Life
If I could only use one beauty product for the rest of my life, mascara would be it. There's just something about the eye-opening effects of the stuff that I love. That said, flaky or smeary mascara is pretty obnoxious. So the best waterproof mascaras out there are really something, because they can take on rain, sweat, and tears while keeping your lashes fresh. A great waterproof mascara really is the ultimate desert island beauty product.
Drawing on info from beauty editors, YouTube gurus, and makeup reviews, these mascaras have stood up to testing in real life. As far as waterproof mascaras go, these are the top of the top. I mean, some of the gurus literally went swimming in these mascaras without the formulas budging. It's impressive.
Whether you like rocking lashes at the gym, pool, or anywhere else life takes you, these mascaras won't give out. And as someone who has unfortunately worked with less than great waterproof mascaras in the past, I can say that this is thrilling. Really, the worst waterproof mascaras run off your lashes and create seemingly permanent stains beneath your eyes that are impervious to soap, makeup remover, and tears. But these bad boys are ready to stay on your lashes no matter what the day throws at you.

Voluminous Volume Building Waterproof Mascara
This looks like a top choice for those who work in show business. "I really like the texture of the product and the way it moves across the lashes, separates them and coats them without making them clumpy," said Zoe Hay, the Makeup Department Head for This Is Us, in The Cut. "And it’s at an amazing price point — the most expensive product isn’t always the best." If it's affordable and able to weather the most tear-inducing show in recent years, then sign me up right now.
