Question
This mascara never fails to makes my eyes water. But it's Clinique, it's supposed to be gentle! What could I be doing wrong?
No other mascara, ever, has irritated my eyes, but without fail, every time I try this one, it gets to me almost immediately. What could it be? What's unique to this formula and wand? I desperately want to sport the dramatic high impact super-dark, glossy black, but the eyes won't have it. Why? Does anyone else struggle? Is this an example of irony?

Besides the Benefit They're Real mascara, this mascara is my favorite! I have super sensitive eyes, and it works fine for me...except for when it is getting older. With mascara, after about 2 weeks the formula starts to change and can actually develop some nasty bacteria, which is probably the cause of your itching. If not, everyone's sensitivity is different so i would try the Benefit They're Real...it's great!

That has happened to me with this mascara which i love so much for its thick glossy black lashes, which my thin eye-fringe desperatley needs! but I find if I apply it a little further from the lash base at first, it doesn't happen.

I've noticed that happens to me when I apply the mascara when I haven't widened my eyes enough so that either the brush or the mascara itself gets into my eyes. I would suggest maybe curling your lashes first and then using the mascara so that you are applying it further away from your eyes!

Don't think your doing anything wrong. It sounds like you have an allergy to something in the product-so don't use it.

I had this problem with the lengthening mascara by Clinique... as soon as I would put it on my eyes would water instantly and black mascara would be all over my face. The high-impact is fine though... sorry can't help you out! Maybe you are just sensitive to this line of mascara!

This is the only mascara that has ever made my eyes water.

I wish I knew what ingredient in it would make you allergic to it since it does the same thing to me. Throughout the day, it would irritate my eyes and my eyes would water. Then it would completely melt and get into my eye and burn...and in the process of trying to rush to the restroom to remove it, I'd rub it all over and now have black eyes! Lol.
