Finding the right mascara involves a bit of trial and error. One may go on smooth, then flake off hours later. Another may clump as soon as it touches your lashes, but remains locked in place all day long.

Though many drug store mascaras are beloved by their long-term users, sometimes you want a nicer mascara that’s a step up from your go-to L’Oreal and Maybelline. That’s why we’ve skimmed Sephora’s best mascaras to find the ones that’ll hold up through a work day or a date night out.

Whether you want a mascara that lengthens, volumizes, defines, primes, is cruelty-free or does all-in-one, there’s something below for everyone. We’ve also included promising reviews of each products, so you can find the right fit for your lashes.

Below, Sephora’s 10 best-selling mascaras:

Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara
Sephora

Loves: 260,000

Promising review: "I was a little skeptical about spending $23 on mascara, but I'm so glad I did! Never clumps on your lashes, no matter how many coats you put on. The brush is more plastic than 'brush' which keeps your lashes separated and allows for multiple coats. Holds the curl of my lashes very well. ONLY down side is it's kind of hard to take off, but I would still recommend to anyone!"
