5 Amodrn writers on the one mascara they can’t live without
Bianca Cheah’s pick:
“I love bold, dramatic lashes, but hate the fuss of falsies. That’s why Bobbi Brown’s Extreme Party is my go-to, because it gives instant volume, intense colour and unbelievable length. I also love that this formula is smudge-proof and long-wearing.”

Chloe Morello’s pick:
“At the moment I’m loving Marc Jacobs’ Velvet Noir Mascara. Not only is the colour the blackest shade of black, but it also makes my lashes look long and full. What more could I want?!”

Emily Waight’s pick:
“I regularly chop and change my make-up routine depending on the season and what’s new, but I always come back to Benefit’s They’re Real!. With just a few swipes this the glossy, jet-black formula lengthens, curls, lifts and separates, without flaking or clumping.”

Georgia Pretty’s pick:
“Kevyn Aucoin’s The Volume Mascara is a staple in my makeup bag. Just as its name suggests, this innovative mascara uses lash-building fibres to help thicken, separate and lengthen even the tiniest of lashes. A quick slick and I’m ready to tackle whatever the day throws at me.”

Andy Kovszun’s pick:
“If, like me, you’re after longer, fuller, dramatic lashes, then Estée Lauder’s Sumptuous Infinite is a winner! The formula is also sweat and humidity resistant, which makes it perfect for post-workout touch-ups.”
