We bristled at the idea of ‘fake lashes’. Not our thing. But successful mascara-shopping is all about knowing which wands work for your lashes, and a glimpse at the slim, bendy silicone wand for Lottie London Super Fake Mascara was our clue that this might do a great job, at a great price.

The hunch paid off. This is a completely brilliant mascara for gripping, lifting, separating and especially for tackling lower lashes, which can be tricky with bushier wands. It’s fab for accessing the teeny lashes at the inner and outer corners of the eyes. If you have fine, sparse lashes, it’s especially good, we’re finding.

It promises 12 hours of wear but delivers more than that, for us, without smudging or flaking. And honestly, no ‘falsies’ effect, on us!

But when it comes to a make-up bargain, this is definitely the real deal.
