Worried your mascara will run down your face along with tears of joy on the big day? OurWedding has rounded up the best brands that will not let you down.
The thought of make-up running down a perfectly powdered face must be every bride’s worst nightmare. What with emotions running high and the sight of a teary dad about to escort his daughter to the altar, shedding a few tears on your wedding day is a very likely scenario.
This is where a great waterproof mascara comes in handy. You can always consult your make-up artist to find out what mascara she uses, but if you’re not convinced, there’s nothing wrong with asking her to use a brand that has proven reliable and faithful to you. Still searching for the best one out there? Here’s our pick of the best waterproof mascaras you should try.
Max Factor False Lash Effect Waterproof Mascara
€12.99
Max Factor False Lash Effect has long been a loved mascara. True to its name, its defining brush and great formula make lashes look almost fake. The waterproof version does this plus it defies temperature and moisture.
Yves Saint Laurent Everlong Mascara Waterproof
€25.50
It coats evenly and doesn’t clump, and separates lashes in a natural, non-exaggerated way. It’s got a wide brush which means better coverage, and doesn’t wear off easily when in contact with water.
Lancôme Hypnôse Doll Eyes Waterproof Mascara
€27.60
This mascara gives a wide fan of defined, doll-like lashes. It’s brilliant enough as an ordinary mascara, and doesn’t transfer onto the skin when worn on lower lashes, but its ability to not be affected by moisture makes it a firm favourite.
Christian Dior Diorshow Waterproof Mascara
€29.50
This is rated among the best of the lot for its bold and dramatic effect on lashes as well as its ability to last all day irrespective of whether you’re shedding a few tears or taking a dip in the sea. Diorshow’s large brush and uber-black pigment are just two more reasons to love this mascara.
Bobbi Brown No Smudge Mascara
€23.50
The bottle says ‘no smudge’ but its actually waterproof – it does a great job of staying in place, and also lengthens and curls lashes in the most effective way.
