Do you have thin lashes? Sparse lashes? Or maybe you just want to give your eyelashes that extra “boost” to give them more presence. If that is the case, then finding the best volumizing mascara for your lashes is a must! With so many different brands out there though, how can you be sure that you are choosing the best volumizing mascara for you?

What Is Volumizing Mascara?

As you may have discovered, there are a whole lot of different types of mascara out there that you can purchase, including:

• Lengthening mascara
• Curling mascaras
• Bold mascaras
• Natural mascaras
• Waterproof mascaras
• Dramatic mascaras

…and yes, volumizing mascaras. You can even find a mix of one, two or more of these “definitions” on the cover of any mascara package. These are not all just some sort of marketing ploy; volumizing mascaras certainly are set apart from the rest given that they have a different formulation than other types of mascara.

What makes Volumizing Mascaras “Volumizing”?

The addition of polymers and wax products is what makes the best volumizing mascaras “the best”. These products will help add that extra bulk to your lashes, making them appear fuller and thicker than if you were to use a mascara product that did not include polymers and waxes.

So what are The Best Volumizing Mascaras?

There are definitely better and then the best volumizing mascaras out there that can fit any and every budget. Let’s start with the least expensive of the lot:

L’Oreal Double Extend Mascara
If you’re on a budget but want those long, luxurious lashes, then this mascara is a great pick for you! You can find this product in drugstores or even discount beauty stores across the globe, and it is often compared to the more prestigious and luxurious brands that you can otherwise only find in specialized beauty stores and department stores.

As for the best midrange volumizing mascara, you may want to opt for:

Lancome Hypnose Black Mascara
This product has won more than one award, which definitely tells you something! It even comes with its very own patented “powerful” lash brush and wand that promises to thicken those lashes six times over! This mascara also doesn’t clump or give you that “spider leg” eyelash appearance as many other volumizing mascaras do. Lancome is also an incredibly reputable eye makeup and mascara company that, year in and year out, continues to prove its reputation.

And now for the most expensive yet the best volumizing mascara:

Chanel Inimitable (or “Mascara Multidimensionnel”)
All you need of this mascara is one stroke and you’re good to get right on out the door. This mascara also has a unique and specialist brush that will help you use the mascara with no clumping. The wand also helps lengthen, curl, and plump up your lashes, giving them that extra boost they really need.

TIP: Technique also plays a role in just how volumized your lashes appear. When you are applying the mascara to your eyelashes, you will want to be sure to hold the wand of your mascara horizontally. Then, beginning at the underside base of your eyelashes, jiggle the wand from the roots of your lashes to the tips.
