Whether you’re looking for an affordable drugstore mascara, a waterproof pick or a luxurious high-end mascara to lengthen, curls and volumise — we’ve got your lashes covered!

We love mascara, whether we’re using it to give our eyelashes a little lift or as the very last step in a full-face makeup look. Whatever it may be, we always love something lengthening and tinting, curling and volumising. New mascaras on the market are more waterproof (and sweat and humidity-proof!) than ever and even come in innovative tubing formulas, a wider array of colours and at more affordable and luxurious price points. Ahead, we’ve rounded up our top 10 mascara picks available to buy in Hong Kong right now!

Our Favourite Mascaras

Isehan KissMe Heroine Make, Long And Curl Advanced Film Mascara, $82

Our first spot goes to a Hong Kong staple — the KISSME Heroine Make Mascara! Available to buy at any SaSa and Watsons (as well as iHerb and YesStyle!), this affordable Japanese mascara has long been the go-to for short, stubborn lashes, lengthening, curling and staying on for seemingly forever. The brand carries a few varieties including regular, waterproof and coloured versions. We like this Advanced Film one — and always pick up the brand’s mascara remover to go with it.

best mascara mascaras hong kong beauty romand han all fix mascara long black brown lengthening korean affordable kbeauty

rom&nd, Han All Fix Mascara L01 Long Black, US$18 (around $141)

This Korean pick gives our No. 1 a good run for its money — it’s highly resistant against water and oil, not too pricey and gives even the most stubborn of short and straight lashes length and a lift. The curved spoolie on this mascara ensures every lash is neatly coated. It’s available in traditional black as well as as an ashy grey-brown and a more chocolate-leaning hazel brown. Be warned, however, it needs a good mascara remover to come off.
