Lets start with the bad news: Mascara has the shortest shelf life of all beauty products.
You should be tossing yours just three months after opening it.
We talked to several makeup artists, who gave us their opinions on the best drugstore mascaras.

Its great for long, feathery lashes without clumping, she said.
This mascara is perfect for everyone and every day.
This drugstore mascara is available in black, blackest black and carbon black as well as waterproof.
The carbon black formula contains panthenol and ceramides to strengthen your lashes, Green said.
Together, these two products make the ultimate duo, Ascension said.
They lift, separate and build your lashes, giving you that big, bold, Instagram lash look.
Ascensio even said this combo makes you look as if youre wearing falsies daily without the hassle and glue.
Its great for anyone looking for a more natural lash look, she said.
It really helps to separate and define your individual lashes while providing good lift, and hold as well.
Bonus: Its also waterproof.
As a result, it works well, even for beginners just wipe it off if youve messed up.
Its also waterproof, cruelty-free and doesnt irritate sensitive eyes.
One side of the brush is an hourglass shape, and the other half is a more rounded shape.
This helps coat each of your lashes evenly with their matte black formula, Jordan said.
NYX is a cruelty-free brand thats certified by PETA.
Its free from beeswax and other animal ingredients, making this a vegan-friendly mascara as well.
Organic ingredients include olive fruit extract, orange fruit water, soybean oil and olive leaf extract.
The accompanying wand has soft plastic bristles for thicker coverage, producing a fuller illusion.
I love that the bristles are gentle on my lashes without tugging, Rose said.
