Waterproof Mascara

I second the ones who say Almay One Coat, except to say that I've never tried the waterproof - unless you swim a lot and don't want to stop to take it off, you don't need really waterproof just because it's summer. I do a lot of outdoor activities, travel etc. in hot summer, and the (non-waterproof) Almay never comes off until I want it to. I don't even use soap - just hot water, out of the tap, will take it off. (Obviously not hot enough to hurt yourself, and you don't put it on your eyes, just the lashes. I follow up with non-alcohol toner on my entire face with special attention to the eyes.) Both easily obtainable drugstore products!

It's a bit spendy, but I swear by Lancome's Defincils Waterproof mascara. It's taken me through my wedding day, my best friends wedding day, and several other very "cryable" events without a drip!

Can get it at Sephora for about $23. Or at a Lancome Counter when they are having a free gift and reap the bonus.

Hey A.,

I have had great success with Loreal Voluminous mascara. Though, I have never tried the waterproof, I would imagine it would give you the same results as the regular. You can get it on sale for like $4/$5 but even if it isn't on sale I believe it is no more than $7. Ulta has a sale right now when you buy Loreal mascara($6.89) you get a free Loreal liquid eye liner. Hope this helps...good luck!!

Almay is great. It's hypo allergetic, goes on smooth & you can buy it anywhere.

Dior "Diorshow" waterproof mascara is incredible or Chanel Inimitable is great too. These are the only two mascara's I swear by. They make your eyes look fabulous!

I swear by L'Oreal Voluminous. Just watch out when buying - there are both a straight and a curved brush. I don't care for the curved one. I use both the waterproof and the regular depending upon what I need it for. It really lengthens, doesn't clump and is pretty easy to remove.

I've heard great things about Smashbox, they just launched Bionic Mascara which can be purchased at department stores like Nordstrom's.

I love great lash and basically anything by maybelline for mascara. I find the rounded brush works better to extend the length of my lashes.

So She Cosmetics has a great line of cosmetics, they have two kinds of mascara that I love. I carry the line at my boutique. You call me or stop by.

I use Trish McEvoy that you can buy at most department stores. I get mine at Nordstroms. The mascara is wonderful. It is not for swimming though as it will come off, but it will never run or smear ever. It is a different formula that comes off with water in seconds that comes off in tubes. It's weird to explain, but I love it. Look up Trish McEvoy online.

I really like the Almay One Coat. It goes on smooth - doesn't clump and is good if you wear contacts. The non waterproof comes off with soap and water and the waterproof stays on through swimming, sweating etc.

Great Lash mascara by Maybelline has waterproof versions. They don't bother my contacts and you can purchase it for a couple of dollars at drugstores like Walgreens or CVS.
