What the gurus are saying

Curl hold and dramatic lash definition are what this mascara really nails, with reviewers raving about its waterproof formula and how beautifully it keeps lashes lifted and defined through the whole day. The main caveat: removal is genuinely difficult and requires makeup remover or oil to cleanse properly. Those new to heavy mascaras may want to start with a light application and see how it performs.

"The Cleo mascara really good. Really difficult to remove. But it is really good."

"Then I'm going with CLIO Mascara. Has CLIO ever done us wrong? No, this mascara absolutely not, it's a super proof long curling, so good. It holds the curl, it defines your lashes. This is always my base mascara, always. So waterproof. I am going in with quite a bit, not dipping it back into the tube though. This is typically what I like to do, a waterproof light coat and then build up that definition with a thickening mascara."
