Our verdict

Sky High is the rare viral beauty product that genuinely outperforms pricier rivals — long, lifted, separated lashes for a few dollars. One of the best value buys in your makeup bag.

The short version

Sky High became a viral favorite by doing what expensive mascaras promise: serious length and lift with a flexible brush that separates lashes instead of clumping them. The bamboo-extract-and-fibers formula builds dramatic, fanned-out lashes, and it routinely wins head-to-head tests against tubes costing three times as much. For a few dollars, it's the easiest beauty win on Amazon.
