These are the best mascaras according to the Her World Team

We can go on and on about the different mascaras that the different beauty brands release every month on the market – promising everything from sky-high length to dramatic volume. So we understand that it can be a tad overwhelming to find the perfect one that will accentuate your peepers. Fortunately, for the team at Her World, we get to try a wide selection of mascaras as soon as they land on our desks. But truth be told – not all of them live up to the hype. In fact, only a select few pass our rigorous testing and become true staples in our beauty bags that we keep going back to.

To find out more about some of our cult-favourite mascaras we swear by, keep scrolling. 

The best mascaras according to the Her World team

They’re Real! Mascara, $51, Benefit from Sephora

“This mascara is my go-to for giving my lashes the perfect boost in volume and length.” -Elizabeth Lee, Editor-in-Chief

3D Curling Eyelash Iron Mascara, USD$9.99 (S$13.10), Judy Doll

“Hands down this has been one of the most effective mascaras I’ve ever used! I have long but thin lashes, and I realised that mascaras from Western brands tend to weigh my lashes down (maybe cos caucasian lashes are usually thicker?) and never hold the curl, giving my lashes what I call the “venus flytrap effect”.

This ones really helps to retain the curl, and on top of that, the rod-like wand means you don’t have excess product clumping the wand (or drying up around it) which makes it VERY easy to coat your lashes. 

AND!! At the expense of sounding like a used car salesperson, it’s super affordable!!” - Cheryl Chan, Digital Editor

Long Up Mascara Super Waterproof, $22.50, Heroine Make from Watsons

“It stays on forever - even through concerts, rainstorms and workout classes — and washes off easily with a gentle eye makeup remover. The bristles are also adept in gripping and lifting my stubby, downward-pointing Asian lashes. What’s not to like?” -Letty Seah, Beauty Editor

Mascara L’Obscur 1 Eve Black, $65, Gucci Beauty from Sephora

“This mascara works really well for my Asian lashes. The formula isn’t too heavy, so it doesn’t weigh them down, and you can add a few more layers for the illusion of fuller-looking lashes.” - Shazrina Shamsudin, Senior Digital Writer

Lash Sensational® Sky High Waterproof Mascara, $25.75, Maybelline

“This one adds so much volume and thickness to your lashes. Perfect if you’re going for a bold look. It’s also waterproof and cry-proof! (So if you’re heading to a break-up talk, now you know which mascara to wear. Your heart might be in shambles but your mascara doesn’t have to be!)” - Priyanka Patel, Intern

Tartelette™ XL Tubing Mascara, $24, Tarte from Sephora

“Super natural, smooth and clump-free. Literally nobody is going to even realise that you’re wearing mascara. It’s also smudge-proof but at the same time, it’s super easy to wash off with just warm water.” - Priyanka Patel, Intern

Micro Mascara Advanced Film, $22.50, Heroine Make from Amazon

“It’s easy to apply on your lower and upper lash, doesn’t smudge easily and more importantly, it lasts for the whole day.” - Adeline Eng, Art Director

Full Frontal Volume, Lift & Curl Mascara Mini, $23, Fenty Beauty from Sephora

“With just two applications, I get full, thick lashes that stay beautiful and curled throughout the day. Even when I accidentally smudge my lashes, it doesn’t affect my look until I’m ready to wash it off.” - Reta Lee, Contributing Senior Features Editor

Hypercurl 36 Hour Waterproof Mascara, $19, Maybelline

“Maybelline Hypercurl always does the trick for me. I’ve tried other expensive brands, but found that they weighed my sparse eyelashes down. I find that Maybelline mascaras are suitable for Asian lashes, and they are very affordable too.” - Chelsia Tan, Associate Editor

Legit Lashes Double-Ended Volumizing and Lengthening Mascara, $46, Huda Beauty from Sephora

“I like that it’s a dual wand one side to lengthen the other is volumising.” - Lena Kamarudin, Fashion Editor
