If you’ve tried volumising and lengthening mascaras but still find your lashes sticking straight out or falling flat, you’re probably in need of curling mascara. Choosing the right mascara can go a long way and if you haven’t tried a curling formula let us be the first to welcome you to the wondrous world of the gravity-defying curl. While volumising and lengthening mascaras are great for making your lashes appear fuller and they often forget about adding a much-needed lift.

There is some strategy in finding the best curling mascaras for yourself. First and foremost they usually have curved wands that help achieve a lift and curl on the lashes. The bristles on them are usually comb-like to deliver precision, definition and volume. However, the formula is important too! Waterproof formulas tend to hold curls much better than regular ones but always look for more lightweight formulas. If mascara is too heavy or dense it might give you much-needed volume but will ultimately weigh down the lashes and the curl won’t last, leading you back to square one. But never fear! We’ve got you covered. We did all the homework for you and compiled a list of the best fool-proof lash curling mascaras available right now. Never will your lashes look droopy again.
