She received a bachelor’s degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology, where she studied marketing and product development in the cosmetics industry. She has tested countless washable and waterproof mascaras, including several on this list. Alyssa has been a commerce writer at Byrdie since 2022, where she covers all things beauty. While some waterproof formulas can be nearly impossible to remove without harsh rubbing with makeup remover, this one came off surprisingly well with just a few swipes of a cotton pad soaked in makeup remover.It’s not often that a brand groups a moisturizer and a mascara under the same line, but considering that Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost line is all about plumping and replenishing, it makes sense. Just like the iconic moisturizer, this mascara utilizes the power of hyaluronic acidfor its hydrating and plumping benefits. The nourishing formula and the tapered wand work in tandem to provide extreme volume and a silky feel in just one coat.

She is an experienced product tester and has tried hundreds of mascaras over the years, including a number of the formulas that appear on this list. This has been one of those products that I’ve heard countless celebs, MUAs and Beauty Editor friends talk about for years, to the point that it started to sound a bit like white noise. I'm guilty of delaying trying things everyone's talking about - a super stubborn habit. I'm always the last one to watch that binge-worthy TV series and often find myself watching those big Oscar-winning films 5-10 years after their release.

On testing, I hoped that the uber-creamy formula wasn’t going to leave my lashes overly wet and clumpy but I need not have worried. Taking the wand from the tube, it releases with a satisfying ‘pop’ and I appreciate that, although quite chunky in size, the tapered bristles on the brush are fully loaded without the messy residue that I’ve experienced with larger mascara brushes. A great choice for anyone looking to achieve a false eyelash effect without actually applying them, this mascara volumizes lashes without smudging or running.Would I go for the full pelt application every day? Maybe not – but that’s because I'm used to the less is more look. For those who want all-out va-va-voom and have mastered how to apply false eyelashes to get it, you’ll have no trouble achieving a similarly dramatic look with Monsieur Big. HOW DOES IT WEAR?
