Anyone familiar with clean mascara—and even those who aren't—can't get enough of this naturally enhanced mascara that gives one enviable set of lashes. It features a unique brush—the brand tested more than 100 different designs—with curled, short bristles on one side (which are great for mega-volume) and long, straight ones on the other (which are ideal for lengthening and separating).

Shoppers hail this affordable drugstore option as the best of the best. Beyond a good-for-you natural formula, this tube works as a two-for one with two brushes (one on each end). One swipes on a nourishing primer, while the other finishes with a lash-lifting high-definition mascara. Besides, we've always thought two brushes are better than one.

We've always been big fans of an hourglass-shaped brush, because it's the best for making eyes seem more awake and doe-eyed. (That's a result from the brush shape applying more product to the inner and outer corners.) Made with vegan tree berry wax, this intense black mascara is able to give lashes an instant and buildable boost. So if you want supersized lashes, this is the one that gets double takes.

Beautycounter was one of the first brands to really define and excel at clean beauty. In fact, it bans more than 1,500 questionable or harmful chemicals from their products. (Over 1,400 of those ingredients are not banned in the United States. We know, spooky.) The brand boasts two super reliable and highly pigmented mascaras, including this volumizing option, as well as a lengthening option.

This tube practically takes clean, natural, and eco-friendly to a whole new level, thanks to a non-toxic formula that's also made using sustainable energy. The mascara itself offers different levels of lash power, which can be credited to a rubber brush that helps keep the product from clumping as you layer on as many coats as desired. Apply one coat for subtle and three coats for bold.
