  Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara, $38

 

Now there really is makeup for every part of your face. Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara has been designed specifically for those tiny, tiny lashes that rim the bottom of your eyes.

Designed to last up up to 24 hours, the Bottom Lash Mascara comes in Black or Black/Brown.

It also has a “thermal active formula” to help resist flaking, smudging and smearing; an “acrylates copolymer” that dried immediately on application to protect the mascara; bentonite which is a “stretchable-clay like ingredient” to smoothly coat your lashes; and jojoba oil to condition them. Although this is a long-last product, it’s easily removable with warm water.

Like all Clinique products, the Bottom Lash Mascara is allergy tested, 100 per cent fragrance free and, because it’s a mascara, is tested by ophthalmologists and safe for sensitive eyes or people who wear contact lenses.

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m an absolute mascara professional. I have very light lashes and without any mascara they look invisible.

Like many people, however, I’ve generally resisted using mascara on my lower lashes as the brushes are generally too large and you end up with smudges that look like raccoon eyes.

So, Clinique’s new Bottom Lash Mascara was a gift from the makeup gods. It is tiny; the tube as well as the brush. And yes, it really does manage to reach every single tiny lash.

While it does dry relatively quickly, it’s not immediately as such; and if your hand is a bit shaky you can still end up with little smudges under you eyes.

But these are easily cleaned up, and the more often you use it, the easier it becomes to create smudge-free defined lower lashes.

Interestingly, adding colour to your bottom lashes really does open up your eyes just a little bit more, however the first time I used it, I had this weird sensation of “something” sitting just under my eyes.

Still, once you get over that, you have wider-looking eyes and no smudges; yay!
