Perfect for adding the finishing touch to pull a look together, mascara forms an essential part of any makeup kit, given its ability to lengthen and define eyelashes to great effect. There’s a wand for every occasion and look, whether you want to darken and lengthen the lashes dramatically, or simply sweep through them once for a casual look. While everyone has their own trusty wand, there are some that are tried and tested universal favorites, bound to produce a perfect result every time.
