Is there a waterproof mascara that's easy to remove?

Is there such a thing as a waterproof mascara that not only adds length and volume to lashes, but is also easy to remove?

Ideally one that doesn't need to an oil based remover to take it off.

Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks.

It’s a tricky balancing act. Tubing mascaras don’t smudge at all and then come off in little wormy tubes when you wipe with warm water at the end of the day. But they don’t give really god volume.

Try Clinique Lash Power Long Wearing. It doesn't come off with cold water (tears/swimming pool) but does with warm water and it doesn't flake or smear.

Most mascaras leave me with Panda eyes by the end of the day but this one is excellent.

Thanks. I've tried 2 different tubing mascaras and both have shed tubes off my lower lashes throughout the day. It's not a good look!!
I'm now hoping a waterproof mascara might stay put but the ones I tried in the past (years ago) needed a lot of rubbing to remove them. My eyes have become very sensitive in the last couple of years so I need something that can be removed gently. I'm hoping waterproof mascaras have evolved.

Clinique mascaras are generally good

I recommend Boots No 7 extreme length waterproof mascara. No smudging during the day and comes off easily.

L'Oréal Paradise Waterproof doesn't smudge when I rub my eyes but comes off easily with Clinique Take the Day off liquid remover
