A wand that doesn't make your lashes clump together, a formula that doesn't smudge and of course, ingredients that don't irritate the eyes. Luckily, natural and organic mascaras have come on leaps and bounds in the past few years, and gone are the days where you purchase a natural mascara, and it ends up under your eyes with just so much of a sniff at a teary eye.

We have narrowed down all our mascaras to our top 4 faves, so here is why we love them...
