10 Best Hypoallergenic Mascaras 2024 | UK Makeup Artist Reviewed

In terms of suitability for sensitive eyes, this mascara ticks every box! The ingredients list is simple, but this product adds an amazing amount of length and volume to your lashes. 

We love the slim brush, which will help you to reach even those tiny hairs in the corners of your eyes. Plus, it carefully separates every lash, adding definition for a bold final look. Budget-friendly, delicate, and smudge-proof - this really is the best hypoallergenic mascara out there!

Hypnôse mascara by Lancôme is iconic - and for a good reason! It's incredibly buildable, which allows you to control how dramatic you want your final look to be. Whether you just want a slight boost to your natural lashes or you're after a striking evening look, the elegant wand will work magic on your eyes!

The unique formula provides intense colour while leaving lashes feeling soft and supple rather than feeling heavy. Although this is one of the pricier products on our list, it's totally worth it if you fancy some luxury!

We recommend Grand Entrance by Elizabeth Arden if you're looking for something that's long-lasting without being waterproof. The formula is water-resistant, so it can tolerate water to a certain extent but can be removed much more quickly than a waterproof product.

Thanks to the delicate curved brush, this mascara instantly provides volume with just one or two coats. We can't think of a better way to add a touch of glamour to your makeup routine!

Eye Care is known for formulating makeup especially for sensitive eyes, with carefully selected ingredients that won't cause irritation. This is a gentle product that's suitable for even the most delicate peepers.

We love the fact that this formula is enriched with silicium, which strengthens your lashes and helps them to grow longer. While it does have a subtle odour during the application process, you won't notice it at all once it's dried!

You might already be familiar with La Roche-Posay, a French brand that creates products especially for sensitive skin. The great news is that they also have a makeup line - perfect if you're looking for a mascara that won't irritate sensitive eyes!

This hypoallergenic formula not only adds definition, but it noticeably increases lash length. Best of all, the light, creamy texture of the liquid makes it feel like you're wearing nothing at all!

Poppy Austin is a small UK-based brand dedicated to offering high-quality skincare products that are vegan, cruelty-free and all-natural. True to form, this mascara is palm-oil free, contains organic ingredients, and is 100% vegan.

Its main ingredient is argan oil, a natural ingredient that'll smooth and nourish your lashes as it volumises them. It's also smudge-proof and flake-resistant, making this a great, eco-conscious pick.

As the name suggests, this affordable mascara focuses on giving your lashes a noticeable curl. It also creates plenty of definition without requiring too many coats, meaning that one tube will last you a while!

Although it provides your lashes with an instant lift, the formula is quite thick and can be drying if used everyday. It also contains collagen so unfortunately it isn't suitable for vegans.

This luscious lengthening mascara from No7 coincidentally lands at number 7 on our list! We love its simple ingredients listing, which doesn't overload the delicate eye area with too many irritants. Plus, it's extremely buildable.

However, users either love or hate its brush - while some find it to be ultra-flexible and perfect for reaching lashes in the corners of the eyes, others say that this actually makes it harder to control!

This mascara is one of Clinique's gentler products - it's designed especially for sensitive eyes and ophthalmologist-tested, for your peace of mind.

The staying power of this waterproof product is a definite plus for us, as hypoallergenic formulas are often prone to smudging. However, this also means that it's harder to remove at the end of the day than some of the other options on our list.

This dreamy option from L'Oréal will make your lashes appear longer and thicker, thanks to the addition of silky castor oil.

While this product is totally flake-free and ophthalmologist tested, castor oil can sometimes be a mild irritant. So, if you have extremely sensitive eyes or you know that this particular ingredient doesn't agree with your peepers, you may want to give this mascara a miss!
