Swimming proof mascara?

Just found out Eyeko mascara has been discontinued so need to find a new one for beach holidays, swimming, hot weather etc. Tried the Clinique tubing one which wasn’t as good.

Anyone got any recommendations please?

Hi OP. Tubing mascaras are great for smudge resistance but not always the strongest for actual swimming. For proper water resistance, look for formulas with film-forming ingredients like "acrylates copolymer, VP/eicosene copolymer, or trimethylsiloxysilicate". Those tend to hold curl and resist water much better. If your eyes are sensitive, I’d avoid heavily fragranced formulas too because saltwater + heat can already irritate the eye area enough. Hope this helps!

@1emma19thanks for that, have been through the ingredients for a few and narrowed it down a little.

I was just coming on to recommend Eyeko so am disappointed to read your update that it’s discontinued 😢
