Sultry summer weather spent beach or poolside isn’t the only time you’ll find us reaching for the best waterproof mascaras we can find. Whether you’re worried about getting caught in unexpected winter downpour or you like a coat or two of mascara on your lashes when you’re headed for a workout, sometimes you just want a budge-proof mascara that will stay put no matter what the situation.
There’s not much worse than going for a swim then finding out hours later you have black streaks on your face. Thankfully, there are a number of excellent waterproof mascaras that will ensure your lashes stay luscious without any danger of streaks.
Becasue waterproof formulas tend to be thicker, apply mascara in thin, even coats, building it up as needed. Start from the roots of your lashes and wiggle the wand upward to coat every lash. Multiple light layers create more volume than a single heavy coat.
Waterproof mascara is more resistant to makeup removers, so at the end of the night, use a dual-phase or oil-based remover specifically designed for waterproof formulas. Soak a cotton pad in remover and gently press it against your lashes for a few seconds before wiping away the pigment.
