Clinique says its High Impact Mascara is the top mascara from a dermatologist brand in the US, designed to increase volume and length without clumping.

According to Clinique, the mascara’s soft fiber brush helps separate and define each lash and provides buildable volume for a variety of looks, from subdued enhancement to drama.
