More than most makeup, mascara can inspire a lot of loyalty: Some of us need length, some demand volume. Clumps are deal breakers for some and tolerable for others. Once a woman finds the brand that works for her, she often won’t want to risk change — regardless of the price — and I get it. However, if you’re looking for an everyday, affordable option to open up and define your eyes, it’s out there.

Save with CoverGirl Lash Perfection Mascara $6.49 This mascara builds volume and length through multiple coats ­— making it easy to create the definition you want without overdoing it — resists flaking and removes thoroughly with soap and water.
