Have waterproof mascaras improved?

[octopusrus]

Going on holiday soon and I usually get an LVL treatment but I'm sick of how they grow out so strangely so thinking of going back to waterproof mascara & eyeliner instead.

I have a Rimmel eyeliner to try, does anyone have any recommendations for a waterproof mascara?

Or any other waterproof recommendations?

I love my tubing mascaras. Boots No7 for daytime, Estée Lauder for a fuller effect. They only come off with hot water.

Thank you! Didn't realise tubing mascaras were waterproof - so they'd be fine in a pool as long as it wasn't too hot?

Yes I would think so - although I haven't been swimming since using it, I've been in the shower, cried, washed my hair and it hasn't budged. You have to use warm water on a flannel or cotton wool to remove it, and it doesn't just wipe off even then - you have to hold the flannel on your lashes for a minute or so to melt the tubes. It's great stuff! What I like best about it is I never get grey smudges under my eyes anymore; it comes off really cleanly (more so the No7 one, the EL has some fibres in it that take a bit more wiping).

I've found the No7 one almost impossible to remove with a flannel and warm water, it goes cold before it melts it, but comes off very easily in the shower, so temperature does seem to be a factor. Comes off as little black bits, no smudging. However I hate the look of it, it gives unnatural spidery-looking lashes.

Hmm think it might annoy me if I can't get it off with a normal remover at the end of the day!

Yes, it annoys me too and I don't generally suffer with smudging anyway, I will be going back to normal mascara when this runs out.

I really like the Clinique one. It’s not that difficult to ge5 off, just warm water.

I've got the eyeko sport waterproof mascara- £10 in M&S last year.

It stayed on even when I swam with my head in the sea.

Came off with baby wipes

Clinque High Impact water proof is great. My fave mascara and really doesn't budge

Thanks for the recommendations!

Most are ok but some are too drying. I like the black maybelline one (cannot remember it's name) and have the Loreal baby something one and the architect waterproof too.

I love the L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes in waterproof. It stays put through anything; tears, swimming etc and looks great. I have stubby pale lashes and it brings them out a treat. I remove with Garnier Skin Active Express 2 in 1 eye makeup remover (purple one that you shake to mix) and it melts off easy as anything with NO rubbing. I have sensitive skin too and both of these are completely brilliant.

I have the blue Maybelline one and it stays put very well.

I always swim in mine and it doesn't budge - Max factor 2000 calories waterproof
