13 Best Mascaras For Length

by Lindsey Rose Black

March 25, 2016

Want luxuriously long lashes without having to struggle through slapping on fake lashes? My friends, I present you with the best mascaras for length! These all work so well, you and your pals will swear you were rocking falsies.

No matter what mascara formula you end up going with, the amount of length you get will ultimately depend on your application skills. First and foremost, you need to start with a clean slate. Definitely make sure you've used eye makeup remover to get rid of any lingering old makeup that could weigh your lashes down.

Once you're ready, begin by using an eyelash curler. And don't worry, it becomes totally easy as soon as you get the hang of it. Then, whip out your mascara wand and wiggle though to evenly coat your lashes. Finish by brushing through with a lash comb to separate and lengthen lashes, and you should be good to go! If your lashes still aren't as full as you want, make sure you're not accidentally making any common mascara mistakes.

Now that you've got mascara application on lockdown, don't miss these top mascaras for all that glam length.
