If I had to choose a favorite makeup item, it would have to be mascara. I love the way a slick of mascara opens up my eyes and brightens my face, without the commitment of lash extensions. But because I have stick straight lashes, it can be difficult to find formulas that curl and lift my lashes with lasting hold. As a beauty editor, I’ve tried my fair share of options and am sharing my faves — all from Ulta — right here.
