9 Best Mascaras For Asian Lashes That Actually Work Wonders

best mascara for asian lashes featured

Tubing mascaras

Instead of painting your lashes with pigments, tubing mascaras wrap polymers around your lashes — in a tube. They’ll only come off with warm water and muslin cloth. These make for one of the best mascaras for Asian lashes. Even on those late nights, you won’t have to fear unsightly smudges or raccoon mascara eyes.

If you’re going after length then the L’Oreal Double Extension Beauty Tube Mascara (available on L’Oreal Paris Official Store) is the best lengthening mascara for Asian lashes. This dual-sided tube includes a white primer on one end and a black mascara on the other.
Apply the white primer first and wait till it’s a little dry before applying another layer. Not only will primers condition your lashes but they’ll also lengthen and ready them for the mascara afterwards. But patience is key! Be sure to wait between applying the mascara coats to see results. Then, apply the black mascara in a zig-zag motion and voila — you’ll be ready to take on the world with your new set of fluttery peepers!

2. Clinique Lash Power Mascara

Large, clunky mascara wands can make it difficult to get under individual lashes and if you don’t have that many lashes to begin with, it becomes crucial to amplify what you already have! Clinique Lash Power Mascara’s (available on BeYOUtiful_OJJO) sleek and thin wand makes it easy to reach the base of the lashes. All you have to do is glide the wand through for an even and full coat.
Don’t forget to use the press-and-hold method when applying this mascara. Hold the wand at the base of the lashes and gradually apply pressure as you lift the wand in an upward motion. Wrapped in the tubing mascara formula, your lashes will not flake or smudge for up to 24 hours! Have oily eyelids? We hear this mascara can survive on oily skin and even that hot yoga class! Under our island’s unforgiving humidity, we think the Clinique Lash Power is one of the best mascaras for Asian lashes in Singapore!

Curling mascaras

If you’ve got straight lashes that refuse to curl whatever you do, then turn to curling mascaras for an extra lift!

3. Kiss Me Heroine Long And Curl Mascara

Raved by many YouTubers and bloggers as one of the best mascaras for Asian lashes, the Kiss Me Heroine Long and Curl Mascara (available on NANA MALL) is a J beauty product that promises an intense, long-lasting curl. Before applying the mascara, be sure to use an eyelash curler — our favourite’s the Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler (available on NANA MALL). If you feel like it, you can apply a second coat after a few minutes.
It’s an anhydrous formula which will make it hard to remove with water or regular makeup removers but there’s nothing that some oil can’t fix! It’s also packed with conditioning ingredients like argan oil and camellia japonica seed oil so your lashes won’t be dying underneath all that product!

4. Maybelline Volum’ Express Hypercurl Mascara

It can be hard to keep up with the slew of mascaras Maybelline comes up with. But if you’re looking for the best mascara for everyday wear on Asian lashes, then give the Volum’ Express Hypercurl Mascara (available on Maybelline Official Store) a try. Similar to other Maybelline mascaras, you can count on the curved wand to catch, lift and curl all your lashes perfectly.
We think one coat is enough for everyday wear but feel free to layer on more for special occasions! Check out other drugstore Maybelline makeup products if you’re on a budget.

The 200+ bristles make it easy to comb through all your lashes and add extra volume and depth. Ladies, you’ll also appreciate the thinner wand tip that’ll help get into the ends of your lashes and fan them out.
To increase the staying power of the mascara, consider using the L’Oreal Lash Paradise Mascara Primer (available on Free To Be Me Shop) before applying the mascara. The pink-tinted formula is infused with rose oil to nourish and better adhere the mascara to the lashes when applied.

Natural mascaras

For those doing a green overhaul of your makeup stash, you’ll appreciate how mascaras aren’t falling behind! Mascaras made of natural ingredients add that same amount of oomph (sometimes more) as regular mascaras!

This French brand also guarantees that at least 95% of all its products are natural or from natural origin — perfect for those of you trying to make the transition to green beauty.

Already own one of the above best mascaras but find they’re not working for your Asian lashes? Try a mascara primer then!
