Lets talk mascara! I don’t know about you ladies, but I love mascara. If I had to choose only one makeup product to wear for the rest of my life, that’s what it would be. Whether you’re looking for more of a natural look or the biggest, boldest lashes; there’s a mascara here for you. From dirt cheap to high end, here are 30 of the best mascara brands and products (in no particular order) for all sorts of occasions!

1. Maybelline – Colossal Big Shot Volum’ Express

A wonderful mascara that can give a nice natural look with one coat, or can be built up with several coats for darker lashes. This is a great everyday mascara!

2. Maybelline – Colossal Volum’ Express

This is the older version of the product mentioned above, and is also wonderful. With 5 different colors to choose from, and a waterproof version as well, this is the best mascara to keep handy for all occasions.

3. Rimmel – Volume Colourist Mascara

This mascara is great if you’re going for a bolder look. One coat darkens and thickens the eyelashes, preparing you for a great night out.

4. Maybelline – Lash Sensational

Another one of my personal favorites! This mascara is not only cheap, but it comes in 7 different colors. It is the best mascara if you’re looking for a full fan-effect.

8. CoverGirl – LashBlast Clump Crusher

Just as it says in the name, this is the best mascara if you have a problem with clumps. Nobody wants to be walking around with clumpy eyelashes!

An oldie but a goodie. This is your typical ’90s girl mascara with the pink tube and green lid. It was the first mascara I ever owned, and I would buy it again today.

10. e.l.f – 3-in-1 Mascara

If you haven’t used e.l.f. products, you are missing out. This is by far the cheapest makeup brand out there, and most of it is actually great quality. This mascara lengthens, defines, and volumizes lashes all in one coat.

11. e.l.f – Volumizing and Defining

This is the best mascara if you are looking for something cheap but still want good voluminous lashes.
