Lancôme Hypnôse Drama, £19.50.
Lauren says ‘Good-quality mascara with a nice soft brush. Really liked the sparkly effect – fantastic for a party look. ★ ★ ★ ★

Paul & Joe waterproof mascara, £18.50.
Gorgeous packaging. Coats the lashes well but is, if anything, too waterproof – even with make-up remover I found it difficult to budge. ★ ★

Givenchy Phenomenon Eyes, £18.11.
Tricky to apply to top lashes but it is really good for coating underneath your eye, particularly for accentuating separate lashes. ★ ★ ★

Maybelline Colossal, £6.99.
This is my favourite. The brush itself is fantastic for coating every single lash so you don’t have to keep reapplying – and it doesn’t smudge. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Prescriptives Motor-Eyes, £25.45.
I love the consistency of this – really glossy and black. I was less keen on the vibrating stick – a bit tricksy – but a good result overall. ★ ★ ★

Guerlain Two-Brush, £22.
Sleek-looking mascara, although not sure about the advantage of having brushes at each end – the larger one was good and applied well. ★ ★ ★
