Why we like it:
- Budget-friendly and popular reddit review
- Over 4,700 reviews on Ulta

“It’s a dry formula (which I prefer) so it doesn’t spread everywhere after you apply it and you have time to apply a few coats before it completely dries. I’m pretty shocked because I’ve tried most drugstore mascaras and am usually disappointed. But for under $5, nothing beats this!” – Hip Buddy, Cass

“I heard Sarah rave about this mascara so I tried it out and I love it too! My lashes became super long after just 1-2 coats and I didn’t have any issues with it peeling off during the day. The wand is so easy to use and I don’t have to use a lash separator after applying. This is definitely worth a try!” – Hip Sidekick, Erica

I was inspired by Angela Rose’s Instagram, who usually does DIY at home, and one day she was talking about it and mentioning how she was really into it, but it wasn’t sponsored. I can see why. It’s great!” – Emily, Hip Buddy
4. Urban Decay Perversion Mascara stimulates eyelash growth.

Why we like it:
- Coating eyelashes with a rich texture
- Formula with protein and amino acids to stimulate eyelash growth
“This is my absolute favorite mascara. I love Urban Decay Perversion Mascara because it gives me the best coverage and lift. I can often achieve the results I’m looking for with just one coat, and it comes off easily with a little makeup remover.” – Angie, your hip buddy
5. Benefit Roller Lash Mascara conditions your lashes as you apply them.

Why we like it:
- curve brush brush
- Each hair has unique characteristics hook and roll Design to grab, release, lift, and curl
- Water-resistant formula lasts up to 12 hours.
- Contains provitamin B5 and serine, which are known for their eyelash conditioning effects.
“This is another mascara that I always have in my makeup drawer. I have short, straight lashes, and this mascara never disappoints in the lash lengthening or parting department. I bought 2-3 tubes when they were 50% off during ULTA’s 21 Days of Beauty sale and have them stocked up for the year.” – Hip Buddy, Cass
6. MAC MACstack Mascara is a famous brand that every beauty lover knows and trusts.

Why we like it:
- trusted brand
- infinitely buildable
- 111 women say 95% experience gravity-defying volume
“Now that my favorite mascara has been discontinued, I love this alternative even more! My eyelashes are naturally long, thick, and straight, so if I don’t have the right mascara, I end up with those awful spidery lashes. This MAC formula separates, lifts and curls my lashes, while also… (Even with 2 or 3 coats!) It feels light and the brush combs through all the lashes and keeps them separated. Plus, the packaging is very stylish. I don’t think it’s that important, but it’s definitely going to turn heads!” – Rachel, Hip Leader
