If you haven't bought into the whole plastic-bristle phenomenon in mascara, we've got five reasons for you to get on it. Like, today. Because unlike those old-school hairbrush-like wands of days yore, slippery plastic keep mascara from clumping. Ever. They're amazing.For glossy daytime lashes: Maybelline New York Define-a-Lash.
You can push and bend this Gumby flexible wand right into your lash line, and the effect is shiny but not over-the-top.

Long and super-defined: Lancôme High Définicils High Definition Mascara.
Remember how women used to pick through their lashes with needles to separate them? Well, this mascara has that effect... minus the potential for eye gouging.
High volume: Max Factor Volume Couture.
Makeup czar Pat McGrath turned us onto this one backstage at the shows (lemme tell you: woman is o-b-s-e-s-s-e-d). Anyway, true to its name, it gives your lashes lots and lots of volume, but the plastic bristles (have I stressed this point enough?) ensure that all that hugeness doesn't come with a side of spidery-ness.

Lush and feathery: Chanel Exceptionnel de Chanel.
With alternating rows of regular bristles and plastic combs, this looks kinda freaky at first. But seriously people, it's the absolute best for delivering soft and feathery lashes that look way lush. Bonus: the wand's tip is pointy enough to get at small inner lashes without smudging—so key.

Long and densely black: L'Oréal Paris Carbon Black Telescopic.
If you want serious nighttime eyes, this is the mascara for you. Its totally bizarre brush is actually made up of four combs that deposit tons and tons of smooth, super-dark color on your lashes.
