Finding the best mascara is right up there on our list of beauty must-haves, next to the perfect red lipstick . But getting your hands on the right tube of mascara to lengthen, darken or curl your eyelashes requires a lot of trial and error. Not to mention, money.

The editors here at HuffPost Lifestyle have remained loyal to a few of the best mascaras. While we don't mind paying extra for the cult classic Dior DiorShow Blackout , we're also partial to more affordable ones like CoverGirl's LashBlast line , which gives any luxury brand stiff competition.
