6. COVERGIRL Natureluxe Mascara

COVERGIRL Natureluxe Mascara This gentle mascara gets a mention because it provides volume and length without any heavy synthetics. Although this mascara isn’t necessarily made for sensitive eyes, ladies with sensitive eyes find it non-irritating and very effective! Since the formula is lighter, it makes for a great starter mascara or a mascara for those who like length while still looking natural!

7. Benefit They're Real! Mascara

Benefit They're Real! Mascara Benefit has their share of amazing mascaras and They’re Real is a top notch mascara to lengthen lashes. The brush is specially made to apply mascara from the root to tip to curl, define, extend, lift and separate for knockout lashes. This comes in a mini mascara that’s ideal if you want to tuck one into your makeup bag or just to try out.

There are many more mascaras that deserve a spot on this list but I had to narrow it down to seven. Although many of these mascaras are labeled as volumizing or defining, they still do an incredible job of lengthening our lashes. Keep in mind that just because it’s not called a lengthening mascara, it doesn’t mean it won’t do the job well! Have you used any of these lengthening mascaras? What’s your holy grail lengthening mascara?

I purchased the Maybelline mascara as a cheaper option for work and now I'm in love with it. At night they still look as if I had just finished putting on my mascara.

I have 6 of the 7 ! & I must say 'They're real' (benefit) & Clinique's high impact mascara are amazing !! Great list !

Tarte lights camera lashes is awesome, should be up there :)
