Mascara

If you are looking for a ‘false lash’ effect, our volumising mascara formulas are designed to coat every lash from root to tip, adding instant density. For the best mascara for length and volume combined, look for a dual-action brush that separates lashes while depositing a rich, pigment-heavy formula. Many of our mascaras, like Wonder Perfect Mascara 4D (Waterproof), are specifically engineered to provide length, volume, curl, and high-definition all in one.

Because waterproof mascara is designed to be smudge-proof and long-wearing, it requires a specialised cleanser to break down the formula. We recommend using a specific eye makeup remover. Shake the bottle to mix the oil and water phases, soak a cotton pad, and hold it against your closed eyes for a few seconds to dissolve the mascara before gently wiping away – no rubbing required.

While a lengthening mascara provides an immediate visual extension using fibers and film-forming polymers, Clarins takes it a step further. Our mascaras are often enriched with a Lash Boosting Complex, which contains plant extracts to stimulate lash health. With regular use, these ingredients help to nourish, strengthen, and visibly thicken your natural lashes over time.

Smudging is often caused by natural oils from the skin or heavy eye creams. To prevent this, ensure your eye area is well-prepped with a lightweight eye cream and a dusting of setting powder. To complete your look and lock everything in place, define your eyes first with a smudge-proof eye liner.

For a cohesive look, match the intensity of your mascara to your eye shadow. A soft brown mascara pairs beautifully with neutral, earthy shadow tones for a daytime look, while an intense black volumising mascara is the perfect partner for a dramatic smoky eye. Don't forget to define your eye brows to balance the look; well-groomed brows draw attention to the eyes and enhance the lifting effect of your mascara.
