Always a style icon, whenever I see Mobland star Dame Helen Mirren I can't help but notice her amazing eyelashes, and she says they're thanks to a very affordable mascara.
I saved the Insta picture of the Hollywood star applying L'Oreal's Voluminous Panorama Mascara (shop here in US) last year, and while admittedly she works for the brand, the drugstore product get seriously good reviews online.
- Helen Mirren swears by L'Oreal's Voluminous Panorama Mascara, £9.54 / $11.82.
- Shoppers love it too as it makes their lashes "double the size", "long" and "voluminous" with "no smudging".
- She also uses L'Oreal's "fabulous" True Match Foundation, which is a favourite of many of her makeup artists.

"I am absolutely in love with this mascara! From the very first swipe, I was blown away," wrote one. "It genuinely makes my eyelashes look double the size – they're incredibly long, voluminous, and perfectly separated. I've tried so many mascaras, and nothing has given me results like this. It's truly a game-changer for my everyday makeup routine."
HELEN'S MASCARA: L'Oreal's Voluminous Panorama Mascara
While another said: "I've seen this recommended on TikTok and found Amazon to have the best price. This mascara makes my lashes so long and voluminous! The colour is a deep black and it doesn't seem to have a smell. Haven't noticed any smudging throughout the day. An oil cleanser would probably be best to remove this as its quite long wearing but I'd buy again 100 times."
And another added: "I’m a cosmetics sceptic. I read the reviews of this mascara, and at £10, decided to try it. Amazing. I’m 66, not blessed with lush lashes, but this has given me more! Coverage is great, reaches every tiny, precious eyelash. I genuinely recommend you give it a go. About to purchase more.."

In the US it's so popular, it's on sale for just $11.82, and it's worth the wait.
Helen also uses L'Oreal's True Match Foundation. "They've got a big selection of colours and it's a fabulous foundation,” she told InStyle. "A lot of the makeup artists that I work with use it as well."
With 47 shades currently available, the inclusive formula is super hydrating with medium, buildable coverage and a natural finish - ideal for mature skin. The shade range is very limited on Amazon, but you can find most of them at LookFantastic for £11.99 or $9.97 at Amazon.
