12 Worst Mascaras
Editor's Rating & Review
Clinique Lash Power Mascara is amazing, but not just for the reasons Clinique is touting. Yes, the tubing formula lasts all day without smudging or flaking, and yes, it removes with only warm water (and the proper press-and-pull motion with your fingers). But the real reason to buy it is for the dramatic length. Apply it carefully (it can clump), and your lashes will triple in length. (I got three compliments in one day.) But be forewarned: Removal is messy. The mascara falls off in clumps all around eyes.

Better than others, but not the best either
The brush of this mascara is quite fine. I like the small size because it separates lashes very well, and I see no clumps. However, it does not lengthen as much as some of my other favorite mascaras. Also, if you want to curl your eyelashes, you will need a good eyelash curler. BTW, removing is no hassle for me. I use DHC Deep Cleansing Oil or Clinique Wash Away Gel Cleanser with warm water, and the mascara comes off easily.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Try Estee Lauder Zero-Smudge Doublewear instead
This is good smudgeproof waterproof mascara. It lasts all day through rain, tears, humidity, allergies, etc. without budging. It goes on easily and defines and lengthens lashes, but does not thicken them. You have to move the brush in a zigzag motion to thoroughly coat and separate them. It removes easily with very warm water, but is messy as it clumps off. This is gentle on your lashes if you...read more need to wear waterproof daily, like I do. If you already have long, thick lashes, go ahead and give this a try. Estee Lauder's Zero-Smudge Doublewear is much better--it also thickens lashers and comes off in neater, smaller flakes with warm water (more expensive, but worth it).This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

omg
you know, i wasnt liking the look this mascara gave me, kinda too idk, thin? and sparse, which is well, my lashes fault really. but it does make them look way dark. and it stayed exactly like i just put it on, all day, while using greasy eye balm, sweating, being in the sun, crying, and i even slept in it and woke up looking totally freshly applied. i have other tubing mascaras and they dont stay ...read moreas well, or as long. and the color is very dark. the brush gets all the lashes too, even tho i dont have much! so i guess, even if its not the most amazing look ive ever had, it doesnt budge at all. [no irritation, washes off with warm water!]This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful
