What is the point of clear mascara?

I know it is supposed to just emphasise your eyes, but it never seems to work for me. Should I just put a lot more on? I tend to use brown if I want a more natural look, so I don't see the point of clear.

    To make your eyelashes look longer without having to add color to them. I used to wear it because my eyelashes are already long and black and by using clear I didn't have to worry about clumping or mid day smudging. Only draw back for me was that it doesn't thicken your eye lashes.

    Mostly though, clear mascara is a product that you can add to a morning routine where you don't wear any noticeable makeup so your look is natural.

    Clear mascara's good for people who have quite dark or thick lashes and find that black mascara makes their eyelashes look too much.

    It can also be used to subtly improve your eyelashes, without adding too much and being too obvious. this is good for people who work, or go to school in a place with a dress code that doesn't allow make-up.

    I too find brown mascara a nicer way to achieve a natural look, brown mascara can lengthen and thicken lashes like black can. clear mascara doesn't generally do this.

    some people mix eyeshadow or pigments with clear mascara to achieve colored eyelashes, but i find mixing medium works better for this.

    Clear mascara is a primer, like a base-coat.

    Kind of like when you are doing your nails..

    you shouldn't put a lot on, because it can cause your

    colored mascara to get clumpy.

    just learn how to apply it correctly..

    try different methods of how you put it on..

    i always use a magnified mirror and hold it by my chin

    showing my eye lashes from a bottom level and brush it on

    I use to think it was just for little kiddies starting out with mascara so when they rub their eyes or something huge smudges of black don't go everywhere.

    Just making ur eye-lashes look longer but not unnatural. It's the opposite nowadays.
