The best mascaras of 2021

Liz Pearce - Purchased based on FC recs and happy I did. No more of the annoying flakes and smearing I was constantly getting with my last brand (which I have now erased from memory.) Good definition and easy to remove.

Sandra Jacquemin - Hands down the best clean mascara I’ve used yet. Nontoxic clean and easy to clean.

Ali White MacBeth - I just started wearing organic makeup as I wanted a gentler mascara. I really like Ilia. You can buy at Follain or Sephora, but I buy directly from Ilia and it came rather quickly!

Elexa Martinez - On days I am looking for a more dramatic eye I use the l'oreal telescopic mascara with the l'oreal telescopic primer. I usually get them at CVS or Ulta I always try to use a coupon at either place for them.

Emily Midgley - A vote for L'Oreal Telescopic! A friend recommended it since I am a novice and it was easy to find at Target/CVS! So far I am loving it!

Lindsey S - I bought this after seeing a Fresh Chalk recommendation and I loooove it! Elongates and evenly separates my lashes.

Elexa Martinez - For a daily mascara, I use Essence Lash Princess false effect for just running around with the kids an and errands.

Mandi Pacer - Gives me the length that other drugstore mascaras can't achieve!

Zoe Gregorace - Awesome cruelty-free mascara

Brittany Menestrina - I’m infamous for being an ugly cryer and I live by all mascaras from Benefit Cosmetics!! Never had a problem with any other mascaras. I like the They’re Real best!

Allison H - I love this mascara - it's thick but doesn't clump.

Kylie Heaton - After getting my lash extensions off the Benefit They’re Real Mascara has been my new best friend! The transformation is unreal. I love this product!

Elissa Tompkins - I use the Thrive mascara and really I like it!

Natasha Willis - Tried this out from a recommendation here on Fresh Chalk and I loved it

Torilynn Staley - Started using this after I got it in one of my Ipsy bags and i love it! Makes your lashes so much longer and doesn't clump together!

Zoe Gregorace - Current obsession! Doesn't leave your lashes clumpy and adds awesome length!

Morgan Keith - This is my go to for high end mascara. It doesn’t flake like most.

Mandi Pacer - If you want a good drug store mascara that won't break the bank, may I recommend
L'Oréal Voluminous Volume Building Waterproof Mascara. I've used this brand since high school!

Tori Dixon - This is my tried and true mascara. It's nothing fancy, but it gets the job done AND it's buildable without looking gunky. I use the carbon black color, but they have other colors as well.

Morgan Keith - Very comparable to Too Faced mascara, I love the shape of the brush.

Emily Law - This lifts and lengthens my lashes like no other!

Mariella Tamayo - Best mascara in the market! My eye lashes look like I get them done when I use this! The name sells it on its own! Lol!

Victoria Grinde - I love my Lash Boost! I saw results in how my eye lashes looked in a few weeks. I use it every night!

Natalie Steck - I am such a fan of this product. I always see other peoples results on social media and think 'that will never work for me' - but it does. After about 8 weeks you have the most beautiful, natural, long lashes. It's pricey but lasts a while for me.

Lindsey S - I use BADgal Bang mascara from Benefit and love it. I get it at Ulta.

Zoe Gregorace - My new favorite mascara- never clumps and adds extreme length!

Elexa Martinez - My number one favorite drug store eye lash primer. Works so well and the application brush is really nice.

Liz Stella - I'm a fan of NARS Climax. It's perfect consistency, no clogging and nice shaped wand.

Emily Law - This is probably the best waterproof mascara I've ever worn

Iliana Vera - I’ve tried so many mascaras but I find myself always going back to get Maybelline’s full and soft mascara. It gives great length and volume without getting clumpy!

Hilda Jacquemin - My daughter made me try and I love it. When in a pinch pick it up at Target. Clean ingredients and double end tip including primer.

Liz Huerta - Great lengthening mascara

Karline Nogales - My favorite mascara is Lancome Hypnose. I love the long full lashes result.
