Clinique Lash Building Primer clear 0.16 oz — lightweight conditioning, safe for sensitive eyes

This clear, ophthalmologist-tested lash primer from Clinique is designed to be applied before mascara to create a conditioned base that helps mascara grip and separate each lash. The moisturizing formula supports smooth application of your chosen Clinique mascaras and rinses off easily with makeup remover. Formulated to be gentle—100% fragrance-free and allergy tested—it is suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

How does this primer improve mascara performance?

Applied as the first step in your eye makeup routine, the primer creates a light, conditioning layer that gives mascara something to cling to, improving coverage and reducing clumping. It helps define lashes so individual hairs are easier to coat, leading to a cleaner, more polished finish.

• Creates a gripping base so mascara coats lashes more evenly
• Helps reduce mascara flaking and uneven patches
• Separates lashes for clearer definition before mascara

Can I use this with any mascara and is it safe for sensitive eyes?

Clinique Lash Building Primer is formulated to be gentle and is ophthalmologist-tested and allergy-tested, making it suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. Avoid pairing it with tubing-style mascaras, as those formulas have different removal mechanics and may not work well together.

• Safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens users
• 100% fragrance-free to minimize irritation risk
• Not recommended with tubing mascaras like Lash Power

How do I apply and remove the primer for best results?

Apply one even coat of the clear primer to clean, dry lashes before your regular mascara. Let the primer set briefly—just a few seconds—then follow with your mascara as usual. Removal is simple with your standard Clinique makeup remover or any gentle eye makeup remover.

• Brush on a single, even coat from root to tip
• Allow a short setting time before mascara application
• Removes easily with regular makeup remover—no scrubbing required

What texture and finish should I expect from the formula?

The primer goes on clear with a lightweight, slightly moisturizing texture that won’t weigh lashes down. It creates a smooth foundation that enhances mascara adherence while keeping lashes flexible, not stiff.

• Clear finish that preserves natural lash color and shape
• Moisturizing without heaviness or stickiness
• Designed to keep lashes feeling natural and comfortable

Who is this for: Clinique Lash Building Primer is intended for anyone who wants a smoother, more controllable mascara application—especially people with sensitive eyes, those who wear contact lenses, or anyone seeking a conditioned base for mascara. It’s ideal if you want cleaner separation, improved mascara hold, and easy removal without introducing fragrance or unnecessary irritation.
