Recommendations for waterproof but easy to remove mascara

Teenage daughter is very sporty, training outdoors in all weathers 5 days a week. She's started wearing mascara every day and needs a sweat and downpour proof mascara that can be removed easily. Not high end as she'll be purchasing it herself. TIA.

A tubing one. MAC gigalash. Clinique lash power

@BankersBonus No. So we have regular panda eyes!

@Penvelopey I'm so last century I've never heard of tubing mascara! This looks like a good option.

No.7 waterproof mascara from Boots. About £12 but they also do 3for2 in a regular basis. I've worn it for decades and it never smudges in any condition. I love it.
Easy to remove with normal eye make up remover.

Utter game changers. Its just hard to spot them when you shop for them. And no good for swimming.

Yes, definitely a tubing mascara.

They're often not labelled as such - have a look at the writing on the back, and if it says something like 'Easily removed with warm water' it's a tubing mascara.

They stay on in rain/sweat/swimming, but come off wtih a warm wet flannel/in the shower. Your DD just needs to try not to rub her eyes when wet, as it can flake off a bit then.

I wear this one, which is definitely in the teenager budget!

They're often not labelled as such which is a right pain in the bum. It's a major selling point so I don't know why they don't shout about it. Thanks for the rimmel tip.

I don't know if it's a tubing mascara but I swear by the collection waterproof mascara. Not just because it's waterproof, it's just the best mascara I've tried. Pretty cheap too
