With just a few swipes and minimal effort, these top-rated volumizing mascaras will give your lashes a dramatic makeover. These are our absolute favorites—and the ones that'll make strangers ask if your eyelashes are in fact real.

Chanel Le Volume De Chanel Mascara

The little black tube may be a splurge, but it’s worth every penny. The volume-boosting formula separates and plumps up the look of every lash, even the baby bottoms ones, to create a doe-eyed effect that Twiggy would approve of.

One of the times you may think you'll absolutely wear false lashes? Your wedding. This mascara gave such three-hundred-degree thickness, length and fullness you can skip the falsies and use a couple of coats of this instead.
