Here, ELLE Australia editors reveal the wands they reach for all year round.
Lancôme Hypnose Mascara, $52, at Lancôme
“The formula is blacker than midnight and bulks up every single one of my teeny, itty bitty blonde lashes.” – Amy Starr, beauty & lifestyle director
Clinique High Impact Waterproof Mascara, $39, at Clinique
“This stuff never smudges. It won’t move down your face after a splash in the sea or run down your face after a tear at the cinema, which makes it the most reliable product in my beauty bag.” – Brooke Bickmore, workflow director
Benefit They’re Real! Mascara, $42, at Myer
“I’ve never been tempted to flutter my lashes until I discovered Benefit’s “They’re Real!”. I’m loving how it lengthens and separates my lashes and the domed tip gets right to the ends.” – Genevra Leek, Features & Fashion News Director
Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara, $50, at Estee Lauder
“The brush is fat and fluffy, but tapered enough so it can catch and coat even the tiny, inner corner lashes with the mousy black formula.” – Sara McLean, acting beauty & fitness director
Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara Washable in Blackest Black, $21.95, at Priceline
“This is my must-have mascara.” – Rachel Wayman, fashion director

Kevyn Aucoin The Volume Mascara, $40, at Mecca
“This formula gives plenty of volume plus it’s tubular, so you don’t have to worry about it smudging.” – Erin Cook, online beauty and lifestyle writer
Tarte Tarteist Lash Paint Mascara, $17, at Sephora
“This is the perfect handbag mascara.The brush is big and fluffy, lifting your lashes right up, and no matter how many layers you apply, the formula never clumps.” –Meg Bellemore, online beauty and lifestyle editor
