Can we please talk about how hard it is to find the right mascara? Like, you’re standing in the drugstore aisle, scanning the bajillion mascara options, which includes everything from lengthening to waterproof. You could keep it simple and grab the same one you’ve been using since college. It’s good enough (re: doesn’t do justice to your eyes). Or, you could take a risk and find the perfect drugstore mascara—the one that lengthens, lifts, and curls—with our pop quiz. Me? I’m going with the latter.
This quiz is a no-stress, zero-regret guide to finding the drugstore mascara your routine was missing. Whether you’re all about curl and definition or want something waterproof enough to survive a rom-com sob session, we’ve got you. Lash preferences may vary, but wanting high-quality, low-cost tubes is universal. These picks are all under $15 and available on Amazon (bless)—what are you waiting for?
