20 Best Waterproof Mascara For Length (2023 Updated)

I have asian lashes that point downwards/straight and regular mascara never works for holding a curl even with a shiseido eyelash curler. All I do is curl with my curler like usual and put this on and BAM! I have worn it for hours when doing all sorts of things with the gym and everything.

I’ve even wore it for an all day volleyball tournant and it works well! I used to wear it everyday because of how amazing it made my lashes look but I noticed that my lashes became thin and short and read somewhere that waterproof mascara can do that to a lot of people.

It’s just common with waterproof mascaras but not everyone experiences this, I have friends who have used this and don’t share the same issue I do so it’s not the product itself. It’s just a fair warning to not be too shocked.

I regrew my lashes and strengthened them back to normal with caster oil so everything is okay now, but my lashes are way healthier now that I barely wear regular mascara. But I do keep this to put on for special events like pictures or parties where I really want my lashes to pop.

There is also a slight issue on taking it off, I only put a little makeup on so most of the time if I just wash my face, everything comes off. I bought an eye makeup remover for this product but it didn’t really work that well so it’s a bit tough to get off, but if you had an oil based remover I think that would work since the formula is waterproof meaning a water based one might mot be as effective.

(my remover was water based) Otherwise I would recommend this product.

I loooove ultra lush mascaras such as Too Faced BTS, so when I saw a Bambi mascara by L’Oréal I picked it up immediately. My excitement turned to disappointment pretty quickly – the formula is so sticky that my lashes clump up together in little packets.

Then I need to use a dry mascara wand to comb out all the clumps and clean up the smudges. I already own many great mascara formulas that give you lush lashes without all that extra effort required by the Bambi mascara.

And on top of that my lashes aren’t even that impressive when I use this mascara. I’ve tried several times now and always the same issue with the clumping, guess this one will be finding a new home in the trash bin at this point.

I have long, dark brown, heeeavy lashes. My go to mascara was Waterproof Maybelline Lash Sensational. I love that mascara so much except it never comes off with makeup remover and by the end of the day or next morning I’d have horrible raccoon eyes.

Bambi Eye mascara doesn’t clump (even after five coats) and separates my lashes well. It removes easy. And just to test it out I applied my mascara as usual and went to bed. No raccoon eyes!! And it keeps my lashes lifted.

It’s not as dramatic or curling as my previous mascara but after a few coats and presses with the curler, it’s perfect. Using the wand was a learning curve as I’ve always used straight or curved mascara wands, but I like it! It’s big but not so big I’m getting mascara in my hair (not that that matters it’s almost black rn) and I accidentally grabbed black instead of the super black or whatever but that’s my fault for being in a hurry.

It works really well with my natural lash shape, I can get the really long outter lashes well to create a wing like Effie’s eyelashes when she kissed Hamish.

All of my make up is either MAC, Bobbi Brown, or similar. However, for whatever reason, I’ve always felt like my drugstore waterproof mascara was fine. The length of my lashes is nice but they are stick straight and almost slant downward.

Because of that I can only wear waterproof to hold a curl. I’ve used various drugstore brands over the years and they’ve always been fine. Last week I decided to try this one from Chanel and I am permanently and forever converted.

It’s fantastic. Most importantly for me, my lashes are holding the curl. On top of that though, the formula is great, not too watery and not too dry. Gives my lashes a natural look. Formula isn’t clumpy at all and went on perfectly.

I love it!.

I love this mascara and hope it is only temporarily out of stock (please, please, please, be temporary). I’ve developed pretty bad allergies to makeup in recent years. As someone who always loved wearing makeup it’s been very difficult, and my only solace has been that at least there are a few things that I can still tolerate.

This is one. The no smudge formula stays put so it doesn’t get on my skin and eyes to irritate. It also does a great job of defining my eyes and made my recent inability to wear eyeliner and eyeshadow tolerable because at least my eyes still pop.

I really love this product and hope it’s back soon.

If you live in a hot and humid climate like I do here in coastal Florida, then you know you NEED waterproof mascara, unless you enjoy looking like a raccoon. This is THE best waterproof mascara I have ever used.

It does not smudge, and it comes off with soap and water and a washcloth in the shower. Dark black, glossy lashes are pretty, and it separates them perfectly without any clumping or globs. It adds a bit of length and thickness naturally.

I liked it so much that I went back and ordered two more tubes within the same week. I need makeup that stays on my face at the beach, my art shows, behind my reading glasses, and at work. I have an oily t-zone, and this has stood up to that as well so far.

My only complaint is that it doesn’t seem to hold my curled lashes throughout the entire day, but perhaps I need a new curler, or an eyelash perm. Otherwise, this mascara is pretty much perfect for me, and I wouldn’t blink twice about ordering more.

As I write, Bobbi Brown No Smudge Waterproof Mascara is currently out of stock at Nordstrom (March 9, 2020). I came here to purchase a replenishment after finishing the first bottle that I purchased 2 years ago in 2018.

For the time being, I will settle for writing a review instead. This mascara addresses both my special needs and minimalist aesthetic: Due to severe dry eye, my lash line is easily irritated. For decades, I had searched but could not find a waterproof mascara that would not inflame my lash line, resulting in actual pain and noticeable lash shedding.

Secondly, since I wear little to no makeup, I found those other mascara’s unsuitably heavy. The reason I thought I would try Bobbi Brown’s mascara was that I had previously tried her liquid foundation and found, to my surprise, that it soothed my ultra sensitive skin and was so light that it beautifully suited my minimalist aesthetic.

I was pleased to find that, as with the Bobbi Brown foundation, I had finally found the mascara for me! Here are specific details: The brush holds just enough. There is no excess to have to blot with a tissue, nor is there need for a second coat.

The brush itself is perfectly designed so there is no smudging during application. What is more, as it doesn’t run, I do not need to reapply during the day, making this a long lasting product. More importantly for those with special needs, the mascara is completely non-irritating, with a light, natural feel and look.

Happily then, this one does not inflame my lash line like other waterproof mascaras I had previously tried. As a result, I no longer experience shedding. I have also been pleased to observe that as long as I religiously use my night time eye ointment, I am experiencing regrowth in the areas that had become patchy over the years as I lost lashes to the process of removing other waterproof mascaras from other product lines.

That I get to keep all my lashes is good news for dry eye sufferers who struggle to find the right mascara! What is more, even when I forget or I am too tired to wash my face at bedtime, I experience no downside to sleeping in this mascara, although typically waterproof eye makeup should be removed before bed.

As an aside, I find that I can also sleep in my Bobbi Brown liquid foundation with no ill effects to my skin. Highly recommended!.

After hearing about this mascara for a couple years I finally tried it. First time I tried it, it was verrrrryyyy wet and a lot of product comes on the brush, and it was transferring really easily since it takes a while to dry.

Also my lashes were so clumpy. Just tried it again for the second time, and even though I swiped so much extra product off the brush, it was STILL too much product, still transferred, and still did not separate my lashes at all.

I think the formula is too wet and the brush is not helping either. I’m sure it’s waterproof cause it was tough to take off. If you’re searching for a great waterproof mascara try NYX worth the hype waterproof mascara because it truly is worth the hype.

Inexpensive, cruelty free, very widely available. Goes on smooth, separates lashes, dries quickly, keeps lashes curled, and it LASTS even through a good nights sleep. I’ve woken up with it still on and no raccoon eyes and very minimal flaking.

People have asked if I’m wearing falsies or if I’ve had lash extensions when I wear it, and I never do any of that. And it does all that without setting spray, I always curl my lashes and apply mascara after my setting spray because otherwise my lashes lose the curl.

It’s been my absolute favorite mascara for a few years now, trust me you will not be disappointed.

[brand:essence] Amazing for the price! I’d heard a lot of hype about the lash princess mascara line so couldn’t wait to try one for myself. I chose the Sculpted volume (purple one) as I liked the shape of the wand and the claims of the mascara – and this is a super affordable drugstore option.

I have medium length lashes so I like a mascara that provides volume and separates the lashes – lengthening is a bonus. The mascara claims to provide “dramatic volume and defined lashes. stunning eye-opening effect”.

The mascara is on the wetter side and applies a lot of product to the lashes. 2-3 coats provides insane length, curling and volume to the lashes! I really like the curved wand which follows the natural curve of the eye – it makes the mascara really easy to apply.

You do need to be careful as the wetter formula can get messy pretty quickly and I often find some smudging once it’s been applied – you need to wait some time because it takes a while to dry down. It’s really easy to just wipe away with a tissue/cue tip.

The mascara provides volume and length. You need to be careful as the wand does apply a lot of product and it can get clumpy – I like to use a clean spoolie to separate the lashes once the mascara is applied.

I’ve never experienced any flaking. I do get a small amount of transfer on my upper eye lid/brow but as I have oily lids I experience this with almost all mascaras. It wipes off easily so this isn’t a deal breaker for me.

It provides volume which lasts all day, even when I work a 13 hour shift. Overall 4ï¸ âƒ£/5ï¸ âƒ£ – you can’t beat the quality of this mascara for the price, and I’m definitely buying this one again! I’m giving it a 4 because you do need to be careful when you’re applying it.

I’ve tried several different mascaras At different price points after my go-to for the last like 10 years (Maybelline the Falsies waterproof) seemed to have changed formulas and began to smudge. I it’s important to know that I put a lot of tough demands on my mascara- I ride horses/am at the barn pretty frequently and do a lot of hiking and gardening but I live in Florida so I sweat.

A lot. If I’m pouring sweat this mascara will smudge a bit, but not going-through-a-breakup amounts of smudging. A day at the barn results in a little bit of smudging here and there but nothing crazy.

This defines my lashes nicely while also adding volume and length. I get occasional clumping but nothing bad. If I spend all day indoors it will last until the following day and I have oily eyelids, so honestly I think this mascara is great! Smudging etc seems to vary a lot from person to person but at least for me this one out-performed all of the way more expensive ones, so this is my new go-to.

Not as dramatic as some of the other mascaras I’ve tried but still more dramatic than most!.

I’m sad to write this because I love Clinique however both times I have worn this Mascara I ended up with a severe reaction turn infection! I hardly ever wear mascara because I hate how it ends up clumpy on your face.

But I really try to when I go out if I’m in the mood. I really wanted to try Cliniques because it’s waterproof and high impact. The first time I wore it, I thought I was reacting to environmental allergies or something, but now as I write this today in so much pain, it’s happened again! I put the mascara on yesterday afternoon to go out.

Around 2 hours later, My eyes started to itch, burn, felt like sand was in my eyes! On top of that, my eyes would not stop tearing and created the worst eye gunk that hasn’t yet stopped would not stop for days the first time! It’s so painful, that when I woke today, my eyes were swollen shut, full of infection and felt like someone socked me in the eyes! This hasn’t ever happened to me no matter what mascara I’ve used in the past.

Definitely would not recommend buying this product.

In my opinion i think this is one of the best drugstore mascaras and easily bets many high-end brands. This is my go to when I want length and volume and when I want to draw eyes to my eyes. This wears well, doesn’t smudge, flake or leave me with racoon eyes.

Another thing I need(look for) in a mascara is for it to be washable and easy to take off. I used to get eye lash extentions and when covid hit and the shop closed they grew out and fall off but I lost a lot of my lashes and they were short, thin and brittle.

I used Babe eyelashes serum and they grew back strong and long, thank God. But because of this I have a fear of losing lashes so I don’t like to touch them or rug and tug when I take my makeup off. I normally use a cleansing balm but evem then there are certain brands that are just tough to get off.

This stays on until you take it off and when you do it is a easy and smooth experience. If you are looking for a great mascara [brand:maybelline] makes the best!.

It’s a good mascara and works well for price. It was my first mascara and it did the job will lengthening. One thing I dislike about this mascara was the wand, it’s good but the amount of product every time i take it out of the tube to use it is quite annoying.

I thought it was just a unlucky bottle but then after purchasing another new one. I realize that it was the stopper of the bottle. it just doesn’t keep work well. After few uses, all those product goes up the top of the wand and it’s wasted.

Mascara is good but design of the bottle could be better. It is also quite smudgy after a day with mask on, so be careful with that. Overall it’s a nice one to have in your collection and could be good daily mascaras for some but honestly I think it’s worth investing in a higher price point mascara that is not time consuming to use daily.

It’s worth a try but I think that there’s definitely room for improvement.

I love this waterproof mascara! It has the same length and volume as the original Monsieur Big and really is a dramatic look. I apply 2 layers to top and bottom lashes and it doesn’t burn my sensitive eyes.

The original formula started to clump and burn my eyes a little, possibly because the formula seemed to have a perfumey scent. But the waterproof smells like a normal mascara which is great. I have cried while wearing this and got no smudging on my top or bottom lash line.

After wiping my eyes with a tissue there were some small black crumbles under my lower lashline, however they easily wiped away and didn’t smear. The impact after crying was less dramatic but you could tell there was still mascara on.

I’d prefer to buy this with a discount or coupon but it’s worth it to me for the intense dramatic look. It removed easily with Farmacy green clean cleansing balm and Pacifica vegan ceramide cleanser.

I did also go over the residue with Garnier waterproof Micellar water.

For years I would always try expensive full sized mascaras. The one I held as my gold standard for at least ten or so of those years has been Dior’s black out. I decided to hop onto YouTube and watch a top ten mascara segment.

This one girl, can’t rem her name right now has a top ten fave list of lots of products. I kept expecting Dior to make an appearance on the list. And then when they got to number 1, I was like oh my god, it’s number one! But it wasn’t, which meant it didn’t even make the top ten list, I was kind of crushed and I was sure, absolutely sure that these girls had no clue what they were talking about, that my mascara was the number 1 of all time.

But just to test their “theory” I bought this little guy. And he’s hiding looking nervous for a reason because he is the Brad Pitt, he is the Harry Styles for this younger gen, of all mascaras. And he blows Dior’s black out miles out of the water.

This little guy makes me happier than three inches (in the past) has ever made me. My lashes are somewhat long and thick to begin w but this just explodes them, and without getting too spider monkey on me.

It has been a long minute I didn’t try a bad mascara such as this one. I got a travel size of this mascara in my Macy’s beauty box this month. I was very excited to try it but. Look at the pictures. And I assure you the pictures make this mascara look double as better as this was in real life.

I have long, full, straight but not thick lashes. I have big eyes. The applicator is huge. It picks up a TON product and I had to scrape off some in order to be able to even attempt to wear it. Mascara got all over the place: upper lid, lash line, top and bottom waterline (and I am not spring chicken I KNOW how to apply mascara).

It took a long time to clean up as much as I could with a cotton swab. Look at the result. chunks of lashes, clumps, no matter how much i combed no better results. Fast forward an hour. Wearability? OMG it felt SO weighting on my lashes, i felt as if i had something on my eye.

It flaked a lot. HORRIBLE in every possible way. I compared it with the green essence lash princess. MUCH better and this is not even my favorite mascara. BTW. my essence mascara is old and half dried up yet kicked butt to this overpriced Lancôme messy product.

Just FYI. UPDATE: I went to remove the mascara and. oh dear. I did an oil cleansing. A cream wash. A soapy cleanser. And STILL i find a halo under the Lancôme eye. WOW. This thing is really horrible.

Mascara woes, in general: Have you started using a mascara and thought “Wow! This is the best stuff ever!” but a month down the road, it just isn’t as great as it was on day one? Either it doesn’t separate lashes as well, or the lengthening ability seems to have quit working or.

it’s just not the same as it was when you first started using it. That is my love/hate relationship with mascara throughout my entire 33 years of makeup-wearing. Pros: I received this on Thursday and I love it! My top & bottom lashes look longer and they are oh-so-nicely separated.

when they say black, they actually mean it. it’s not a dark gray and it covers all of my very fine, naturally dark blonde lashes well. Four stars instead of five because: Making my lashes look thicker doesn’t seem to be on the menu for this mascara in one coat.

Two coats about 30 seconds apart from one another does give them a bit more oomph, although not a lot. This mascara’s future in my world: Right now, I would say that I will buy the full size of this mascara when I run out of the mini.

that is, if it doesn’t lose it’s mojo with my lashes after a few weeks like every other mascara I’ve ever tried has done. if I do keep using this mascara, I will likely layer it with a second mascara that gives volume but lacks in the ability to separate and lengthen.

Mascara is such a subjective product; different people have different lashes and lids and desire different effects. For that reason, I can’t outright pan this mascara, but I was really disappointed that the formula didn’t give me the results I look for.

I have dark, straight lashes of varying lengths and density, fairly dry lids, and I go for a “My Face But Better” look when doing my makeup. My favorite mascaras tend to be 1) long-wearing tubing formulas that give my lashes a boost without being obvious 2) non-clumping, non-flaking formulas I can swipe on and forget about for the rest of the day, and 3) easy to remove with my regular micellar water at the end of the day.

2 of my HG mascaras-They’re Real Tinted Primer and They’re Real in shade Mink Brown-are not only made by Benefit but *part of this mascara line*. I was really excited about this VoxBox, but They’re Real MAGNET just missed the mark for me.

I’m including photos for comparison, but the first thing I noticed was the wand. They’re Real/Primer and even Roller Lash have thin, very flexible wands; however, the MAGNET wand is stiff and much thicker.

You can tell it is meant to grab more product, and it does. The first time I used MAGNET, the product application was so thick and goopy I had to go back through my lashes with a clean wand to separate my lashes.

Bit of a hassle, but they looked nice when I’d finished. A few hours later, I had to remove one of my contacts because something was in my eye: the culprit ended up being 2 big flecks of mascara 🙁 I wrote it off as user error, and decided to scrape off the excess on the tube before use next time to avoid a repeat.

I also made a note that the mascara didn’t come off with Bioderma and my second cleanse that first evening. The second time I wore MAGNET, I scraped off the excess on the tube and applied carefully. The formula feels very thick, almost like dried out Roller Lash.

I think this could give a volumizing effect, but it made my uneven length lashes clump together again. I separated them out with a lash tool but felt like I had spider-leg lashes. I was sweeping fallout from my undereyes all day but still had a hard time removing the mascara.

If you oil-cleanse regularly, removal shouldn’t be a problem (I just didn’t have an oil or biphasic on hand and had to hunt one down). As with all mascaras, I’d recommend purchasing in travel size first to see if this works for you before committing to the full size.

Benefit is awesome about making sample/travel sizes available and they last for several months with daily use. #VoxBox #Benefit #TheyreRealMAGNET #mascara.

I get lash lifts every couple months to give my lashes a boost. Sometimes between lifts different lashes curl/fall at different rates. Most mascaras are too heavy and only make this worse or emphasize the falling lashes by clumping on them.

This mascara does an amazing job of being my “base” mascara. I know it sounds crazy but I’ve found a combo that works. The brush really helps separate my lashes and comb/set them with adding some thickness (something my spoolie cant do).

The formula is light and airy enough that it almost acts as a “hairspray” for your lashes. I then top from mid shaft to the tips with the essence lash princess false lash effect mascara and boom they are huge.

Sometimes hard to justify the price point but I haven’t found anything else that helps tame my lashes and is light enough that it wont look like clumpy early 2000s spider lashes and it takes me quite awhile to get through a tube.

If you are looking for one mascara to do it all it is not my favorite but if you want something that holds your lashes while separating and lifting them I highly recommend this one!.

The box the mascara came in looked very professional. It was well labelled. I could see exactly what the product was and the brand name. Ere Perez sounded very unique for a brand name. I was very impressed that it was waterproof.

It’s great that it was waterproof because it won’t smudge if the eyes get watery. The white mascara tube looked great as well. It looked very professional. The way Ere Perez was written was very stylish.

It was very easy to open the lid. It was very easy to use the applicator to apply mascara to my eyes. The mascara didn’t get clumpy when I applied it and it was long lasting. I also liked the size of the mascara, it wasn’t too big.

I was gifted a sample to trial and review.
