The reason that keeps us, women, from crying is that we don’t want to waste a good mascara and ruin an alluring look. Speaking of beauty, one brand that we happen to think of is Clinique, a well-renowned brand when it comes to skincare and beauty. Earlier, the brand was in every tittle-tattle for its High Impact Mascara. Well, to be honest, we believe the fanfare it got was way too much than the product justified. Formed in 1968, Clinique is the oldest when it comes to beauty and skincare and today holds a prominent position in the market. Creating allergy-tested and fragrance-free products has been their selling point for ages. While some of its products are unbeatable and stick out a mile, its High Impact Mascara leaves us indecision.

The brand claims a lot about this product starting with, “creates lusher, plusher, bolder lashes, pure, deep color adds to the impact” to giving “lash definition draws attention to eyes.” While it does stand out for some, there are still some qualities it lacks that customers look for. One thing that can be appreciated is it doesn’t need a harsh wash and comes off easily without smudging. It has a deeply pigmented color and models your already black lashes even darker. But when it comes to curling or making your lashes look fuller, it won’t surprise you much.
