The 10 Best Mascaras For Short Lashes

Benefit knows a thing or two when it comes to showstopping eye makeup looks, which is exactly why they created a lash-enhancing mascara that goes the extra mile. Serving you mega length and unstoppable volume, this mascara coats each lash in a long-wearing pigment that provides a noticeably lengthened appearance.

Another favourite from Benefit, this mascara builds on the brand's bestselling They're Real! Mascara with this magnetic edition. Using a magnetically charged brush to pull the magnetic, mineral-enriched mascara to the very tips of your lashes, this mascara gives you extension-like length you won't believe.

You know you're going to get dramatic results when a mascara has the word 'falsies' in its name. The Falsies Lash Lift mascara is made to mimic a professional salon lash lift, with a double-curved lifting brush and fibre-infused formula to lift, thicken and length your lashes.

We just had to mention another Maybelline option, as loved by TikTokkers and beauty influencers as this one is! It uses a unique 'Flex Tower' brush to shade your lashes and coat each one in intense black pigment. You'll get that fluttery falsie effect without having to put on lashes.

If you're obsessed with PIXI skincare, then you'll want to try their Large Lash Mascara. It'll lengthen and plump your lashes while also delivering a dose of vitamin E, panthenol and bamboo extract to nourish, strengthen and hydrate your lashes.

Sometimes just having longer lashes isn't enough. You need more! You need volume, you need lift. If that's the case, then you probably want to grab the Triple Threat Mascara from ICONIC London, which will give you all the dramatic flutter you're craving in just a few swipes.

If you can't resist some cute packaging but still want a super effective product, the Mad Eyelash Mascara from theBalm is your new bestie. Get insanely long lashes from the slightly curved brush, which separates your individual lashes with precision so each gets a full coat of the intense black pigment.

Feel like a splurge? This mascara from Jane Iredale is totally worth it. Not only does it thicken and lengthen lashes, it contains a blend of seaweed lipids to nourish your lashes and prevent breakage, meaning healthier, longer lashes even after you remove your mascara.

For another great option at a drugstore price, we love this lengthening, volumising and curling mascara from Max Factor. The Zoom-Action tip captures even the tiniest lashes on the corners of your eyes, making it ideal for those with shorter lashes in general (which is probably you if you're reading this!).

If you've seen the before-and-afters from professional lash lifts or even just curled your lashes, you know what a bit of lift can do for the illusion of length. This eye-opening mascara definitely delivers this, with a jumbo brush to push your lashes up and out into voluminous, lifted curls.
