Clinique High Impact Mascara Waterproof

Waterproof formulas can sometimes make my lashes feel stiff, but this one is more comfortable than I expected. I still get plenty of definition without that crunchy feeling.

I wore this to an outdoor wedding in July, and it stayed put through the heat and a few happy tears. No black streaks under my eyes afterward.

My eyes water whenever it's windy, so regular mascara usually ends up smudged by noon. This one actually stays where I put it.

I bought this specifically for pool days and have been really impressed. My lashes still look defined after getting splashed.

I cried through an entire movie wearing this and walked out without raccoon eyes. That's probably the best test I could give a waterproof mascara.

My lashes are naturally straight, and I find that this holds the look of my curl better than the regular mascaras I've used.

Humidity usually destroys my eye makeup within a few hours. I wore this on a really muggy day, and there was barely any transfer around my eyes.

I use one coat for work, and it gives me enough color and definition without looking too dramatic. The fact that it lasts all day is a bonus.

Removing waterproof mascara is usually my least favorite part, so I use a good eye makeup remover with this. It comes off much easier when I let the remover sit for a few seconds first.

I wore this on vacation when I knew I'd be around water most of the day. It held up much better than I expected and didn't flake everywhere.

Most mascaras leave little marks on my upper lids because of my eye shape. I've noticed far less transferring when I wear this formula.

Two coats gives my lashes a nice fuller look without making them stick together. I just let the first layer set for a moment before adding more.

The brush gives me good control at the roots, so I can add definition without accidentally loading too much product onto the ends.

I work long shifts and don't want to think about touching up mascara. This looks nearly the same when I get home as it did when I applied it in the morning.

My lower lashes are usually where waterproof mascara gets tricky, but a light coat of this stays surprisingly neat throughout the day.

I originally bought this for a beach trip and ended up continuing to use it afterward. It's especially useful on hot days when I know I'll be sweating.

I don't need huge dramatic lashes every day. What I wanted was a mascara that makes them darker, fuller, and more noticeable without ending up underneath my eyes, and this does the job.

Between workouts, humid weather, and watery eyes, I've put this through quite a bit. It has become the mascara I reach for whenever I know I need my eye makeup to stay in place.
