Mascara High Lengths Optimal Length by Clinique
The new Clinique mascara is the longest-lasting mascara ever created by the brand.
This mascara’s fine, very long brush considerably lengthens lashes without clumping. The mascara is applied almost lash by lash, for a clean, natural result. What’s more, its exclusive formula with Senegalese acacia gum nourishes lashes deep down and keeps them healthy.
The plusses: The very precise brush allows you to pick up those little lashes in the inner and outer corners of the eye that you forget to make up with more traditional mascaras whose brushes are often too wide. After application, you have the impression of having many more lashes than usual! And all with zero clumps.

Studio Fix Lash by M.A.C
Very rich in pigment (just like the brand’s eyeshadows), this mascara gives you a fiery look. Its high-definition molded brush separates lashes very well, and its light mousse texture lengthens and thickens them slightly.
The plusses : The product’s mousse texture means we can apply it quickly, with no risk of smudging (the texture is much less liquid than other mascaras). As the color is pronounced, a single coat is all you need for a well-marked look. Lashes gain in length primarily, but also in volume, so it’s possible to consider this mascara as a two-in-one.
Minus: If you try to apply several coats of this mascara, little flakes of product may form! So, one coat (or two) is enough, provided you keep a light hand.

Lancôme L’Extrême Lengthening Mascara
Lancôme promises to instantly lengthen lashes by 60% with its new mascara. This figure may be a little exaggerated, but it’s not far off the mark, because from the very first coat, lashes appear much longer. The mascara’s brush (covered with « picots ») grips the lashes, allowing them to be stretched and lengthened.
The plusses : The instant lengthening effect is clearly present, and you can apply several coats of mascara without clumping. A very practical mascara to use if you’re in a hurry in the morning.
Minus: Application isn`t very precise and small lashes that don`t cling to the brush are forgotten.

Diorshow Extase Mascara by Dior
k
As this Dior mascara was designed to create XXL eyes, it’s often forgotten that it also lengthens lashes extremely well! From the very first application, lashes are much longer and fuller. The formula is made up of plumping powders, 3D-effect pigments and a secret ingredient (with the barbarian name ‘Sr38’) that coats, smoothes and repairs lashes.
Pros: One of the best mascaras on the market in my opinion, I really can’t fault it. It keeps its promises, doesn’t clump, doesn’t smudge, and what’s more, its champagne-colored packaging is gorgeous.
