CLINIQUE HIGH IMPACT MASCARA
TWMichello (160 reviews)

This is my go to everyday mascara. The thing I love most about it is that is the first mascara that does not irritate my sensitive eyes! It gives nice volume to my lashes which is what I look for most in a mascara since my lashes are somewhat long and have a natural curl. I also love that a tube lasts longer than average before drying out so I can definitely justify paying a little more than the typical drugstore mascara which dries out a couple weeks after opening. I have repurchased at least five times and will continue to do so. I've used this mascara for years, starting out with the samples my mum would get from the gift with purchase and as I got older eventually breaking down and buying the full size. I absolutely love this mascara, but I recently decided to branch out and see if I could find one that I love equally for a lower price. I have light brown/blond lashes and the mascara really makes them defined, longer, and you can build it up to make it clumpy if you like. The formula isn't watery, and lasts me a long time. Overall a great mascara! If I don't find a lower priced mascara I like, I'm definitely going back to Clinique. This is one of the best mascaras i have ever used. It definitly gives me nice length but not too much. It's perfect for an everyday look for school because it helps your lashes stand out a bit but not too much over the top. It also doesn't flake at all and RARELY clumps up. Best mascara I have ever used. I have had countless affairs with other mascaras be it high end or drug store brands and I always end up re kindling my romance with high impact. Long, strong, voluminous sexy lashes and absolutely no eye irritation! I love Clinique for its non irritating eye products, I mean who doesn't have a somewhat sensitive eye area? This is my HG mascara for sure. — 1 month, 1 week ago

My favorite mascara
LipglossandSpandex (487 reviews)

It lengthens, it volumizes, it doesn't smudge, it doesn't flake...what more could a gal ask for? (Well, actually, I wish it didn't cost $18!!) Worth the money? Until I find a cheaper mascara that rocks as much as Clinique High Impact, I'll keep coming back to it. — 2 years, 6 months ago

OK
powerwoman033 (509 reviews)

I had high hopes for the Clinique High Impact Mascara but I was let down. This clumped, flaked, and gave me raccoon eyes. It did lift and seperate my lashes but I still prefer Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara. — 2 months, 1 week ago

this is a keeper
taryn.romero (43 reviews)

I love this mascara. With my old mascara I would have smudges beneath my eyes by the end of the day but this really stays put. It also adds more volume and length to my eyelashes (they almost look fake if I add lash primer before hand) and I don't have to add layer after layer. It does seem a little on the expensive side but I think it's worth it. — 9 months, 2 weeks ago

I Get So Many Compliments on My Eyelashes
CliniqueLover (265 reviews)

This is a great mascara. Since I've started using it my lashes look fuller and thicker. I don'y know if it's the ingredients of this mascara but my lashes have also grown longer after using this for 5 months. It's also great because I can do one or two coats and wear it to school then at night I can do three coats and head out on the town. — 8 months, 1 week ago

waste of money
MakeupGuru (424 reviews)

Don't even consider buying this one. You can get a drugstore brand that does the same job. It just gives you a clean, natural look with separated lashes, without clumps. It maybe OK for blond lashed gals to just darken their lashes, but for most people who want thick, voluminous lashes, this won't do anything. — 4 years ago

Wow. High Impact is a great description.
italiaca (222 reviews)

When my eyes really need to pop, I use a lash curler then a couple of coats of this mascara and the impact is truly WOW. Easy to separate lashes with this, very little clumping and I go back to this even when I have the Lancome Defincils in the drawer. Love this! I would give it a 10 but there is a tiny bit of clumping. — 3 years, 2 months ago

Good for everyday use.
luxylexi (234 reviews)

I received a sample of this and loved it. It's perfect for work because it makes my eyes pop without being over dramatic. Didn't clump at all. my small sample tube has lasted over a month so far, so i'd imagine the large tube is worth the price. on another note, i bought a tube after i used the sample and just didn't get the same effects. — 3 years, 7 months ago

Wide Awake!
Starluxe (298 reviews)

A couple swipes of this and I'm out the door. This is actually one of the mascaras that volumizes lashes but isn't so over dramatic that it delivers the faux extensions appeal some women aim for; this is more of the everyday mascara that brightens the whole look of the face by lifting lashes and elongating them vertically while adding a hint of volume to look more refreshed especially on days you loathe getting out of the sheets to start the day. — 4 years ago
