Mascara is one of those makeup items that you don't have to shell out a million pounds for. Case in point: there are tons of great-quality mascaras at Superdrug, all of which cost under £12. And to make it even easier for you, we rounded them all up in one convenient guide of the best drugstore mascaras you can buy in the UK.
At Superdrug, there's a mascara option for everyone regardless of your preferred wand type or formula preference. You'll find non-spenny lengthening mascaras, inexpensive volumising formulas, and, of course, a few affordable vegan options as well. And regardless of how these formulas make your lashes look, each and every one of them is long-wearing, smudge-proof, and completely clump-free.
I'm the first person to get lost in the aisles of Superdrug and all the beauty goodies the store has to offer, and I admit that the amount of makeup options it offers is quite overwhelming. (I also confess to sometimes going straight for the flashiest, most interesting packaging, which isn't always the best or cheapest way to go — you can often end up with some beauty duds.) But it doesn't have to be if you know where to look. That's why we've rounded up 12 of the best mascaras to buy from Superdrug based on consumers' reviews, our editors' favourites, and makeup artists' recommendations. Get a look at our selection of the best mascaras to pick up at Superdrug in 2019, ahead.
Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
Yep, the Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara (£9) wand really is that big. The brush has a whopping six different layers, so even your teeniest lashes get coated by the buildable formula. We don't blame anyone who buys this mascara over and over again.
Barry M Feature Length Mascara
We can't help but be absolutely smitten with the art-deco-style packaging for Barry M Feature Length Mascara (£5). This mascara boasts lash separation, zero flaking, and being smudge-proof — all for just £5. What's not to love?
Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara
Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara (£11) is an old classic loved by many. It truly lives up to its false-lash-effect claim, giving lashes both incredible volume and length. It can be layered without clumps, thanks to the tiny but dense bristles. It's a particular favourite for those with blonde or fair lashes due to its incredibly black hue.
Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara
If length is what you're after, look no further than Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara (£8). It leaves lashes looking false, in the best way possible. It also claims to help grow lashes. But if it's mascara growth you're looking for, try a lash growth serum rather than just relying on this mascara.
Maybelline Snapscara Mascara
The main selling point for the Maybelline Snapscara Mascara (£8) is the curved and graduated tip wand. This clever applicator allows each and every lash to be coated with its incredible lengthening formula, giving lashes a wispy effect while still allowing multiple coats for desired volume.
B. HD Lengthening Mascara
Vegan? Check. Lengthening and nonclumpy? Check. Perfect amount of bristles? Check. B. HD Lengthening Mascara (£10) ticks all the boxes and is guaranteed not to smudge.
Maybelline Mascara Push Up Angel
Don't knock the Maybelline Mascara Push Up Angel (£8) before you try it. It might look different than others, but it proves that sometimes, different is better. It perfectly separates lashes for a true push-up effect and not a clump in sight.
MUA Volume Mascara
MUA Volume Mascara (£2) might be cheaper than your morning latte, but that doesn't mean it deserves to be forgotten in your makeup stash. If you're looking for a supernatural everyday mascara, this one doesn't clump, lengthens just the right amount, and is also vegan.
E.l.f. Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara Black
Introducing the new and improved E.l.f. Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara (£4.50) formula. It's perfect if you like plenty of volume, particularly on the bottom lashes. The small brush makes it easy to reach those hard-to-get lashes. And like all E.l.f products, the mascara is vegan.
L'Oréal Castor Oil-Enriched Paradise Volumising Mascara
Want serious length to your lashes? L'Oréal Castor Oil-Enriched Paradise Volumising Mascara (£12) is the one for you. The castor oil formula leaves lashes feeling super soft without drooping or causing flakes.
NYX Professional Makeup Worth the Hype Waterproof Mascara
You'd be forgiven for thinking waterproof mascaras are a hassle, not easy to apply, clumpy, and hard to remove. Not for NYX Professional Makeup Worth the Hype Waterproof Mascara (£9). It leaves lashes feathery, dries very quickly, and can withstand tears, rain, and that sweaty-AF Spin class.
L'Oréal Paris Infallible Unlimited Mascara
There is more than one reason to try the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Unlimited Mascara (£11). The formula is thick enough to give length but buildable enough to add just the right amount of volume. "Extremely natural and not fake and 'makeupy,'" said one male reviewer on Superdrug, making it perfect for those who want an extremely natural look. As well as this, the shape of the bottle and bendable wand are not only an interesting addition but also make it more accessible for those who struggle to use regular mascaras.
