Even though clumpy, overdone lashes are definitely a trend in the beauty world right now, not everyone wants a piece of that particular action—sometimes you just want perfectly long, dark, voluminous lashes sans spider leg action. And that’s where we come in: no matter what type of eyelashes you have or what you’re looking for in a product, we’ve got a brilliant, non-clumping mascara for you. These are the very best mascaras that don’t clump—prepare to find your future favorite.
Choose Marc Jacobs Beauty‘s new mascara for long lashes without the heaviness, Clé de Peau Beauté’s for a truly waterproof formula or Buxom’s for all the curl. CoverGirl‘s Crump Crusher mascara is one of the best drugstore choices out there and does exactly what the name promises. If you’re looking for a more natural vibe, like your own lashes but darker and longer, try Glossier’s Lash Slick. It’s water-resistant but comes off with any cleanser.
Shop some of our favorite non-clumping mascaras, below. And remember, the key to no clumps is in how you apply it. As you layer, don’t wait for the formula to dry in between. Just keep swiping until you see the desired length and volume.

CoverGirl LashBlast Clump Crusher
The curved, plastic brush with angled teeth really helps get every single lash covered in mascara, even those difficult little corner ones. But the best part about this mascara is the formula; it’s truly smudge-resistant and builds beautifully without ever giving you that spider-leg look.

Buxom Sculpted Lash Mascara
This mascara has an S-shaped brush and a formula that actually delivers on the promise of curlier lashes. The polymer-rich formula lifts lashes at the root, then coats them in thin, blacker-than-black mascara.

The big, fluffy brush probably clues you into the fact that this mascara is going to build mega volume, but until you try it, you really have no idea how big and thick your eyelashes can actually be. A single coat of this mascara is like applying three coats of anything else, and unlike many other volumizing mascaras we’ve tried, this doesn’t dry out your lashes.
