The wand is rather handy with short bristles on one side and longer, more comb like ones on the other. This makes me suspect that this isn’t really being marketed for eyelashes at all though it says on the packaging for brows or lashes. Answer me this people, have you ever used clear mascara as actual mascara? What is the point? Maybe I’m missing something here... Anyway it is perfectly designed for combing through my unruly brows.
The gel itself is none sticky leaving a really subtle finish. It doesn’t look like there is anything on there is just keeps the hairs in place. I like it! It’s subtle and easy enough to use every day. I’d say I use this 5-6 days a week and Browzings 1-2 days. Just don’t rub your eyebrows after application (no I don’t know why I felt the need to either). It will disintegrate into dandruff. This never happens unless for some reason you decide to fidget with them. I think I was trying to see if they ‘felt weird’ with the mascara on?
This lasts pretty much all day on me but if it’s particularly hot and muggy you might want to consider popping it in your bag for another quick swipe. There is only one problem with this. I am OCD. I like things to be a certain way. Clean for a start.... after a month of use this is not clean. I will spare you the photo but trust me, this once clear mascara is slowly turning a murky beige. You can’t help but pick up a tiny bit of foundation when you apply it as my brows are the last thing I do in the morning. I doubt I’ll finish the tube before I have to throw it out but then again at that price can I really complain?
So there you go. 17 Clear Mascara – it ain’t groundbreaking but I don’t know what I’d do without it xxx

My boyfriend sometimes uses clear mascara on his lashes for a bit of definition without it looking like he’s wearing makeup.
ReplyDeleteI also use it sometimes just to make my lashes a bit fatter without a clumpy mess.
Not sure how I feel about the whole turning-brown thing. That’s a bit gross. I’ve generally used the Body Shop one and that’s never happened to me before.
Good to know! I've tried wearing it as mascara myself and it just looked like I wasn't wearing mascara lol. I reckon the whole turning murky thing is because the brush is quite large so it's easy to accidentally touch your foundation with it when squinting in the mirror at 6am. Either that or I'm just especially clumsy! x
ReplyDeletei used clear mascara when I was 12 too young for mascara my mum thought. and it did make a difference but i have thick black lashes so theyre ok :) x
