Fab Five... Mascaras

1. Maybelline New York Great Lash mascara, £4.99
Once upon a time, Maybelline's legendary Great Lash mascara wasn't available in Britain and we had to beg friends and family to stock up for us when they went to America. When it finally crossed the pond those iconic pink and green tubes literally flew off the shelves! Years later, this product is still a firm favourite with beauty fans, celebs and make-up artists, who value its foolproof formula that creates long, full lashes with no clumping. Try two coats for a seriously vampy effect. Available nationwide

2.e.l.f Earth & Water Mascara Duo, £1.50
We cannot believe the bargainous price of e.l.f's (that's Eyes Lips Face) Earth & Water mascara - £1.50! And for that incredible sum you get a mascara that's unbelievably effective with a handy duo applicator (that's regular and waterproof). The formula contains Liquid-Flex Technology and a vitamin complex to prevent smudging and create a rich, natural looking colour. Stockist enquiries: www.eyeslipsface.co.uk

3. Bobbi Brown Lash Glamour Lengthening Mascara, £17
If you can spend a little more on your mascara, Bobbi Brown's Lash Glamour Lengthening Mascara is a good investment. Designed to give you a 'false lash' effect (so not ideal if you prefer the natural look), this mascara does it all, lengthening, defining and lifting lashes. Bobbi herself says, "Lash Glamour is an easy way for a woman to get the look of fake lashes. Don't be afraid to brush it on both top and bottom lashes. The look we're going for is high-impact."

4. M.A.C Zoom Lash mascara in Zoom Black, £12.00
If you want a Bambi-like, sex kittenish gaze, finding a mascara that lifts and curls lashes to impressive heights is key and that is exactly what MAC's Zoom Lash mascara does. The precision control wand glides smoothly onto lashes to create a silky upward sweep, plus it's smudgeproof and long-wearing, making it an essential tool for a glam night out. Stockist enquiries: 0870 034 2676 and www.maccosmetics.co.uk

5. Avon SuperSHOCK Mascara, £8
Avon shed its fuddy-duddy image long ago and with Hollywood star Reese Witherspoon as its 'face', the brand is going from strength to strength. Their SuperSHOCK mascara is a must-have for your make-up bag, thanks to its extra large brush, thickening base coat and plumping metallic colour which all combine to give you lashes with major va-va-voom! www.avonshop.co.uk or your local Avon Represenative
