Best waterproof mascara for DDad's funeral

Hi - I suppose the title says it all really. I've got blonde eyelashes but I have never had them tinted and I don't have time to get them done at a salon plus I'm not sure enough to try it out myself with a home kit.

So I need a proper industrial strength waterproof mascara please for my dearest dad's funeral. If it can be bought on Amazon prime, that would be best.

Thanks in advance. Flowers

No7 stay perfect mascara or clinque lash power ( bit more pricey though)
I work outside all year and with masks etc these are the only two that never come off!

So sorry for your loss.
I’m not sure on the waterproof mascara, but just wanted to say that if you wear eyeliner make sure that’s waterproof too. Rimmel to a good waterproof eyeliner pencil - the brown one is nice, more natural looking than black.

Sorry for your loss op. Try a tubing mascara. They don't budge or smudge with crying and come off really easily just with water. I only wear tubing. This one is Amazon Prime £4.69

So sorry.

The No 7 one in the gold tube is a tubing one and is bombproof.

Thank you so much for your responses - I’ll certainly look into all of these (and the waterproof eyeliner, which I’ve never considered before).

@ElspethFlashman is the one you mean one of the Stay Perfect mascaras? www.boots.com/no7-inspiration-and-advice/no7-mascaras-explained

Thanks again.

Yes that's the one. It looks like there's an Ultra version now but they both appear to be the same.

Be warned, it only comes off with warm water and comes off in eyelash shaped bits. So you get a fright and think your eyelashes are falling out! But it's just their coating.

I don't wear it every day as I prefer to just use a micellar water to get off makeup and in the summertime don't even always have hot water in the tap! But it's like concrete.

Don't layer it up though. Goes spidery if you do as it sets instantly so you're trying to layer up hard lashes and it doesn't comb through that well and just sits on top, iykwim.

Thanks @ElspethFlashman. I did remember using Blinc probably over 15 years ago when it was the first (?) tubing mascara but gave up on it after a while so I won't panic at the mini spiders legs. I'll see if I can get into a Boots in the next couple of days.

Thanks again everyone for your responses.
