What the gurus are saying

This mascara earns praise for being gentle enough for sensitive eyes while still delivering solid definition. The gurus who tested it found the formula reliable and well-tolerated, though it leans toward definition rather than dramatic volume. A dependable choice if you're looking for a mascara that won't irritate.

"We have five mascaras from Clinique. [...] I did an all Clinique mascara order and [...] I liked them, they were solid mascaras. I don't have any real complaints, they weren't maybe the most volumizing, but they were good mascaras."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
