I decided to try out Kendall Jenner's favorite mascara, priced at just $16, and the results were astonishing—it gave my lashes a fluttery look with extension-like length.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have my makeup done by skilled professionals on a few occasions. Whenever they ask about my ideal lash look, I can't help but excitedly mention Kendall Jenner! Her lashes are always so long, fluttery, and natural, whether she’s taking a casual selfie or gracing a red carpet event in full glam.
While I’ve considered getting lash extensions to replicate her stunning look, I ultimately prefer a more low-maintenance beauty routine that doesn’t rely heavily on frequent appointments. Plus, I occasionally embrace the no-mascara trend, which encourages a more natural aesthetic. This is why I often turn to mascara as my go-to option.
Recently, I experimented with a mascara that’s said to be one of Kendall Jenner’s favorites, and I completely understand the hype surrounding it. With its thin, firm brush and flexible formula, it delivered long, Jenner-worthy lashes. What’s even better? It's an affordable drugstore find, costing only $16 per tube. Keep reading to discover why this has become my new staple mascara, along with some before-and-after images.
Let me introduce you to L'Oréal's Extensionist Lengthening and Curling Washable Mascara. This product is the latest addition to L'Oréal's lineup, and it features Kendall Jenner as the face of the campaign since she is their global ambassador. It promises benefits such as lengthening and curling, which I will elaborate on shortly.
To give you some background, I've previously found only two mascaras that effectively mimic the lash look I admire in Jenner. The first is Refy's Lash Sculpt Lengthen and Lift Mascara, which retails for $28. This mascara has been my reliable choice for years, as its curved brush lifts and separates my lashes beautifully, while its flexible formula ensures I never experience clumping or heaviness. It truly embodies the "no-makeup makeup" effect.
The second mascara that I swear by is another drugstore gem—Maybelline's Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara, priced at $11. Many celebrity makeup artists, including Kelli Anne Sewell and Alexandra French, have recommended this product to me. It excels in lengthening, lifting, and curling without any flaking or clumping.
When I learned about L'Oréal’s new mascara designed to replicate the appearance of lash extensions, I was cautiously excited, as I’ve had mixed experiences with similar products in the past. However, this particular one exceeded my expectations. My before-and-after photos speak volumes!

I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with this mascara. Its formula is lightweight, buildable, and flexible, which means no clumping, flaking, or crustiness throughout the day (you know what I mean!). The standout feature is undoubtedly the brush: a short, dense plastic applicator that I adore. It applies just the right amount of product to my lashes, lifting and lengthening them beautifully.
The effects lasted throughout an entire hectic 14-hour workday. And when it came time to remove it, I didn’t need any harsh, oily makeup removers; the washable formula easily came off with my regular cleanser. It was a breeze to apply and remove.
Since my initial test, I’ve been wearing this mascara nearly every day. I’m thrilled to share that I’ve found my third essential mascara for achieving those coveted Jenner-style lashes.
Additionally, here are five more eye products that I love:
- Refy Lash Sculpt Lengthen and Lift Mascara - As mentioned earlier, if you’re after naturally beautiful, fluttery lashes, this mascara is a must-try.
- Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Lengthening Mascara - A fan favorite among makeup artists for its remarkable length and lift.
- Kiss Lash Atelier Individual Lash Extension Kit - Natural - Perfect for special occasions like weddings, I like to enhance my mascara with individual lash clusters on the outer corners. I find these to look much more natural than strip lashes, which I tend to avoid.
- Merit Solo Shadow Cream Eyeshadow - Studio - I’m obsessed with this lovely cool taupe shade that is perfect for creating subtle everyday makeup looks.
- Victoria Beckham Beauty Satin Kajal Liner - Cocoa Pavé - I can confidently say that these are my favorite pencil eyeliners. They are creamy, richly pigmented, and come in a fantastic range of beautiful colors. I’m currently loving the cool brown shimmer shade called Cocoa Pavé.
