Like every other makeup lover on Earth, we can’t live without mascara. It’s an indispensable part of our daily routine, and our beauty kit just isn’t fully complete without a handful of different formulas: something waterproof, something volumizing, something blue and our most recent conquest, the perfect mascara to give some life to our previously unacknowledged bottom lashes. So if you’ve ever used a fat wand of mascara to attempt to define those tiny lashes and smudged it all over your face (we’ve been there), this one’s for you. Ahead, discover five different formulas and wand shapes — all of which will define your bottom lashes without clumping or smearing.--The Formula That’ll Neatly Coat Every One of Your LashesNYX Professional Makeup The Skinny Mascara, $7We can always rely on NYX Professional Makeup to bring us all of the essential beauty products, including a mascara made for our teeniest lashes. Enter, the Skinny Mascara, a product designed to coat even your thinnest lashes without smearing or clumping. If you’re looking for a neat, defined lash look, this $7 godsend is perfect for you. The Drugstore Favorite With Nearly All Five-Star Reviews on Ulta Maybelline Lash Discovery Mascara, $7.99Maybelline doesn’t play around when it comes to mascara — Great Lash (an all-time drugstore fave) serving as just one example. Lash Discovery Mascara, a formula with hundreds of positive reviews on Ulta, has a mini-brush that as one reviewer puts it, “is perfect for those tiny lashes you want to bring out.” You’ll love what this does for your bottom lashes, but you’ll want it to pair it with a traditional mascara like Maybelline Total Temptation.The Micro-Bristle Mascara You Didn’t Know You NeededInnisfree Skinny Microcara Black Mascara, $10 K-Beauty brand Innisfree does it all: skincare, makeup, body, hair — you name it.

The formula is perfect for the summer months because it won’t smudge — even after a long, sweaty day at the pool or beach.
