These 10 Drugstore Mascaras Are Better Than You Think

Whether you’re wearing full glam or no makeup-makeup, bold lashes are always a must. A huge misconception in the beauty world is that in order to get high-quality makeup, you have to spend the big bucks. People think that Sephora is the motherland of makeup with its popular brands like Tarte and Laura Mercier. This thought process especially holds true when it comes to mascara. Two Faced’s Better Than Sex mascara and Benefit’s Roller Lash are all over the internet as beauty guru’s “holy grail” products. But why do these amazing makeup brands have to make products that are so expensive? And why do people think that those products are the gold standard when there’s a whole other world of beauty at the drugstore. These 10 drugstore mascaras to prove that high quality definitely does exist at a cheaper price point!

L’Oreal Voluminous Original

This mascara gives you big, thick and voluminous lashes just as the title promises. It’s an oldie and definitely a goodie because people are still using this product years later. This is one of the drugstore mascaras that gives you major volume.

Essence Lash Princess

If you are balling on a budget, look no further. So, even if you are a broke college student, you can spare the cash for this mascara. What’s even better is that even though it’s cheap, this product works just as well as it’s more expensive counterparts!

L’Oreal Lash Paradise

Remember a couple of months ago when this mascara was literally breaking the internet? Every beauty blogger was freaking out because there was finally a dupe for the Better Than Sex mascara. Even the packaging and brush are similar! L’Oreal did not disappoint with this one because your lashes will look huge after a couple of coats with this mascara. The only downside is that it dries out relatively quickly, but with such an affordable price, it’s okay.

Maybelline Lash Sensational

Here’s another popular mascara on the internet. This mascara has a unique curved wand that makes your lashes incredibly long and separated. If you’re going for that spidery-lash-effect, test this one out for sure! This is one of the longest lasting drugstore mascaras.

Maybelline Great Lash

I’m sure everyone recognizes this mascara. It was the first one that I ever used because it was what my mom wore! Again, this mascara is super cheap but has lasted through the years because it really works! If I’m ever in a pinch and need a cheap mascara, this is a go-to.

Maybelline the Falsies Push-Up Drama

If this was a competition solely based on packaging, this mascara would win for me. It’s just so stinking cute! Thankfully, this mascara works wonders and its insides match its outside. This is one of the best drugstore mascaras.

L’Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes

This mascara is great because it offers a little something unique! This is a two-stepped mascara where you first prime and then you go in with the typical black mascara. Another unique aspect of this mascara is that it utilizes tubes, which just make your lashes thicker and longer for that falsie effect!

CoverGirl Lash Blast

If you watched America’s Next Top Model, then you’ve heard of this mascara. The girls were always doing commercial challenges for this product over the years. Tyra really knew what she was doing when she partnered with CoverGirl because this mascara is amazing! It’s a great mascara for added volume without clumping.

Revlon Super Length

Just as the name suggests, this mascara is perfect for lengthening lashes. This super light-weight formula is great for everyday wear, but it can be layered up for a more dramatic going-out look.

Physicians Formula Eye Booster Instant Doll Lash Extension Kit

Here’s another unique mascara that involves a two-step process. This mascara kit includes fibers that add insane amounts of length and volume. If you have a hard time with fake eyelashes, try this mascara. You will get the effect of bold fake lashes without the hassle!
