Read More Everyone’s favorite nostalgic lipstick shade now comes in a sensitive eye-friendly mascara that reviewers call “a very rare find.” Tessa Flores is a Staff Writer for HuffPost covering a number of shopping topics and lifestyle trends. In October of last year, makeup artists told HuffPost that strategically selecting a colored mascara can make eyes appear brighter, enhance their natural color and bring focus to the upper half of the face. A shade like Black Honey in particular, can be beautiful for green, hazel and blue eyes and doesn’t have to be scary. Instead, it can look surprisingly subtle, yet impactful, once applied. I myself even have a similar burgundy-toned mascara that I actually prefer to my traditional blackest-black shades. “First time buying mascara that was not pitch black and I was hesitant,” one Amazon customer writes. “It arrived and upon opening the bottle, it just looked brown. But OMG if you have green/hazel eyes.. this mascara color was made for you!” Another color skeptic reviewer from Amazon also said: “I have to admit that I am very impressed with this one and it looks amazing. I have green eyes and I love the way it looks with them.” “I was amazed at the difference. It made my eyelashes look full without clumping,” claimed one reviewer, though it should be noted that hundreds echoed similar sentiments. "After chemo, I lost many of my eyelashes. I have tried so many mascaras. Some clump, flake, or run. This mascara is the one for me. Goes on easily, does not flake, clump, and is easy to remove. The look is natural, not like I have fake lashes on. It is pricey, but so were the others I have tried. If not so expensive, it would be perfect!” —Stephania “Makes green eyes POP! Great color for green eyes. I ordered the Black honey. Love the way the mascara goes on, buildable, not clumping. Clinique is great for my sensitive eyes.” —Treasure “I have an issue with basically all mascaras burning my eyes after a few hours, as I have sensitive eyes and many allergies. I have tried too many mascaras to count, including more natural mascaras, and I’m still allergic! So I ALWAYS come back to this mascara by Clinique, which is the ONLY one that does not burn my eyes. I also like that it can be easily removed with only a washcloth and water, as I’m also allergic to all the eye makeup removers I’ve tried. Anyway, this mascara also gives my lashes the impact I want in just one coat, and is a high quality at a reasonable price! So glad I can wear this without an allergic reaction. It really is a rare find.” —BeautyProductAddict “Many mascaras have made the promise to lengthen, define, and add volume. This is the one mascara that I’ve found that has lived up to the hype. As an over 50 woman whose lashes are thinning, I was looking for something to bring back that fuller look. After receiving a trial sample of this mascara, I was hooked. I purchased the full size and have been thrilled with the results. I think you will be, too!” —CFinSEA
