Clinique High Impact Waterproof Mascara — Black 0.28 fl oz, Buildable Volume & Smudge‑Proof Wear for Sensitive Eyes

Clinique High Impact Waterproof Mascara is a buildable, water-resistant mascara that adds noticeable volume and length while staying smudge- and clump-resistant through an active day.

This waterproof version of Clinique’s bestselling High Impact formula is designed to give lashes a fuller, longer look without flaking or running. The smooth, layerable formula works from a natural enhancement to dramatic volume, and the specially designed twisted-brush helps separate and coat each lash. It’s formulated and tested to be gentle around the eyes and compatible with contact lenses and sensitive skin.

How long will the wear last and how does it hold up to humidity?

The waterproof formula resists smudging and transfer, staying put through heat, humidity, and typical daily activity. While individual wear time varies, many users find it holds through long days without midday smudging or visible flaking.

• Water-resistant formula designed to minimize running and smearing.
• Engineered to withstand sweat, humidity, and minor moisture exposure.
• Smudge- and flake-resistant finish for extended wear.

What kind of finish and lash effect can I expect?

The mascara layers evenly, so you can achieve a subtle, everyday enhancement or build to a bold, voluminous lash line. The twisted-wire brush separates lashes while depositing product for both length and lift, avoiding clumps or sticky buildup.

• Buildable coverage from natural to dramatic volume.
• Separating brush design to define individual lashes.
• Smooth, glossy black finish for added depth and definition.

Is this safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers?

Clinique formulates High Impact Waterproof with sensitivity in mind and performs ophthalmologist and allergy testing. The product is fragrance-free and designed to be suitable for many people with delicate eyes or contacts, but patch testing is recommended if you have a history of reactions.

• Ophthalmologist-tested and allergy-tested formulation.
• Fragrance-free to reduce potential irritation.
• Suitable for contact lens wearers when used as directed.

How do I remove waterproof mascara without rubbing or residue?

Gentle, oil-based or clinical-grade makeup removers dissolve waterproof formulas more effectively than water alone. Apply remover to a cotton pad, hold against closed lashes briefly, then sweep downward to lift product away without excessive tugging.

• Use a targeted waterproof or oil-based remover for efficient removal.
• Soak the pad on closed lids for a few seconds before wiping.
• Avoid harsh rubbing to protect lashes and the delicate eye area.

Who this is for: Clinique High Impact Waterproof Mascara is intended for anyone seeking a long-wearing, buildable mascara that resists smudging and stands up to active, humid conditions. It’s a solid choice for contact lens wearers and people with sensitivity concerns who want flexible coverage—from understated lengthening to bold, voluminous lashes—without flaking or heavy clumping.
