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

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.

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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! 💖

The best tubing mascara I have found so far. Stays on and does not smudge or crumble away. It can clump eyelashes at times but I just separate them with a clean brush.

Goes on without clumping. Does not smudge throughout the day and looks great. Slightly difficult to get off if you use a makeup remover only. Soap and water is ideal. Also, one of the few mascaras that does not smell bad, it really has no odor. I have very sensitive eyes, contact lenses and finally I have found a product that does not irritate my eyes.

Finally found this in brown. This is the best tubing mascara. No clumping, great curl and lengthening. No raccoon eyes ever. Smudge proof. Easy removal with warm water.

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.

Last all day!

Tiene una escobilla muy finita que permite alargar sin apelmazar ni dejar “pegotes”. Sin fragancias que puedan crear irritación o alergia

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

Il mio mascara preferito per le ciglia inferiori!

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.
