Top five mascaras

Every woman wants long, luscious lashes, but with so many mascaras to choose from what mascaras give the best results? Here at The Upcoming we have put mascaras to the test – we are not only judging them on their quality but also on their price.

Maybelline’s Illegal Length Mascara, (£8.49)

If long lashes are what you’re aiming for, then this mascara will be great for you. It has an exclusive fibre fix brush that uses six contact points to make sure each lash is covered and visibly enhanced. This mascara is a great alternative to false lashes.

Benefit’s They’re real mascara, (£19)    

This mascara won UK’s number one best-selling mascara and we can see why! Your lashes are left looking twice as long and twice as thick!
