Volumizing Mascara 

Volumizing mascara is one of the most effective tools in the kit for getting bright, appealing eyelashes without a lot of fuss during your morning makeup routine. Shop for the best thickening mascara products and brands online through CVS, where you'll find a great selection. 

Best Drugstore Mascara for Volume 

When you want bold lashes without big spend, a budget-friendly mascara is important. Some of the best volumizing mascara products are found at the drugstore, and you can shop options that rival high-end brands at CVS.  

Look for features like volumizing waxes and fanned-out or bristle-packed brushes that help you coat every lash evenly. Popular options include L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Makeup Lash Paradise waterproof mascara or CoverGirl Professional mascara. The active formula in products like CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion mascara bolsters lashes for dramatic volume.  

What Does Volumizing Mascara Do?

Volumizing mascara plumps up your eyelashes and makes them appear thicker than they naturally are. The best thickening mascara achieves a subtle effect to draw attention to your eyes. The best volumizing mascara gently hydrates and accentuates your eyelashes, so there's less of an obvious coating on them and the fine hairs appear to be thicker and fuller. Washable mascara is a popular choice for people who like the bright-eyed look volumizing mascara gives but want it to easily rinse away at the end of the day. 

What Is the Best Mascara for Volume & Length?

For many people, an ideal mascara combines volumizing and lengthening properties. If the best drugstore mascara for volume in your book is also one that lengthens, there are plenty of products to choose from. Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara offers length, definition and volume, all with a fiber-infused, waterproof formula for all-day wear.  

Other dual mascara products that improve lash length and volume include L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Original washable mascara and L.A. Girl Fiber Lash mascara

When choosing a mascara, remember that: 

  • Dense bristles on the brush typically help build volume 

  • Finer fibers can help extend length when you layer them  

  • Buildable or fiber-infused formulas tend to help with volume and length 

What Is the Most Volumizing Mascara?

Volumizing mascara is judged by how well it plumps out your eyelashes, how it looks when you wear it, how long it lasts and whether it's easy to wash off. If you're looking for maximum thickening, L'Oreal and essence offer volumizing mascara that also lengthens and accentuates eyelashes for the strongest effect you can get with the minimal amount of makeup use. If you're looking for something more subtle, CoverGirl's volumizing mascara uses an extra fine-toothed applicator brush to get between individual lashes and more evenly apply a coat to each eyelash. 

How to Apply Volumizing Mascara

Start with clean, dry eyes. Take the applicator cap off of the bottle of mascara, and apply it to your eyelashes with multiple upward strokes. Try to hold your eyes still, and don't flutter your eyelids while brushing on the mascara, or the coat may not be even. When it's time to remove the mascara, gently press your eyes and lashes with a makeup remover wipe or cotton ball with makeup remover applied, against each closed eye for about 30 seconds, and gently wipe clean. Depending on the formula your volumizing mascara uses, you might need an oil-based balm for complete removal.
