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

After trying countless mascaras, I finally found one that works perfectly for my thin, straight Asian lashes! The Clio mascara holds my curl all day without weighing my lashes down. It adds great length and definition without clumping, smudging, or flaking.The formula keeps my lashes lifted from morning to night, even in humid weather, and it doesn’t give me raccoon eyes. It removes easily with a good eye makeup remover without excessive rubbing.If you have stubborn, straight lashes that never seem to hold a curl, I highly recommend giving this mascara a try. It’s definitely become my holy grail!

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.

Bought this after seeing Korean beauty raves about it. I've been wearing it daily for three weeks now, and it's been through everything - hot yoga, beach days, and my sister's outdoor wedding last weekend (85°F heat + happy tears). My lashes still looked perfect at 2am.This stuff genuinely doesn't move. I ugly-cried during the vows, danced for 4 hours straight, went swimming with it on by accident - zero smudging, zero flakes. My friend actually asked if I was wearing falsies. For $14, this performs better than my $35 Lancome and $28 Too Faced mascaras.The brush is super skinny which seemed weird at first, but it grabs every single lash including those annoying baby ones in the inner corners. Gives you that separated, fluttery look like you got a lash lift. One coat looks natural, two coats gets you noticed, three coats and it's still not clumpy. The black is TRUE black, not some wimpy gray-black.Yes, removal requires oil cleanser - but honestly, that's WHY it stays perfect all day. I learned this the hard way with micellar water (didn't work). Now I use Banila Clean It Zero, let it sit for 30 seconds, slides right off. Small price to pay for bombproof lashes.The formula is a bit wet at first - just wait about a minute before blinking hard. No weird chemical smell. I curl my lashes first because this holds curl amazingly. The silver text on the tube rubs off but who cares when the product inside is this good?This isn't dramatic volume mascara - it's better. It's "your lashes but impossibly perfect" mascara. When I want more drama, I just add another coat or layer with primer. But honestly, most days I don't even bother because this looks so good on its own.Perfect if you have oily eyelids (everything smudges on me by noon usually), wear contacts, live somewhere humid, or just want to apply your mascara once and forget about it. At $14, it's basically stealing. Already bought two backups because I'm never going back to mascaras that melt off by lunch.Will update in a couple months about formula longevity, but honestly at this price I don't even care if it dries out faster.

Curl stays all day which is what I was looking for! I tested it out on a hot humid day and it didn’t budge. It does take some time to completely remove it as it is super waterproof. I have Asian lashes btw.

This is one of the very best mascaras I have ever tried, and as a 67 year old with a lifetime addiction to trying new makeup, I've tried hundreds of mascaras over the years. I prefer waterproof mascara, but I've tried my share of both waterproof and regular mascaras, tubing ones, too. The Clio Kill Lash formula stays in place, doesnt smudge. Keeps my lashes curled all day. Gives me great length and the brush seems to find even the tiny lashes. The brush is also easy to control, and works great on lower lashes as well as upper lashes -and it's reasonably priced,too. I had no problem at all removing this mascara, either. It comes off easily with a cotton pad and micellar water that is made for waterproof makeup. Just shake the bottle well before saturating a cotton round with the right kind of micellar water, then hold the saturated pad on your lashes for about 15 seconds, then gently wipe away the mascara. This mascara is so good, it will replace my $34 waterproof premium brand mascara that's been my favorite for a couple years. Clio, please don't ever stop making it!
