Team Tries: The Best Mascara

There's no doubt in our minds that when it comes to beauty, mascara is a girl's BFF. It would be our desert island essential (after sun screen, naturally) purely for its ability to instantly up our makeup anty and awaken tired-looking peepers.

So it's a given that finding the best mascara is somewhat of a holy grail in the world of beauty, especially as we're so spoiled for choice when it comes to the vast selection that promise to give us the curly, thick, long lashes of our dreams. Their success all rests on the wand and the formula.

In a bid to help you find the one, we made it our mission to try out the latest mascaras to launch so you can see the finished result without having to try them all yourself...
