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.

The Clinique Lash Power Tubing Mascara is easily one of the best mascaras I’ve used, especially if you struggle with smudging or flaking. It lengthens my lashes beautifully while keeping them looking natural and defined—no clumps at all. What really sets this mascara apart is how well it lasts. It stays put all day with zero smudging, even on long days, yet removes easily with warm water. No harsh rubbing or makeup remover needed, which is a huge plus for sensitive eyes. It’s lightweight, comfortable to wear, and perfect for everyday use. If you want long, clean lashes with a mascara that truly lives up to its smudge-proof promise, this one is absolutely worth it.

It actually IS good for my sensitive eyes! Generally I cannot wear mascara more than 1-2 days a week without my lids starting to swell and the lashes looking like a porcupine! But this one, I've been going 5 days - all work week and doing well! I use the brown color if that makes a difference? Lashes look great, no smudges or circles, comes off easily when I wash my face but not any other time. Whew!

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!

I have very thin, sparse eyelashes. I've tried LOTS of different brands and I think I've just landed on my new favorite. I haven't had issues with clumping or flaking, and as others have commented, it does take a little work to remove but I'm not mad about it. Will order again!

I returned this product. I've used Clinique for probably 25 years -- the exact same product, always black onyx.. They have reformulated this and it's not the same. It's very dry, as if it is 3 months old and used up, when you first open it! Did not apply easily and didn't look the same. No more Clinique for me! So disappointing! Luckily there are other tubing mascaras out there.....Try Tarte Tartelette. It's GREAT. And everything my old Clinique Lash Power mascara used to be.

First time user. Love this mascara. Long lasting. Does not smudge at all.

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.

Eine tolle Mascara die nicht verschmiert und keine Panda Augen macht. Sie hält den ganzen Tag.

The best mascara if you have hooded eyes at all. This doesn't leave marks on your upper eyelid at all. Highly recommended and it's the only mascara I would use now.

Je me maquille très rarement et j'ai beaucoup d'allergies aux yeux. Ce mascara est facile à mettre, ne fait pas gonfler mes yeux ni le contour. De plus, il ne coule pas et meme si je me gratte les yeux en fin de journée, il ne laisse pas de traces.
