Volumizing vs Waterproof

We've always thought of volumizing mascaras as bold, intense, and possibly risky for sensitive eyes-but Clinique's High Impact Mascara surprised us. Its formula delivers a dramatic lift and lengthening effect, thanks to a sturdy, angled brush that coats lashes without clumping. We noticed a noticeable volume boost, with each stroke adding depth and separation. Yet, the standout feature? Its gentle, tear-free claim holds true. Despite the bold results, we found it surprisingly comfortable, even for our most sensitive eye rims. The waterproof resistance is decent, though we'd say it's more of a "water-resistant" than fully waterproof, which might be a caveat for those needing 24/7 hold. Still, the balance between power and nurturing made it a refreshing choice. We'd recommend it to anyone craving bold lashes without compromising on eye safety.
