If you only had five minutes to get ready in the morning, what makeup would you apply? For Mindy Kaling, this Live Tinted lengthening mascara is a non-negotiable.

On a recent Good Morning America segment, the actress showcased her must-have beauty products — and at the top of her list is the Live Tinted Legacy Lash Mascara. “I’m obsessed with their mascara. I’m a mascara snob. I don’t like it when it’s too clumpy, I don’t like it when it’s too wet,” she said in the clip. “I have like five minutes to get ready in the morning, this goes on perfectly.”

Kaling appreciates how this mascara performs. She says it “doesn’t leave black marks all over your face,” and it looks just as good at the end of the day as it does when you first apply it. Plus, the formula actually nourishes your lashes and encourages growth with a built-in serum.

Consider this mascara your all-in-one pick because it lengthens, volumizes and curls with just a few swipes. Like Kaling, I’m also a mascara snob, and I love that this feels totally weightless on my lashes while also producing an eye-opening effect. The skinny wand manages to grab even the tiniest lashes, and I’ve found it to be perfect for those with hooded eyes (aka, you won’t accidentally smudge formula on your lids).

In addition to Us, the Live Tinted mascara also has tons of fans — some even ditched affordable drugstore mascara in favor of this pick.

“I’ve never been able to justify spending more than $10 on mascara. I’ve tried my fair share of prestige brands as well as drugstore, and I’ve never found a prestige brand that performed significantly better. This mascara changed that for me,” one Amazon reviewer wrote.

“The design of the brush is perfect, it captures and coats every lash for maximum definition,” they continued. “The formula really does lengthen and curl my lashes; I’ve never tried another mascara that actually curls.”

When you’re short on time, the Live Tinted Legacy Lash Mascara is something you can always rely on — and I’ll always be a fan of makeup that simplifies my routine! While the full-sized option is out of stock, this discounted mini version gets you the celeb-loved find just the same!
