I received this 5ml sample of Clinique’s High Lengths Mascara and have never looked back. I’ve never really focused on purchasing mascara from Clinique as I assumed my other branded mascaras were doing a good job. This all changed when I used this mascara.

The tubes of the sample as well as the full-sized version are both white with mirrored silver writing and lid. It’s a very clean, industrial, modern and minimal look which I really really love and appreciate. It looks so clinical when being used as well as when taking the tube out of your bag. Once the cap is open, a very strange and long “contraption” stares at you. The stalk is black whilst the single rubbered comb-like applicator is lime green.

The “brush” of this mascara is very unique and strange; I will refer to it as an applicator as brush does not suffice. The applicator is thin and of a solid stalk with tiny bristle on one end. At first I was sceptical as how to use this applicator and found the application very tricky. Once I’d gotten used to the movements needed I was able to use the applicator like a pro; nonetheless, a mirror is still very much needed. The brush manages to stick to and separate every single lash to produce a wide fanned out lash look that is very natural and striking.

The formula is highly pigmented and so delivers a strong full amount of colour onto lashes. The formula also manages to stretch out limp and lifeless lashes to illegal lengths, this allows for eyes to look wider and fully energized. The fine tooth-combed applicator helps to grip each root and gets colour on even the thinnest of lashes. The formula is ophthalmologist tested ad suitable for sensitive eyes.

I absolutely adore this mascara and find it perfect for day use to achieve a youthful, natural and wide-awake look. The mascara doesn’t clump or flake off and has a very long lasting time. It looks professional and gives a clean, smart finish. Due to the applicator, it’s not to be applied when in a rush as it does become messy if you don’t have the time, patience or mirror to help aid you.
