We’re coming into the dog days of summer, and it is hot. And if our makeup isn’t melty enough, there’s nothing worse than looking in the mirror halfway through your day and seeing raccoon eyes. To keep your look fresh in the heat of summer or on a wet rainy day, it is mandatory to use mascara that stays on your lashes and will not transfer elsewhere. The solution? A great waterproof mascara! Keep scrolling to shop the best waterproof mascaras to keep your lashes looking great (and your makeup in its place).
The Best Waterproof Mascaras To Test-Drive This Summer
Rejoice—MAC’s In Extreme Dimension mascara is also available in a waterproof version! It enhances volume and extends length, creating a curl and helping it stay put. These lashes are clump-resistant and non-smudging and can now withstand moisture.
Lancome’s Hypnose Waterproof Mascara increases lash volume up to 6 times. Its waterproof formula lasts up to 16 hours. The brush intensifies lashes from root to tip with custom volume that you can control. The formula has vitamin B5, which wraps and seals lashes into one luxurious layer at a time without any smearing, smudging, or clumping.
Lancome Monsieur Big Waterproof Mascara is also a great contender. It features a large brush and a sweat-proof, smudge-proof formula that makes your lashes feel like silk and delivers extreme volume for up to 24 hours of wear. No touch-ups are needed, and this mascara doesn’t flake.
Clinique High Impact Waterproof Mascara continually appears on the “best” mascara lists. It provides instant volume and length and stops clumping and smudging. Clinique’s High Impact Waterproof Mascara can also withstand heat, humidity, and anything else involved in an active day.
Diorshow Waterproof Mascara uses an XXL brush and an incredibly buildable cream formula for a flawless, spectacular volume.
Is waterproof mascara bad for your lashes?
You may have heard that waterproof mascara is bad for your lashes, but that’s not necessarily true. The only way waterproof mascara can harm your lashes is through improper removal. Use a waterproof remover that can nourish your lashes and safely remove your mascara, like Glossier Milky Oil and Lancome Bi-facil Double Action Eye Makeup Remover.
