Testing mascaras is not just part of my job, it's a passion, and I can say with certainty that this mascara is one of the greats - and it costs under £10

Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara - beauty editor, katie thomas smiling wearing the mascara.

I am very particular about mascara because I am very particular about how my lashes should look. I'm not interested in the false lash effect and I don't need extra drama. What I want is the natural look, but oh-so-much more. I have extremely fair hair on my eyes, so without mascara, I look like a mole above ground. Which has meant my years as a beauty editor have largely been spent in search of the very best mascara to help me achieve this. And a couple of years ago, I found it. Since then I haven't looked back. Maybelline's Lash Sensational Sky High is my ride-or-die mascara.

Don't get me wrong there is absolutely a time and a place for a mascara that creates that va-va-voom look. One that I get out during the party season, for evening events, that sort of thing. A mascara that will perfectly compliment my go-to shimmery eyeshadow. (Incidentally, have you seen the Rabanne Highly Pigmented Mini Eyeshadow Palettes? Spectacular.)
