CLIO Kill Lash Superproof Mascara - Long & Curl up Waterproof Black Mascara, Volumizing & Lengthening, Long-wearing (#01)

I’ve been using the Kill Lash Superproof mascara from CLIO for a few months now, and it’s honestly the best mascara I’ve tried. For context, I have straight lashes and deep-set, hooded eyes, so most mascaras either won’t hold a curl or end up smudging under my eyes after a few hours. Even tubing mascaras, which I’ve had some success with, don’t really keep my lashes lifted and tend to come off too easily. This one is completely different. It actually holds the curl I put in at the start of the day and keeps it there. I’ve worn it for 12+ hours, and my lashes still looked lifted, which is something I’m just not used to. Normally my lashes drop within 30 minutes no matter what I do. It’s also truly waterproof. I didn’t have issues with smudging or transfer, even with long wear. At the same time, it’s not overly heavy or clumpy. The slim curved brush makes it easy to get good separation and reach smaller lashes without making a mess. Removal is better than I expected for something this long-wearing. I do need to use an oil cleanser and let it sit for a bit, but it breaks down without too much effort after that. I’m planning to try a dedicated mascara remover to make it even easier. I don’t wear makeup every day, but when I want my lashes to actually look long and lifted, this is the one I use. If you have straight lashes that refuse to hold a curl, this is absolutely worth trying.

This mascara is the absolute best. It literally lasts all day, and even pretty much all of it stays on through a nights sleep. It's almost still prefect when you wake up with it on, only a few spots to wipe off that it smudges from putting you face in the pillow. Besides that through is lasts the whole day. Not only that but it curls your lashes as well. It also is the perfect amount. The bond is just skinny enough to be able to get it on every lash well, and also the amount that comes out is not too goopy. You can keep adding layers and it still won't be too much. It's just the right amount. It's worth every penny.

This mascara looks really nice, gives a lot of length and a little bit of volume. But y'all, you better have an oil cleanser on hand or you will NOT be able to remove this mascara. Last night I had this on, I used Micellar water first, no dice, then I did my regular double cleanse, then I took a shower. IT WAS STILL ON AFTER MY SHOWER. It will literally take the grace of God to remove. Does it smudge, flake, or weigh my lashes down? Nope, none of that. But can I get it off once it’s on? Also nope. It’s a good mascara, but be prepared for a fight to the death to get it off of you at the end of the night. My eyes hurt I was rubbing them so much to get it off. Still ended up going to bed with it on.

I LOVE this product! Not only am I able to skip the lash curler now (which is great because I am afraid of cutting my lashes accidentally) it lasts all day! It lasts through swimming, hiking, sweating, everything. I use this daily and it has lasted me a long time. I can't wait to but another along with the remover. I was originally gifted this by my sister but I keep coming back because it is so good. Perfect for lifting my straight lashes!

I have sensitive eyes and this product is not irritating to me. It also seems to hold up well, even while swimming. I only wish the wand brush was a little bushier so I don’t have to make so many passes to coat my lashes. The lengthening effect is good.
