Hi everyone, it’s my Mums funeral next week and so I need the very best waterproof mascara recommendations please. I don’t want to end up looking more horrific then I already feel.

thank you

Perhaps don't wear any. Problem solved

I’m sorry for your loss. When I was in your position I didn’t wear mascara on that day. That could be one option.

Whilst I agree that’s the best solution. My eyes will look very small and sunken. So would rather not do that if there is a magical alternative

How about getting them tinted?

I'm sorry for your loss.

I faced the same problem a couple of weeks ago and used this one . I cried a lot, but it didn't budge. It came off with a cleanser easily.

I love Barry M’s “It’s a Wrap” tubing mascara. It doesn’t smudge or run once it’s dry and looks really good on. I once fell asleep without taking it off and it still looked perfect in the morning, although of course I don’t recommend doing that.

ETA: I’m sorry for your loss.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I like Collection Lash Surge waterproof. It’s cheap as chips but really nice and has never let me down. I hope it all
goes as well as it can for you.

I'm so sorry about your Mum. I use Max Factor 2000 waterproof mascara for very sweaty gym classes and it doesn't budge, hard to get off with make up remover!

I’m so sorry for your loss. Tubing mascara is good. I just got the Rum mascara and it’s brilliant. X

I wore waterproof mascara to my lovely Mum’s funeral in 2023, I think it was Max Factor. Cried a lot but it did not budge.

Sorry to hear about your mum too x
