Clinique Lash Power Tubing Mascara Long-Wearing Formula | Lengthening, Smudge-Proof + Safe for Sensitive Eyes

I don’t often write reviews, but this mascara is so dang awesome that I had to come throw in my two cents’. TL;dr: Amazing daytime/natural mascara. Easy to apply. Set it and forget it. Sooo easy to remove – if you do it the right way (hint: warm water mini-soak, NOT makeup remover, pulling, or rubbing). Choose a different mascara for a heavy/evening look. 1) If you want a natural-looking mascara with light-medium weight, this is fantastic for that. Loved it the moment I tried it. I stopped wearing a lot of makeup in the last few years (especially foundation) and actually like my own face better now, what a concept. But I have the stupid situation of having very long, thick natural lashes (yay), except they’re so blonde/light that no one can see them (boo), which makes it like having no eyelashes at all, /laughcry. That’s where this comes in for me – and tbh what I’ve been looking for an effortless daily mascara for a while. I can put just a light coat on my eyelashes and they get to actually exist in all their glory. That said, if I wanted a medium-heavy/evening look or something infinitely buildable, sure, this probably isn’t the mascara for that and I would go with a different product. But for everyday/natural-looking mascara that doesn’t require a hazmat team to remove, I’m now looking forward to using this daily. It’s really pretty and my partner commented on how nice it looked. 2) READ THE INSTRUCTIONS Y’ALL. Sure, it’s in 6pt font on the box, but it does say to use warm water to remove. This is NOT normal mascara that sits like wet paint or hair product on top of your eyelashes, and then you rub it to death with soap/remover to take it off. This is tube mascara, which is like a little dry shell around each of your lashes. It’s more like nail polish or gum, lol, where you don’t just start pulling on it. That said, this is hands down the EASIEST and gentlest mascara I have ever removed. Zero raccoon eyes! While washing your face normally, simply cup your hand(s) and fill with (pleasantly, not overly) warm water, then hold up to your eyes/eyelashes and let them “soak” in the water for a few seconds; do this a couple times until you can’t see any more mascara. Splash water on your face to rinse; do NOT rub your eyes or try to pull it off the lashes. The idea is to get water into the dried-on tubes so they lose their grip and merely slide off your eyelashes. You’ll see little mascara crumbs that rinse right off. If you don’t want to wash your entire face, it takes a little bit longer – a cotton ball or washcloth corner soaked with warm water and held to your eyes 2-3 times will totally do the trick. Gennnntly dab away the mascara once it’s soaked. Don’t think I’ve spent more than 30-60 seconds with either method. So fast and easy. (Bonus: don’t have to buy expensive/oily remover and you can take it off just about anywhere!) 3) Dayum Gina, I do not miss the raccoon eyes! My last mascara would always get smudgy at the corners after a few hours because of my moisturizer or, you know, just existing too hard. Or would somehow cement itself under my eyes if I forgot to scrub at it in the shower. (Side note: My pry-it-from-my-cold-dead-hands moisturizer now is a pea-sized amount of Alaffia raw shea butter mixed into a smooth cream with a few drops of Trader Joe’s jojoba oil – my hormonal acne has never thanked me more, my skin has never looked better, it doesn’t cause breakouts or irritation, and I don’t have to spend $60/bottle for something that probably uses those ingredients anyway!) Anyway, because the mascara is completely dry/hardened and not at all oily, it can survive a variety of daily abuse, including seasonal allergies. (Just hope your tears aren’t too hot, or try to dunk your head in a hot tub, lol, since warm water is what removes it.) I’ve even done physical activity with nary a shadow in sight. Bravo, Clinique. So yeah, love this. Keeps my eyes happy and comfortable especially when wearing contacts. Just set your expectations accordingly.

I have been using this for years and love it so much. I've tried soooo any alternatives and they all ended up in the trash - I'm done now and sticking with this! It's tubing so it's dries very quickly and NO smudging, but still easy to remove with just warm water. Easy to apply, I just do one thin coat and it looks great. Love love love!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely the best mascara ever! Oh my gosh, I’ve been waiting so long to write this review. This is honestly the best mascara I’ve ever owned. I’m blown away! It removes so easily in little pieces — no soap, no micellar water needed. No black smudges under your eyes like those old-school mascaras from the 2000s. It layers beautifully, so you can create different looks: natural, like in my photo, or more dramatic and doll-like for dates and dinners. The formula is amazing, the brush is perfect, and it even smells so nice. The tube may be small, but it lasts forever — you can really use it again and again. This mascara is worth every penny. No cheap version ever separates and lengthens lashes like this Clinique one. It’s my absolute favorite, and I will buy it for life. If there were a subscription for it, I’d sign up in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend — thank you! 💖

A long-time favorite from Clinique! I chose this mascara specifically for the brush - it's thinner than most others I've tried which allows for more control on both top and bottom lashes without clumping or depositing too much/too little product. Great for anyone who doesn't want the "caterpillar" look. And, in this reviewer's experience, it didn't flake off. Would definitely recommend!

Wonderful! Easy to apply. No smudging. Long lashes after 2 coats. (20 sec between.)

I really dislike this mascara. I bought it because I have sensitive eyes, my eye doctor said I had issues with film on my eyes from make up and skin care. I wanted a mascara that was easy to remove. It makes my eyes itch and it's literally impossible to remove without a ton of effort, mind you I pulled out all stops from the arsenal of taking mascara off, still there, and then irritates my eyes further. When I think tubing mascara, I think easy to take off. It's honestly the most difficult to remove mascara I've ever had. It does look good. It does stay on. No raccoon eyes, but that's not why I bought. It just won't come off. I tried every trick in my arsenal to try to get it off and it just doesn't without irritating my eyes, and then adding bunch of stuff on my eye lids completely defeating the purpose. Blinc is o.k., That almost comes off too easy, I may try it again. I do really like the Caliray Come Hell or High Water 24-hour Volumizing & Lengthening Tubing Mascara. It does come off and it doesn't irritate my eyes. I put eye drops in sometimes and it totally irritates my eyes. It does look good, though. I mean, it does look great, but that's not why I bought it, so that's why I'm giving it one star.

Amazing!! I have been looking for a smudge free mascara for my lower lashes. I have tried EVERYTHING and spent so much money but this mascara survived today after running errands, a nap, and an intense glute workout with cardio after. When I was done with my day it still looked like when I first applied it this morning. I am in love!

This was my first purchase of tubing mascara. I wanted to try it because I had heard it was easy to remove. Well this was easy to remove from my eyelashes but not in a good way. I never got through a single day of wearing it without getting raccoon eyes and when I purposely tried to remove it, I had so many mascara flakes stuck to my face it took an effort to get it off my face. It also concerned me that the flakes would end up in my eyes. Just a mess. I don't know if all tubing mascara are like this but this one did not work for me.

Last all day!

Washes away with 38 degrees water. Stays well all the day. Natural look.

I love the brush. It’s narrow. Thin. No clumping. Very good mascara. My go to.

Die Mascara ist richtig gut, lässt sich präzise auftragen und verschmiert nicht, auch nicht nach ausdauerndem Tanzen und Schwitzen. Die Wimpern verkleben nicht und werden schön getrennt, was für mich perfekt ist, da ich falsche Wimpern Effekt nicht mag. Mit Make-up Entferner oder 2x gründlich mit Waschgel waschen geht sie auch gut wieder ab.

Love this mascara. Stays on easy to apply no flaking and a great price. Removal also easy. No irritation at all and lashes look so good.
