Is there such a thing as brown waterproof mascara?

And if you use one could you point me in the right direction please? Im a red head so prefer the softness of brown over black and I walk everywhere in all weathers so it needs to be waterproof not just resistant. It's like mission impossible..

No 7 do one. There's a few more brands that are doing them now as its quite fashionable. Before Brown waterproof mascara was quite hard to find!

Thanks @Leavesfalling I'll have a look in there after work, I never think of No 7

Number 7 do a tubing style mascara as well. I have brown black but not sure if they have brown brown.

I also have a plum maybelline mascara that looks great and doesn’t budge until you melt it off with hot water!

No.7 Extreme Length comes in Waterproof brown and its great!

I can highly recommend Elf tubing mascara which is available in brown. It’s amazing stuff and while not waterproof, it doesn’t move at all during the day and no under eye smudging.

I reacted to the No 7 one

ELF do a black/brown tubing mascara that doesn’t smudge and is around a tenner. It’s called lash extender.

Yes, the Elf one. I swear this thread is rubbing in the fact that my daughters friend stole it last week! Must buy more. Very good.

Maybelline sky high is amazing, the normal one hardly shifts but they do a waterproof brown as well

Ok thank you all for your suggestions. Didn't make it to the shops today but planning on heading to the ‘big’ Boots in town over the weekend with my list!
