The Best Mascaras Of 2020 — Including This $5 Winner

For a mascara to be the trusted beauty staple at the top of our makeup bags, it needs to be long-lasting, deliver volume, and define our eyes without clumping. This year, four brands checked those boxes and then some with innovative launches that use cleaner ingredients, feature better and smarter wands, and keep the pigment on our lashes instead of around our eyes.

For Refinery29's 2020 Beauty Innovator Awards, our judges took the year's newest mascaras for a spin, and these four emerged victorious. Check them out, ahead.

Urban Decay Lash Freak Mascara

The neon green applicator on this mascara might give you How The Grinch Stole Christmas vibes, but it won't steal your holiday cheer — only amplify it. The difference is in the tip's bristles, which define and lengthen every teeny-tiny lash.

L'Oréal Paris Bambi Mascara

Ever looked at Bambi and thought, How did this animated deer get such amazing lashes?You can thank a Disney illustrator for those, but this mascara comes close in mimicking that doe-eyed effect. It volumizes your lashes without clumping and has short and long bristles to catch every hair.

Kosas The Big Clean Mascara

Made with castor oil, pro-vitamin B5, and biotinoyl tripeptide-1, this clean mascara nourishes lashes while giving you a defined and bold look only rivaled by eyelash extensions.

Essence Bye Bye Panda Eyes! Mascara

If the condensation of your face mask-and-glasses combo keeps smudging your lashes, we'd suggest this mascara from Essence. It won't budge or smudge until you're ready to wash it off with warm water. As if it couldn't be more perfect, it's only $4.99, making it quite possibly the best thing to come out of 2020.
