Best waterproof mascara

I normally have an eyelash tint and lift for holiday but I just haven’t got time. What’s the best waterproof mascara? I need something as otherwise it looks like I have no eyelashes 🤣

I like tubing mascara - the one I use is L'Oreal Beauty Tubes.
I prefer it to waterproof mascara as I worry about pulling too much at the skin around my eyes getting it off.
Tubing comes off pretty easily with hot water but is otherwise pretty unshiftable, ime.

Beauty Pie - if you curl your lashes, it will hold the curl too, it’s excellent.

Tube mascara. I use Elf. To remove it you actually have to rub your lashes between your fingers. It doesn't budge.

Maybelline. It's fantastic. Doesn't flake. Doesn't budge or smudge but comes off easily at night with cleansing lotion.

I have No7 tubing mascara and personally think it is the best product invented, it only comes off with warm wateror pick it off

Tubing for me too. My favourite is Urban Decay Tube Job.

I am old so my eyelashes are sparse but tubing mascara seems to "add lash" its great and I've been wearing mascara for 40 years it's a revelation .

Another vote for tubing mascara. Only discovered it recently - no more itchy eyes or smudges.

Although I’ve just googled and it says it’s not good for swimming??
