I have tried many new mascaras over the years, because I'm a believer in trying new "technology and ingredients" when it comes to eye makeup. But I always come back to the mascara that has worked the best: Clinique's Naturally Glossy mascara in jet black. It doesn't clump. It's also much easier to take off, particularly with Clinique eye makeup remover. Clinique was one of the first brands to distinguish itself by offering makeup that's enhances skin without adding fragrance to ensure no eye irritation. It's still among the best.
This has been my favorite mascara for a number of years for a very natural look. It separates and defines your lashes beautifully without clumping or tubes or spidery extensions. Not your choice for a very glam look. Nonetheless, if you layer it carefully it still builds and thickens your lashes with excellent definition. My only complaint is that it does smudge with moisture, but most waterproof mascara causes my lashes to break. I sometimes follow with a light Clinique’s Lash Power long wearing mascara for hold.
