Ami Colé Lash-Amplifying Volumizing & Lengthening Mascara $19 "This is my holy grail. I have thin, stick-straight lashes, and this one from Ami Colé lifts them to the heavens and adds volume in just one sweep. I also love that the wand isn't too thick so the mascara doesn't get on my eyelids when I apply." — Faith Xue, executive beauty director, lifestyle, BDG See On Sephora

ILIA Limitless Lash Lengthening Clean Mascara $28 "After trying this mascara for the first time, I knew I would never need to try another product. The dual-sided brush gives your lashes volume and length. Not to mention, the formula stays glued to my lashes all day long." — Maggie Haddad, senior social media strategist, TZR See On ILIA

Gucci L'Obscur Lengthening Mascara $36 "This mascara provides the perfect balance of volume and length. I love that it's buildable and doesn't clump or flake when layering. Not to mention, the aesthetically pleasing vintage-inspired pink and gold tube — I love leaving it out on my bathroom vanity." — Erin Lukas, deputy beauty editor, TZR See On Sephora

Sisley-Paris So Curl 1 Deep Black $78 "I know it's expensive, but hear me out: Sisley's So Curl Mascara is literally better than wearing falsies. It makes my lashes look incredibly long, curled, and fluffy — but never clumpy. I get so many compliments every time I wear it." —Rebecca Iloulian, director, newsletter revenue and marketing, BDG See On Neiman Marcus

Dior Diorshow 24h Buildable Volume Mascara $32 "My favorite mascara of the moment is one I never thought I'd try. I'm not really an eye makeup person, but Diorshow in a deep cobalt blue is my newfound obsession. It looks great in place of eyeshadow, and helps me feel like I'm channeling Princess Diana. " — Amanda Ross, beauty editor, TZR See On Sephora

PAT McGRATH LABS FetishEyes Lengthening Mascara $34 "I swear by Pat McGrath’s FetishEyes Lengthening Mascara. I have pretty short lashes, and this formula makes them look so long and full in just two swipes. And while some mascaras tend to flake, that’s not the case with this product." — Kelsey Stewart, associate fashion editor, TZR See On Sephora

MERIT Clean Lash Lengthening Tubing Mascara $26 "With the shape of my eyes and my affinity for glossy jet-black lashes, I’m left with limited choices that don’t smudge or look matted. Merit's Clean Lash mascara gives just the right amount of shine and pigment to make my eyes to pop without looking overly done." — Kathy Lee, editor in chief, TZR See On Merit

Glossier Lash Slick Lift and Lengthening Mascara $18 "I'm extraordinarily un-loyal when it comes to mascara and am happy to dabble in editorial or gift-with-purchase samples. But if I do buy a tube, I always default to Glossier lash slick — literally the only formula I've tried that does not smudge by 3 p.m." — Alison Syrett, deputy fashion editor, TZR See On Glossier

Il Makiage Icon Mascara $29 "I like to change up my mascaras almost daily, so I'm always on the lookout for new formulas and bold claims to try. Right now I'm loving dark brown and this Icon Mascara from Il Makiage blew me away with how well it lengthened and defined."— Jessica Fields, beauty writer, TZR See On Il Makiage
