20 Best Waterproof Mascaras You Can Find At The Drugstore
By ZOE NOLZ
Best Overall
Maybelline New York’s Volum’ Express The Colossal Waterproof Mascara lasts for long periods without getting messed up, and has rave reviews like “BEST MASCARA EVER!” This reliable mascara is marked as Amazon’s choice and is available on the site for $5.60.
Best Long-Lasting
For a waterproof mascara that will stay on all day at work and all night at the club, try the No7 Mascara Stay Perfect Long Wear in Tubular Black. This product is particularly great because it never shows signs of wearing off, even after crying or sweating a ton — find it for $8.99 at Target.
Best For Volumizing Lashes
The New York Lash Sensational Sky High Waterproof Mascara from Maybelline New York is $8.53 on Amazon and is so powerful it gives the illusion of a lash lift. Maybelline’s The Great Lash Washable Mascara is another great volumizing option, available at Target for $5.49.
Best For Lengthening Lashes
L’Oréal’s Unlimited Length and Lift Mascara, available at Ulta for $13.99, lengthens and curls your lashes as its bristles enhance each lash. You also can’t go wrong with the Wet n Wild Mega Length Waterproof Mascara, and at $3.79 on the company site, you can’t beat the price.
Best For Darkening Lashes
If you truly want to make your eyelashes stand out, look for a mascara that not only lengthens or volumizes your lashes but also makes them significantly darker. The Urban Decay Perversion Waterproof Mascara, available for $22.10 at Macy’s, is very dark, doesn’t clump, and goes on incredibly smoothly.
