Eye Opener: Live Tinted Legacy Lash Volumizing & Lengthening Mascara
For short, stubborn lashes, Live Tinted’s Legacy Lash Volumizing & Lengthening Mascara delivers instant volume. But, the real magic is that it doubles as a treatment—think serum and mascara in one. The formula is powered by carnauba wax for definition, plus olive and green coffee extracts to help support growth. Meanwhile, a botanical blend of hibiscus flower, safflower, and sunflower oils helps make lashes look longer and denser over time. And applying it couldn’t be easier: The brush has a spiky tip that reaches all the way into those tricky inner corners, separating every lash, for a fanned-out finish.

Better Than Sex Mascara
Too Faced’s Better Than Sex Mascara might just live up to its name, if you ask us. One coat delivers instant volume, thanks to its iconic, hourglass-shaped brush, which hugs the lash line, lifts, and separates for a curled, clump-free finish. It comes in three shades: rich burgundy, chocolate brown, and deep black—trust us, you’ll want more than one in your rotation (yes, a lash wardrobe is a thing!). The formula is also infused with peptides to help condition lashes, so they stay soft and healthy-looking, with no crunchy flakiness in sight. Want an even longer lasting version? It also comes in Waterproof.
