The Viral Drugstore Mascara That Stands Up To Expensive Brands

Writer Isabella Bartlett

"I'm a big drugstore mascara person," says Nogueira in her TikTok video, before applying her drugstore favorite Maybelline Sky High mascara to one eye and the Hourglass mascara to the other, and then letting viewers compare them at one coat, two coats, and three coats. She even points out that the wands look almost identical.

The TikTok has over 290 thousand likes and there are over two thousand comments from fans, mostly agreeing that there's little difference between the two brands — and if there is, buying the more expensive mascara isn't worth it due to the price difference. If you do decide to pick up a tube of the Maybelline mascara from the drugstore, it won't set you back any more than a few dollars, so it could well be worth trying out.

According to Refinery29, the mascara has a "super flexible wand," letting you "properly coat each hair," along with its "extreme lengthening properties". That, along with the evidence as seen in Nogueira's TikTok, is definitely good enough for us. Just make sure you don't share it with anybody.
