We tried 10 Mascaras for volume and here’s our verdict

At the Lux Nomade office we’ve been busy trying ten mascaras to share our honest reviews with you. We know that not all mascaras are created for the same purpose, some of us want thick lashes and others might be looking for lengthening formulas or simply just a little tweak. However, all the mascaras we tested have one thing in common – great volume. So when a lash extension isn’t an option and your false lashes keep falling out, there’s the staple in your makeup bag which will never let you down – the mascara. Here’s our verdict…

Best Mascaras For Volume

Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash Brag Mascara

A voluminous mascara that instantly creates the look of dramatic, full-bodied lashes with intense, jet-black colour. The water-resistant formula glides on effortlessly for comfortable wear that lasts all day. It is designed to prevent clumping and doesn’t dry out lashes, fade, or smear.

Our verdict:

It’s easy to layer in build and nicely coats and separates lashes with minimal effort. It gives the lashes a lovely curl, even without a lash curler, and that curl holds up really well, even with three coats. It isn’t clumpy at all, but still delivers lots of drama.

RRP $47.00

Arbonne Speak Volumes Mascara

A vitamin-infused mascara that lengthens, defines, separates, curls and volumises. The smudge-resistant, buildable mascara formula with Green Tea is great for even sensitive eyes and lets you go for a natural or dramatic look. The tapered brush reaches every last lash and the mascara easily washes off at the end of the day without rubbing or tugging.

Our verdict:

This black mascara is a great formula, not too wet and not too dry. The tapered brush also means it’s easy to get the corner lashes and the bottom lashes. And the end of the day, it’s easy to remove.

RRP $46.00

We love this duo, the Lash Perfector adds fibres and the second (and third) coat of mascara gives great volume and thickness and one of the best mascaras of volume. It stays on all day and doesn’t flake or smudge and is great for a dramatic look.
