J’adore DiorShow…do you? Next time, try Dior Extase. The newest Dior mascara on the market, Extase ($28), has a tiered brush a la couture dresses. This innovative wand can cover every lash for a panoramic look. It takes the mascara to a new level, with different types of fibers that expand after application. Use three coats for a very dramatic look.

If you’re a classic MAC Zoomlash fan, try their newest release, Studio Fix Lash ($13), which has a skinny rubber wand. This prevents clumping by design and separates lashes. It held a curl really well.  If you’re in search of extreme length, try Tarte’s Lights, Camera, and Lashes ($18) mascara. If you are a fan of packaging, it has a purple faux snakeskin cover.

If you’re considering eyelash extensions or catwalk lashes, pick up YSL Faux Cils mascara ($28.50) as recommended by socialite Vie Society on her eponymous blog. Sleek and dramatic, this mascara has a triple threat: three special films that combine volume, curve, and long lasting coverage. It gave a maximum length, along with a darker pigment as compared to other mascaras.  

If you’re off to a wedding, photo shoot, or are envious of Kim Kardashian's lashes, Guerlain Le de 2 Guerlain ($35) is the perfect product.  While the pigment is very dark, a bit thick, the result is stunning and nothing like I had ever tried before. Just two coats create a very precise, dark application, and the curl will hold all day. Although, due to the humidity in Houston, I don’t recommend using such a thick mascara every day.

If you’re a drugstore mascara girl, CoverGirl Lash Blast Volume ($8) is a beauty steal. The chubby rubber wand really delivers. I was quite impressed. Some ladies surveyed have even switched from DiorShow to Lash Blast.
