"For those of us not genetically blessed in the lash department, it's easy to get seduced by mascaras that lay it on thick, promising a longer, fuller, darker, curvier, more supple and clump-free fringe in just one coat. But few tubes actually deliver\u2014till now. We tested fall's newest formulas, and found the ones that make good on all their big, fat, vampy claims.\\n\\n\\n\\n                   \\n\\n[Benefit They're Real Mascara.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2011/benefit-theyre-real-mascara) A quick scan of this mascara and there doesn't seem to be anything too remarkable, except for the fun packaging. Take a closer look though and you'll see the tip of the wand has kooky, pointed bristles. These catch every little lash, even the hard-to-reach ones in the inner corners. Mine became so long they actually get caught in the crease above my lids in the morning!\\n\\n\\n\\n[Lanc\u00F4me Hypnose Doll Lashes mascara.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2012/lancome-hypnose-doll-lashes-mascara) I admit it, when I saw the name of this mascara I immediately had to try it\u2014who doesn't dream about fluttery, doll-like lashes? Two factors make this mascara a must-try for fall: First is the cone-shaped wand that catches all your lashes with long, spiky bristles. Second is the formula, which contains nylon powders that sculpt and separate your lashes, a blend of hard and soft waxes to mold them into a curved shape, and polymers that add length.\\n\\n\\n\\n[Urban Decay Lush Lash Mascara. ](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2011/urban-decay-lush-lash-mascara)This lengthening and volumizing formula not only has panthenol (Vitamin B5) to condition your lashes, but it also contains a peptide-infused serum to help boost growth (without all the scary side effects). Normally, I shy away from these types of products because I worry about them not working, but I'm a fan of this one's hourglass-shaped wand that really does darken and lengthen.\\n\\n\\n\\n[Rimmel London Extra WOW Lash Mascara.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2011/rimmel-extra-wow-mascara) Described as a \\\"lash building mascara,\\\" you are supposed to be able to layer this for a look that transitions from demure to dramatic. Usually I find if you layer mascara too much you always end up with spider lashes (and not the cool kind we saw on the runways this fall), so I was surprised to find this wasn't the case here. Two coats and my lashes look soft and flirty, and after a few more they were thick and vampy, with no clumps in sight. Another plus? The intensity of the black pigment made it look like I was wearing eyeliner even though my lids were bare.\\n\\n\\n\\n[Dolce &amp; Gabbana Secret Eyes Mascara.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2011/dolce-gabbana-secret-eyes-mascara) \\\"I love how this separates and defines your lashes,\\\" says beauty news editor Heather Muir who's a fan of this lengthening formula. Try two coats for a subtle daytime look, and then pile it on for a more dramatic nighttime effect.\\n\\n\\n\\n__RELATED LINKS:__\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  [Daily Beauty Reporter: Lash Alert: Clumped Up Fringe Is In](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2011/07/makeup-ideas-how-to-pull-off-t.html)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  [Daily Beauty Reporter: How to Get Compliments on Your Lashes](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2011/07/how-to-get-compliments-on-your-lashes.html)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  [Daily Beauty Reporter: Lashes: How Long Is Too Long?](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2011/03/lashes-how-long-is-too-long.html)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
