashes look really long and the mascara stays the whole day!"

If you're on a budget but still want impressive results, this mascara is the one for you. It gives you voluminous, dark, thick and elongated lashes in just one coat. We can't get enough of it. A promising review: "An amazing dupe for my Lancôme Hypnose mascara - and a fraction of the cost. I layer my mascara because I like a bit of a clump but it glides nicely if you just want separated and lengthened lashes - just make sure you use the correct side of the brush."

A hard-working formula that absolutely does not budge - because we've all had mascara-stained eyelids, right? A promising review: "I love this mascara. It uses a simple stiff brush so it really separates the lashes. I am pretty low maintenance when it come to beautifying and what not so I like things simple. i stick the brush in, whack it on my lashes and they look dark and pretty. Job done!"
