After researching, Clinique (and parent company, Estee Lauder) are NOT considered cruelty-free due to selling products in China where animal testing is required. Does Clinique still sell products in China where animal testing is required?

Best mascara ever!
I use this mascara with Clinique's lash doubling mascara and it is AMAZING. It makes my lashes extraordinarily long and they never look clumpy. I receive compliments all the time about what long beautiful eyelashes I have and I owe it all to this mascara. I use it every day and my mascara looks the ...

OK product, not a must have

I first started using this primer well over 25 years ago, and I keep coming back for more. It goes on easily, dries quickly, and makes my lashes look longer and thicker. Plus, I only have to use a couple of coats of mascara, AND it helps keep my mascara from "melting" onto my undereye area, which is a huge problem for me when I don't use primer. Highly recommend!
Prime first!

AMAZING really kicks mascara up a notch!
I will buy this product again.
This was to replace an existing product.
Good product from Clinique.
It helps lengthen lashes and keeps the mascara from clumping
I absolutely love this lash primer!
I was introduced to this product over 20 years ago and when I use it, which is any day I use mascara it makes my eyelashes really pop! Who needs false eyelashes if you have the Clinique brand lash primer.
