Clear mascara is extremely underrated and here’s why

Clear mascara. Some might say (OK, I might say) that it’s the white jellybean of the mascara world. Nobody holds a particular disdain for it.  But you’d never actually choose it.

However, we are hereby issuing an official apology to clear mascara aka the humble, unassuming, multipurpose underdog of eye makeup.  It is actually one of the most versatile products in our makeup bag.

Here’s one we love: DB Cosmetics Clear Mascara.

Here’s all the ways we’ve been using it.

Eyebrow gel 

For those with fuller, darker brows that don’t need the colour from a tinted gel,a coat of clear mascara provides a brushed-up, fluffy and structured brow.

If your brow hairs are far and few between, swipe on some clear mascara after filling in any gaps with an eyebrow pencil.

Lash enhancer 

Create the length and definition you’d get from your regular mascara, but without the colour. 

It was after using her clear mascara that Beyoncé wrote her infamous line “I woke up like this”*.

Control flyaways

It can also keep any rogue hairs from ruining your sleek ‘do.

Your clear mascara spoolie is the perfect tool to control smaller areas without ruining your hairstyle or having to use too much product in areas it’s not needed.

Lash primer

Waterproof mascara removal can often result in a few eyelash casualties.

A coat of clear mascara before applying your waterproof mascara can act as a primer. Leaving you with a smudge-free result that comes off as easily as it went on.
