I'm a mascara addict. Seriously, I don't mind leaving my house looking like hell with my hair in a bun, but I *will* have on mascara. If you have hooded eyes, you can probably relate!
My lids are oily - I've found that tubing mascaras work best, especially since they're easier to remove than traditional waterproof formulas. As a 48 year old, the less tugging and pulling of my eyelids, the better!
This is my holy grail, nothing else compares mascara! I have oily eyelids so tubing mascaras tend to work best for me. I've tried all of them, and Thrive lasts the longest and is the easiest to wash off at the end of the night. It separates and lengt...
Liquid Lash™ Extensions Mascara
This is a great mascara! Until I discovered Thrive, this was my favorite. It's another tubing mascara, so it lasts really well. It takes a little effort to wash off at the end of the day and can flake a little if you try to put on too much at once. I...
Lash Power Mascara Long-Wearing Formula
I really like this mascara! It's another tubing formula, so it's long lasting. Caliray is a clean brand - even the packaging is made from recycled plastic so, which we love. This mascara is available in a mini so you can give it a try before you comm...
Come Hell or High Water Volumizing & Lengthening Tubing Mascara
There is definitely a reason that Diorshow is so iconic. This is a great formula! It lifts, separates, and lengthens and last forever.
Diorshow 24h Buildable Volume Mascara
When it comes to bang for your buck, you cannot beat this mascara!
Benefit knows what they're doing when it comes to mascara! This is a long time favorite of mine. It holds a curl forever and does a great job separating lashes.
I don't generally go for non-waterproof mascaras, but when Hourglass says smudge proof, they mean it!

Lash Idôle Volumizing Mascara - Lancôme
This is my favorite drugstore mascara! It lengthens and thickens like crazy!
L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Mascara - 0.28 fl oz
This is another iconic mascara. Honestly, I don't love it but YMMV if your lids aren't as oily as mine. And they probably aren't, I promise. 😭
Too Faced Better Than Sex Volumizing & Lengthening Mascara - Ulta Beauty
I *love* the brush on this mascara. In my dreams, this brush will go with Thrive's formula and I will be living my best long lash life.
Limitless Lash Lengthening Clean Mascara
If you prefer a more natural look, Lash Slick might be for you! It's a water resistant formula, which isn't great for me, but I felt like this did a great job lengthening without looking too over the top. I happen to like over the top lashes, so I pa...
Glossier Lash Slick
I've used a bazillion lash growth serums, and this one from The Ordinary is among the best!

Sephora often does these mini mascara samplers and they're fantastic! Not only do you get to try 5 different formulas, but you get a voucher for a full size tube of whichever one is your favorite. If you do girl math, that makes this free.
