Mascara 10 Top Picks for Lush Lashes

Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee,

I have always had short lashes and once tried mascara a couple years ago, but it only clumped and flaked, and my lashes did not seem much longer or fuller. I'm going to my school prom and want to make my lashes longer and thicker. Are there any mascaras that work well that aren't too expensive?

Signed,

Need Longer Lashes

Dear Need Longer Lashes

Consumers at drugstore.com gave positive reviews to these mascaras listed below that can be found at your local drugstore. These mascaras lengthen and thicken without clumping or flaking. Drug store brands tend to be less expensive than cosmetic shops and department stores. Some companies make a variety of mascaras; so multiple products by same manufacturer are listed on one line.

For a more natural look, if you have dark hair, then black or dark brown mascara is fine. But, if you have blonde hair, avoid black mascara and choose medium brown mascara.
