Mascaras are instant enhancers to your eyelashes and gives that immediate magnifying effect to our eyes. Everyone has different set of needs - some prioritize lengthening, some volumizing and some curling - however we can all agree that in Singapore’s humid weather “smudge proof” is an essential criterion the mascara must possess.
We definitely do not want to suffer racoon-eyes at the end of the day - I pick out five highly acclaimed “holy grail” mascaras we cannot miss out on trying!
