Explore our frequently asked questions to discover professional application tips and find the perfect mascara to keep your lashes looking healthy, lifted, and beautifully defined.

What is the best mascara for length and volume?

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.

How do I remove waterproof mascara without damaging my lashes?

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.

Can a lengthening mascara actually help my lashes grow?

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.

How can I prevent my mascara from smudging or flaking?

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 spray. To complete your look and lock everything in place, define your eyes first with a smudge-proof eye liner.
