Finding the perfect mascara [1] is like dating. You expect a lot from your one-and-only pick, and you never want to settle for less than what you need. When it comes to your lashes [2], you likely want a mascara that does it all: lengthens, volumizes, and thickens – all while avoiding clumps and the dreaded makeup goop in the corner of the eye that Chandler Bing complained about.

Thankfully, POPSUGAR editors have dated around for you, and tried out dozens of wands, formulas, and innovative tubes and picked out the very best of all time. Among these all-star picks, you're sure to find "the one."

It Cosmetics Superhero Mascara

The It Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara [3] ($24) gives you an incomparable false-lash effect. It's super black and creates tons of volume.

Tarte Light, Camera, Lashes Mascara

You can skip the lash curler when you use the Tarte Light, Camera, Lashes Mascara [4] ($23). The wand's pointed tip and tight bristles hug each lash and give you major length and volume.

Pur Cosmetics Fully Charged Mascara

The Pur Cosmetics Fully Charged Mascara [5] ($22) has a conditioning formula infused with peptides. It contains a magnetic polymer that wraps an elastic cover on each lash, making them look huge.

Maybelline Volum' Express The Rocket

Achieve your fluttery flirty lash dreams with the Maybelline Volum' Express The Rocket in Blackest Black [6] ($8). Everyone will ask if you're wearing falsies thanks to this lengthening formula.

NYX Professional Makeup Worth The Hype Mascara

Even the name of NYX Professional Makeup Worth The Hype Mascara [7] ($6, originally $8) is a testament to its effectiveness. This tube will make even the puniest lashes look full in just a few coats.

Hourglass Caution Extreme Lash Mascara

The buildable Hourglass Caution Extreme Lash Mascara [8] ($29) gets more impressive with every coat — without clumping. Wiggling it through your lashes will give you major thickness and length.

L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise

You'll be shocked by how well the L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise [9] ($10) works compared to more expensive options. Despite its affordable price, this little pink tube is your secret weapon for the longest, thickest lashes of your life.

Tarte Maneater Voluptuous Mascara

The Tarte Maneater Voluptuous Mascara [10] ($23) will convince you to wave goodbye to your old favourite. It curls, lengthens, and adds tons of volume in a few strokes of this magic wand. It's even formulated with jojoba oil to make your natural lashes almost as impressive as this mascara.

Burt's Bees 100% Natural Nourishing Mascara

Makeup lovers looking for a natural option will become obsessed with the cruelty-free Burt's Bees 100% Natural Nourishing Mascara [11] ($10). It's packed with jojoba oil and glycerin to hydrate each lash while giving you impressive length.

CoverGirl Lash Blast Active Mascara

Using CoverGirl Lash Blast Active Mascara [12] ($7) ensures you'll have longer lashes that won't smudge [13] throughout the day — even through an intensive workout.

Beauty by POPSUGAR Thick + Thin Mascara

The Beauty by POPSUGAR Thick + Thin Mascara [14] ($25) has a fat brush to create volume and length on your top lashes and a minibrush for detailing the lashes at the inner corners and underneath your eyes. It stays on all day without smearing or flaking and doesn't make your lashes feel stiff, like other products.

Urban Decay Perversion Mascara

You'll love how black the Urban Decay Perversion Mascara's [15] ($24) pigment is. It makes your lashes look miles long and adds just the right amount of volume without being clumpy.

Pat McGrath Labs FetishEyes Mascara

The Pat McGrath Labs FetishEyes Mascara [16] ($28) will. Not. Clump. We put the formula to the test [17], adding layer after layer throughout the day, and experienced no clusters — no kidding.

Essence I Love Extreme Curl and Volume Mascara

The Essence I Love Extreme Curl and Volume Mascara [18] ($5) has a jumbo-sized brush that features a long, winding staircase pattern within the bristles. While the wand might be bigger than both your eyes combined, there's no denying the results. It will make your lashes long, dark, thick, and curlier than you ever knew you wanted them to be.

Soap & Glory Thick & Fast Flash Extensions Effect Mascara

Ditch your lash extensions for the Soap & Glory Thick & Fast Flash Extensions Effect Mascara [19] ($14). You'll get the intensity you crave without the high-maintenance upkeep. Plus, it doesn't flake.
