MakeWaves® Mascara

"Volume and length for eyes that water if you look at them wrong."

Our take
$20 Price at Tower 28, checked Oct 2026.
The short answer

Tower 28 MakeWaves Mascara is a vegan mascara made for sensitive eyes that volumizes, lengthens and defines. At $20 it is worth it if regular mascaras irritate your eyes or flake. It uses a dual-sided wave brush and comes in Jet and Drift.

A vegan mascara made to be safe for sensitive eyes that visibly volumizes, lengthens and defines for natural-looking lashes. It is lightweight and buildable without getting crunchy or clumpy.

  • 8.5 ml / 0.29 fl oz full size, 5 ml / 0.17 fl oz mini
  • Fragrance free, essential oil free, vegan; ophthalmologist tested
  • Shades: Jet and Drift
How to use
Use the inner wave of the brush to build volume and the longer bristles to lengthen and define. Remove with a gentle cleanser and water.

Our Take

Why it made the edit.

Why we love it
It is ophthalmologist-tested and fragrance-free, which matters if you wear contacts or have watery eyes. The dual-sided brush lets you build volume and length with one wand.
Skip it if
You want dramatic, false-lash volume.
The catch
Gentle formulas tend to give a natural look rather than a bold one, so drama lovers may want more.
