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. Screen Shot 2013-05-16 at 22.45.02

Rimmel London’s Volume Flash Scandaleyes Lycra Mascara, (£4.99)

The mascara’s unique brush allows you to keep building layers onto your lashes without the mascara going clumpy. This mascara is perfect for making your eyelashes appear thicker for a dramatic look, so if you’re looking for the perfect “event” mascara this is the one for you!

Value for money: ★★★★★

Quality: ★★★★★

Overall rating: ★★★★★010416-0014_1

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. 

Value for money: ★★★★★

Quality: ★★★★★

Overall rating: ★★★★★images

Santhilea London’s Magnetic Lash, (£24.99)

The price of this mascara may seem daunting but it is worth every penny. It comes with two tubes: one containing the mascara and the other containing lengthening fibres. These tubes leave your eyelashes looking twice as long and dark. The overall results – your eyelashes will look amazing! 

Value for money: ★★★★★

Quality: ★★★★★

Overall rating: ★★★★★Screen Shot 2013-05-19 at 13.02.28

Yves Saint Laurent Volume Effect Faux Cils Luxurious Mascara, (£23.50)

This mascara is the “must-have cult mascara for a volumizing false lash effect”. It may seem pricey but this mascara is both long-lasting and effective.

Value for money: ★★★★★

Quality: ★★★★★

Overall rating: ★★★★★

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! It is definitely worth the price of £19, but if you wanted to test the mascara before purchase it also comes in a smaller, cheaper version and it’s also the perfect size for your purse. 

Value for money: ★★★★★

Quality: ★★★★★

Overall rating: ★★★★★

After endless hours of trying on almost every mascara on the shelf, there you have it: our top five mascaras. We hope this list will help you decide what mascara to add to your beauty bag this summer.
