8. Revlon Volume+Length Waterproof Mascara

This Revlon mascara is very reasonably priced mascara and is often on special deals or promotions at the drugstores. The black with the blue violetish coloured bottle is a little odd-shaped and is probably a little bulkier than a lot of mascaras.

The best part of the mascara is the brush. The square-shaped brush gives a bushy afterlook. It gave good coverage and did provide that volume and length that it advertises.

It is not gluggy and has no weird chemical smell that you often get from new mascara. If you are looking for an intense black mascara this is the right one for you.

9. Maybelline Magnum Big Shot Volum’ Express Mascara

This mascara will definitely take your lashes from basic to bold. It gives a powerful finish by making your lashes bolder and bigger. Its  Big Shot brush features unique, wavy bristles that cradle lashes, while the collagen formula delivers bold volume.

Upon applying The Magnum Big Shot Volum’ Express Water Proof Mascara, the first thing you will notice is how your eyelash strands lengthen. The mini fibres of the brush will easily get to the tip of your eyes and coats it without hurting your eyes.

However, one downside that we’ve experienced is the lashes got stuck to one another. This is because the liquid is very strong and thick so recoating clots up the lashes. 

So do not try to overcoat it. Once applied, it will last for a long time and apply the mascara as close to the roots and slide up till the tip for the bold finish.

Even if you did get so of the liquid on your skin you can wash it off easily with warm water. Though you do get a nice curl without using an eyelash curler, if you a more dramatic finish we suggest go for the tool.
