Lauren Luke's volumising mascaras

Lauren Luke: Mascaras: Lauren Luke: Mascaras, Big Fake
Collection 2000 Big Fake False Lash Effect £4.99, available nationwide.
Lauren says: Gives a deep, dark effect but I wish the brush had been a little smaller – tricky to stop the product touching my skin. Great price – so apply with a steady hand for a decent coating. ★★★

Lauren Luke: Mascaras: Lauren Luke: Mascaras, Clinique
Clinique Limited Edition High ­Impact mascara, £14.50.
Lauren says: Has a good size brush – ideal for separating lashes – and a rich colour. Tough to remove. ★★★

Lauren Luke: Mascaras: Lauren Luke: Mascaras, Dior
DiorShow Extase mascara, £21.50.
Lauren says: Too much mascara comes out on each application. A rich black texture that looks great if you use a lash comb. Too much ­effort for the price. ★★★

Lauren Luke: Mascaras: Lauren Luke: Mascaras, L'Oreal
L’Oréal Paris Volume Million Lashes £10.99, available nationwide.
Lauren says: This was let down by the plastic wand. Almost too good at anti-clumping, making my lashes long and spiky with gaps. But it’s a great price, and easy to ­remove. ★★★

Lauren Luke: Mascaras: Lauren Luke: Mascaras, Maybelline
Maybelline The Falsies Volum’ ­Express £7.99, available nationwide.
Lauren says: This gave plenty of volume and I will definitely use it again. Removes easily, too, which is a bonus. ★★★★★

Lauren Luke: Mascaras: Lauren Luke: Mascaras, YSL
YSL Luxurious Mascara False Lash Effect in Noir Radical, £21.50.
Lauren says: Applies like a dream and gives great-looking lash. It would be my favourite if it weren’t so pricey. Try it if you’re feeling flush. ★★★★
