What the gurus are saying

Curl hold and dramatic lash definition are what this mascara really nails, with reviewers raving about its waterproof formula and how beautifully it keeps lashes lifted and defined through the whole day. The main caveat: removal is genuinely difficult and requires makeup remover or oil to cleanse properly. Those new to heavy mascaras may want to start with a light application and see how it performs.

"The Cleo mascara really good. Really difficult to remove. But it is really good."

"I use the Clio mascara, and when I asked my makeup artist friends they said it's all about preference between this and Etude. It's very affordable and holds a curl, since Asian lashes are so straight, once you curl your lashes this keeps the curl fixed instead of falling flat like a panda's. The brush is skinny so you can get clean, lifted lashes. Compared to western mascaras it doesn't clump like a spider, but it gives you more volume, and if you have mono lids and want a more dramatic look, get it, you won't regret it."

"I'm going with Clio Mascara. Has Clio ever done us wrong? No, this mascara absolutely not, it's super waterproof, long, curling, so good it holds the curl, it defines your lashes. This is always [...] my base mascara, always. So waterproof, [...] I'm going in like quite a bit, I'm not dipping it back into the tube though. [...] That's typically what I like to do, a waterproof light coat and then build up definition with a thickening mascara."
