e.l.f. Lash 'N Roll is a curling and lifting mascara designed to deliver maximum lift without a lash curler. The double-sided curved silicone brush features shorter bristles to hold formula and longer bristles to separate and lift individual lashes. The formula is long-lasting, smudge- and flake-resistant, with a washable base. Vegan and cruelty-free across all e.l.f. products.

Best for: shoppers seeking affordable curl and lift with a precision wand, and those who prefer a lighter formula that won't weigh down lashes.
