TRIED AND TESTED
BACK TO BLACK Our panel tests the best mascaras for lash-boosting volume and length L’OREAL PARIS VOLUME MILLION EXTRA-BLACK LASHES, £11 Angela I really liked the brush but the mascara felt quite clumpy when on. It was great for a night look, but not so natural in the day. Sally I had to be careful not to put too much of this on, but it gave volume and curl. I felt like I had false eyelashes on. Shona The big brush on this makes it easy to apply well in one stroke. My lashes looked longer and fuller.

RIMMEL WONDER’FULLY REAL MASCARA IN BLACK, £8 Angela This made my lashes look really natural with no clumps. I also loved the shiny pink packaging and the screw top made it easy to open. This was my absolute favourite. Sally The mascara went on well and the wand was easy to use. It lengthened my lashes, but I felt it lacked volume. It took several attempts to remove. Shona The brush was big, which saved time, but the bristles were far apart so my lashes clumped together. MAYBELLINE COLOSSAL BIG SHOT MASCARA IN BLACK, £8 Angela The mascara was very clumpy so I had to wipe the lumps away after I’d applied it. Sally This was easy to apply and gave volume in one coat, but it was too black for my look and was hard to remove completely. Shona The shape of the brush meant that clumps seemed to form. This made it hard to use – particularly when trying to apply quickly! MAX FACTOR MASTERPIECE MAX MASCARA IN BLACK, £10 Angela This went on easily. It is highvolume, natural-looking and came off in one wipe. Sally My short lashes looked longer and fuller. The mascara lasted all day with no clumping. Definitely my favourite. Shona I really liked this. The brush was thin and easy to use and it separated my lashes easily.
