Clinique High Impact Waterproof Mascara delivers volumizing and lengthening effects with a twisted wire brush that combs and defines each lash. The waterproof formula promises 12-hour wear with smudge-proof performance that stands up to heat and humidity.
Formulated by Clinique's dermatological science, it's ophthalmologist-tested, fragrance-free, and safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. The easily layerable formula allows you to build from natural to dramatic lash looks. Best for those prioritizing long-wearing wear and eye sensitivity over maximum volume, and willing to pay prestige price for dermatological assurance.
