Mascara that works with a watery eye due to blocked tear duct

Does anyone else have a blocked tear duct and their eye waters constantly?
If so, what mascara have you found that doesn't disappear from the constant watering?

I just wouldn’t wear mascara, I’d be too worried some of it would wash into my eye. I’d consider dyeing them/ having them dyed in a salon.

Tubing mascara
Comes off with warm water, ie above body temperature.
Boots, Estée Lauder and Clinique all do them.

Definitely boots no 7 tubing mascara !!

I’d dye them. It’s really easy. If that doesn’t float your boat then Eyeko does a fab waterproof mascara.

I use the Clinique tubing mascara, Lash Power. I have very runny eyes, and that's the only one that doesn't leave me looking like a panda. I do still get a little bit of streaking though, but it is the best of the ones I've tried.

Thank you, I went with the boot no7 one.
By the end of the day I still have less mascara on the watery eye but it's much better than it was.
No mascara isn't really an option, as my eyelashes are pretty much non existant without it.
I'm wondering if I could get them tinted? as the left waters constantly some days and worry that I'd end up with tint in my eye.

Best waterproof mascara I have ever used is heroine (see amazon) , I literally wore it swimming and in the ocean on holiday and it never budged. It’s also amazing mascara in general, and is really good at lengthening and giving lashes a curl. I have had loads of compliments on it. It’s also a really good price.

Only thing is because it’s so effectively waterproof you will need an oil based eye makeup remover to take it off

@Chloefairydust thanks, will have a look on amazon.
