The 8 Best Waterproof Mascaras That Will Never Run or Smudge

While the bottom halves of our faces are still out of commission for the foreseeable future thanks to masks (a decent trade-off for public safety), our eyes are now getting more attention than ever before. We can’t be the only ones who miss playing with the contents of our makeup drawers, right? Of course, it’s still peak summertime, and our beauty regimens are pared down to the essentials most days: clean skin, loads of SPF, a dash of brow gel, and, of course, a coat or two of mascara. And if you’re in the vast majority of people who can hardly walk down the street in 85-degree heat without sweating, much less last an entire day, then a waterproof formula is a must.

Don’t be afraid of the removal process either—a cotton round soaked in micellar water will take off even the most stubborn mascaras. Just leave it on for ten seconds per eye, and you’ll be back to your natural lashes. Otherwise, heat and humidity have met their match when it comes to our eight favorites. Check out the best smudge-proof, run-proof, and waterproof formulas below.
