Who has a really good (not expensive) waterproof mascara they can recommend please?

Hoping someone can please give me a recommendation - needs to be black and waterproof BUT really key thing is that it's easy to remove with make up remover (due to my most recent experience).

Prices on this forum often run a little high for me 😂 ...so I'm not looking for really high end products, just normal drugstore under £15 ish. I've had plenty in the past in this price range that were great but I can never remember which I've bought before.

The last few waterproof mascaras I've tried have been dire. Most recent one was Maybelline Sky High which was good enough whilst on but like permanent concrete trying to take off! Two different types of make up remover and micellar water and it would not budge - I ended up having to pick it off where I could, it was horrendous. Never had that happen before but it's made me very nervous of future purchases!

Many thanks in advance!

You need a tubing mascara, comes off just with warm water and will not budge or smudge. I have very hooded eyes and this is the only thing that works for me

This. It works.

Sorry, it won't let me edit. No.7 I should have said.
360 I find gives good volume, is waterproof and comes off with micellar water. The brush is a good shape which makes it easy to apply

Agreed! In fact any of the No 7 waterproof have been good for me

I've tried Sky High and I'm the same as you. I love it on but just can't get it off, even with the blue Nivea so I worry for my lashes which aren't great at the best of times. So I've reverted to No 7 tubing mascara which does the job and comes off easily with warm water

Maybelline Falsies is my current favourite, you do need an oil based remover though

Eyeko Beach Waterproof mascara. Amazing stuff! Everything else smudges on me, except this one.

I keep going back to the purple No.7 one.

I use Clinique lash power it's around £20 but it's excellent

I've been using the max factor false lash effect waterproof one...I've been quite pleased with it

I’ve used this for years too but I always use an oil cleanser in the evening
