This was the most pinned mascara on Pinterest in 2017

And we get it, because it's a game-changer

The search for the best mascara can be a tough one but once you find it, you'll never let it go. The perfect one will separate and lengthen your lashes to high heaven, while also amping them up with volumising and curling properties to boot.

We're lucky enough to live in a world where said search is greatly assisted by the internet, and rave reviews are only a click away with the help of good old social media.

Pinterest's 100 report, which predicts the biggest beauty trends of the year based on the most saved trends, revealed that searches for 'lashes' went up 152% at the last year. So what's the most pinned mascara on the app?

It's no surprise that 2017's most popular mascara on Pinterest was Too Faced's Better Than Sex – Team MC dubbed it one of the best mascara formulas in our round up of the greatest. It's a game-changer.

The hero formula, which comes in the blackest of black, is enriched with collagen and its hourglass shaped brush coaxes your lashes into a brilliant, volumised lift.
