It’s no secret that mascara has the magic ability to turn your lashes from drab nothingness to… well, *everything.* With the hundreds of options out there, we wanted to hear your favorites, so we asked you (via Instagram Stories) what your ride-or-die mascara is and why. After sifting through our DMs, we found that these seven mascaras are your favorites based on *very important* lash criteria, namely formulas that lengthen, volumize, and are clump-free. No one wants that “midday slump” under their eyes, so having a non-flaky, long-lasting formula is also key. So if you’re a creature of habit and have been wearing the same mascara for years, take Beyoncé’s advice (if you haven’t already) and let these products UPGRADE you.
