I tried this as an alternative to my usual high impact mascara, and this is awful. It's like coating my lashes with plastic. It doesn't smudge, but it flakes off in little square pieces that cover my under eyes and cheeks. Yet getting it off is almost impossible. I've tried several makeup removers, and I end up peeling it off my lashes anyway. I have also lost several eyelashes each time I've used this. I gave it a week. That was 6 days too many.
I love this lash power mascara. I have worn it for years. If applied correctly, it is almost like an eye liner. For a great "day"look, it can be applied once. For a deeper evening look , apply again. It really defines your lashes. I am a blond, so I love the dark chocolate brown. It is nice to have so many choices. It is easy to remove, with Clinique eye makeup remover or simply warm water. I have used Clinique products for many years, and will continue to do so. thank you Clinique !
