Waterproof mascara for sensitive eyes? Korean ones considered

I currently use the Bourjois Volume Glamour Care in the white tube - great in terms of being non-irritating, and the length of the wand compared to the brush is so nice to use, but it's not waterproof in any way and does flake off/smudge. How does the No7 sensitive Extreme Length one bear up? My lashes are quite thick but short and straight, so wondering if ones intended for Asian lashes might be good? I'd like it to hold a curl too.

How about a tubing mascara? Blinc, L'Oreal, Clinique, Estee Lauder, No7 and loads of other companies make them.

The one from Blinc is often mentioned as being good for sensitive eyes. I think it's around £20 though.

In case you're not aware, a tubing mascara is made with polymers that coat the lashes (like little tubes) and come off with warm water. I have used the L'Oreal version and the Estee Lauder version, and I have been really pleased with them - but my eyes aren't that sensitive. They don't smudge or flake on me.

Japanese brands invented tubing, I think. I'm not a huge mascara wearer but Heroine mascaras and Koji Dolly Wink have a huge following. See here.
