Sometimes finding the right mascara to give you both the length and volume you want without clumping can drive us crazy! I know I’ve tried my fair share of them over the years so today I’ll be sharing with you my current favorites as well as the ones that just don’t make the cut. For all of these, I’m wearing the blackest shade they each come in.

Cons: Price point is a little high for a drugstore brand
Maybelline Volum’ Express The Colossal


Cons: Doesn’t give much volume or length
L’Oréal Voluminous Carbon Black
