If you want your lashes to reach great lengths, try the Milk Makeup Rise Lifting + Lengthening Mascara ($28). It extends and lifts your lashes, giving them the look of extensions.

The soft, intertwined bristles of the Roen Cake Mascara ($28) grab your eyelashes, coat them in formula, and give them a full, fluffy look.

The Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara's ($24) tubing formula helps extend your lashes by building off of your natural length.

You can skip the lash curler when you use the Tarte Light, Camera, Lashes Mascara ($24). The wand's pointed tip and tight bristles hug each lash and give you major length and volume.

You'll love how black the Urban Decay Perversion Mascara's ($24) pigment is. It makes your lashes look miles long and adds just the right amount of volume without being clumpy.

The Essence I Love Extreme Curl and Volume Mascara ($5) has a jumbo-sized brush that features a long, winding staircase pattern within the bristles.
