14 Mascaras That Will Add Length and Separation to Your Bottom Lashes

Mascara is an essential part of our everyday makeup routine, and the formulas we keep in our collection are wide-ranging, from the lengthening and thickening to the vividly colored. And because the fat wands and volumizing formulas that fluff up our top lashes can be a little unwieldy, we even have defining formulas that are perfect for the bottom lashes. Below, we’re sharing our favorite mascaras for bottom lashes that deliver flake-free, clump-free results.

The Best Bottom Lash Mascaras

L’Oréal Paris Telescopic Lift Washable Mascara

The newest iteration in the L’Oréal Paris Telescopic line, this TikTok-famous mascara gives lashes an instant floaty, lifted effect. The double-hook bristles grip every lash for even application and length, and the formula stays put for up to 36 hours.

The serum-infused volumizing mascara promotes strong lashes inside and out. This formula will give you plush, pigmented, clump-free bottom lashes with just one swipe.

Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara

This mascara isn’t just beach-proof — according to reviewers, it’s basically everything-proof (one said she thinks it could even stand up to a hurricane!). The only downside is how difficult it is to remove, but as long as you have a good waterproof eye makeup remover on hand, you can enjoy lashes that stay flawless no matter what you put them through.
