Best Lip Plumpers

This mascara proves that you don’t have to spend high-end money to get high-end results. The jumbo brush builds the formula onto the lashes to create bold volume that isn’t clumpy or spidery. It helps pack on the product fast (so you don't need to apply several coats), and site web despite its size, it grips the lashes and separates them nicely. One coat creates visible definition and thickness, with a hint of length, too, while a second layer offers a more dramatic effect. Even after applying several coats, it doesn’t weigh the lashes down. I did experience a bit of smudging near the outer corners of my eyes, but it was far from the worst smudging I’ve experienced when testing masca


After major length ? The Liquid Lash Extensions mascara from Thrive Causemetics delivers. When applying for the first time, I was shocked that my lashes got longer and longer with every single swipe—as if it was literally extending them. It has a firm bristle brush that grabs onto the lashes to separate and lengthen evenly, and I didn’t have any clumping or smudging while applying. The formula is on the liquid-y side, which makes reapplication while it’s still wet much easier—and I love that it comes in multiple fun shades when you want to liven up your everyday makeup look. The tubes slid off easily and quickly in the shower, and the formula didn’t cause any irritation during the day or remo


Our tester appreciated how this formula created a natural-looking, precise definition that lasted all day. The weightless texture felt like nothing on her lashes and didn’t bother her chronically dry eyes. She appreciated how dense the brush is, ideal for covering and grabbing those little, sparse lashes, but it did cause some clumping and smudging (notably on the lower lash line). We also appreciate that it’s seamless to remove, whether you use warm water or makeup remov

Erica, tester: "This product packs all the punch of lipstick in a lower-maintenance format. I think it’d be a great lip product to turn to for summer events like weddings, where you’ll be sipping a lot and don’t want to worry about touch-u


It’s never fun to pass by a mirror and spot a smudge of mascara under your eye, notes our tester (we couldn’t agree more). She was happy to report that this smear-free, lengthening formula stayed perfectly clean all day. Though not marketed as "waterproof," it definitely acts as a long-wear product. The tubing formula felt light and comfy on her lashes, and the bristle brush—which narrows at the tip—allowed her to grab those pesky inner-corner lashes. Her favorite perk was how lifted and extended her lashes for hours. Don’t get heavy-handed, as she says one to two coats is all you need. To take off the tubes, she used a few swipes of remover (and one nail on a clump). It can also be washed off with just water and fing


This mascara from e.l.f. can lengthen, lift, and add a slight curl for only $8. It has a silicone brush with short, spiky bristles that work to separate the lashes, and it adds a noticeable amount of length in just a few swipes. The consistency was smooth, and I loved that it created a natural look perfect for everyday. The shape of the brush made for a mess-free application, and it didn’t cause any smudges on my eyelids whatsoe


Hello, color! The '80s saw heavy, smudged eyeliner paired with pastel eye shadow and frosted lips. Sometimes the eyeliner was basic black, but often it was technicolor neon, just like the spandex. Bring back the '80s with some loud liquid eyeliner like Nyx's Vivid Brights Eyeli

If you can’t stand clumpy lashes, try this non-clumping mascara from Victoria Beckham Beauty. The curved brush features nicely dispersed bristles that grip and separate the lashes, adding clean-looking volume with every swipe. Our tester found that as you build it up by layering more coats, the brush does a nice job removing excess product that could lead to clumping. The result is voluminous lashes that don’t smudge or fl


If you’re the type of person who wants to swipe on a lip color and not even think about having to touch it up throughout the day (or worry about it smearing), a lip stain is the low-maintenance makeup product of your dreams. The lightweight texture sets it apart from other formulas, according to celebrity makeup artist Misha Shahzada . "Lip stains often come in gel and cream forms, which offer longer wear, less application, and don't transfer as easily," she expla


If you hate the feeling of a heavy mascara, you'll love this option from Kevyn Aucoin. After applying, it felt like I had nothing on my lashes—but they were noticeably longer with more volume. It has a super slim brush that makes for effortless application, and it doesn't smudge on the lids or make a mess during use. It separates each individual lash well, making it a great option for a spidery look. The mascara is smooth and subtle, which almost makes it seem as though you have naturally long lashes—it doesn't look like you're wearing a chunky mascara formula. It is slightly smaller than other options I tested, but you don't need a lot of coats to make a major imp
