In an interview, Kuwaiti beauty guru Fouz Alfahad once admitted that if limited to one beauty product for the rest of her life, she would choose mascara—and we’re sure that a lot of women would agree. Mascara is undeniably a makeup bag essential that has the ability to pull together our entire look, one coat at a time. Great mascara is something of a holy grail in the beauty world; a wand that provides length and definition to the lashes without clogging up or smudging is a rare and sought-after product. Here, we round up five clump-free mascaras for longer, fuller lashes that won’t smudge or flake throughout the day.
