Good waterproof mascara?

5 replies

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and shopping for toiletries for my hospital bag tomorrow.

I know it's not a fashion show, and I'm not going to cake it on, but would really like a good waterproof mascara. It'll just make me feel a bit better about the first few pictures with the baby.

So any suggestions?

I only ever wear waterproof as I can't bear any smudge issues. I swear I've tried them all. Currently using Max Factors in the following tubes - green, not too bad, adds volume, no smudge/run. Purple one, goes on well and lasts but doesn't add huge volume, fairly natural look, again very waterproof. Black one, pretty thick and wet to apply and takes a bit to dry so you have to be careful, good thick volume, slightly false lash but if you can get past the trying time its then waterproof . Also recently tried Benefit They're Real, not technically waterproof, I think they describe it as water resistant or something? They said it would be fine in a sauna/steam room. It isn't. Goes on ok and has a nice look but will run if you cry/get wet so not ideal in your situation. My all time favourites are Lancome definicils for a natural look and Doll Eyes for a fuller look. Both definately waterproof. Good luck with your new arrival....and nothing wrong at all with wanting to look good post delivery.

I like boots 17. Not too thick or clumpy and lasts all day. Never wear anything else now.

I like Dior Iconic. ££ but lasts forever.

I have the waterproof version of Lancôme Doll Eyes and love it (probably more than my day to day mascara).

Maybelline the rocket is fantastic.
