Milk Makeup also gets points for its sustainability.

Tower 28, Ilia, Milk Makeup mascaras

This classic product lands on our list as the best budget buy, clocking in under $10.

Though its parent company Coty Inc isn’t, CoverGirl itself is a cruelty-free brand with several vegan options.

Its Clump Crusher mascara falls into both of these categories, being a great budget pick for animal lovers.

Milk Makeup Kush High Volume Mascara

At such a great price point, it’s definitely worth checking out.

Its slight hourglass shape and combination of short and long bristles give lashes a defined and lengthened appearance.

The biggest drawback to ILIA Limitless Lash Mascara is that it falls on the pricier side.

Otherwise, I definitely recommend it.

Water-resistant products are considered the better option, despite not being quite as tough against water as their counterparts.

I also appreciate this mascara’s thick brush, which makes coating lashes an easy feat.
