Jessica Teich is the deputy editor for the Good Housekeeping Institute with a decade of beauty editorial experience. ![]() After applying 420 strokes of mascara in Lab testing and tallying the results of 6,432 questions from 402 testers, we compiled this list of the very best waterproof mascaras. In past tests, we've used VISIA imaging for before-and-after imaging to score how well the mascara lengthened and volumized the eyelashes. In the Lab, our panel of experts evaluated waterproof claims by applying a controlled amount of product, letting it dry for a set time and splashing it with a set amount of warm water to see how well the waterproof mascaras resisted smearing and running. We then conducted a consumer at-home study on 402 testers, who used the assigned product at least three times before completing a standardized questionnaire rating ease of use, performance and overall satisfaction on everything from application (smoothness and brush design) to desired look (think: whether the product was volumizing, curling, defining or thickening) and how it wore (including whether it flaked, ran or smudged) and if it was easy to remove at the end of the day. ![]() In our most recent test of waterproof mascara, the GH Institute Beauty Lab started with 96 mascaras and whittled down the field to the 21 best. Over the course of three wears, our testers reported back on the mascara's wear, ease of use and waterproof capabilities, plus how easy it was to remove at the end of the day ( taking off waterproof mascara can be a feat, even with a top-notch makeup remover!).īased on GH Beauty Lab tests, found from tallying the results of 6,432 questions, these are the best waterproof mascaras to survive everything from swimming to crying. They lab-tested each formula's ability to resist smudging, smearing and running, and enlisted 402 consumer testers to try the products at home. To find the best waterproof mascaras on the market, our experts sorted through more than 96 tubes in our most recent tests to narrow down the top picks. The GH Beauty Lab tests thousands of makeup, skincare and haircare products each year to find the best beauty products that are worth your money. While "they are usually a bit stickier require more time to dry, once set, they're designed to not smudge," she says. Plus, " w aterproof mascaras are typically superior in keeping lashes lifted and curled," says Sabina Wizemann, senior chemist in the Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab. ![]() While some mascara can result in smudgy eyes and dramatic mascara tears, the right waterproof formula will stand up against even the sweatiest summer weather. OK, obviously I did not review every single drugstore mascara.We updated this article in July 2022 to ensure all products tested and vetted by the Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab were available, in stock and correctly priced.Ī good mascara should be reliable, if nothing else - especially when it comes to waterproof options. I like this second tube a lot better, so I wonder if there might be inconsistency in the batches of this mascara. I proceeded to forget that I had already tried it, and purchased another tube from Target a few months later. And it is slightly harder to remove than the other mascaras in this lineup.Īlso, this is random, but I bought a tube of NYX On the Rise from Ulta, tried it and did not like it, and returned it. However this does smudge under my eyebrows after a few hours. On the Rise goes on beautifully- very lengthening, does not clump. It has a plastic, almond shaped wand (similar to the Loreal Bambi Eye, but a little longer). It is very cheap, and I have to say that looking at the comparison photo, it might be my favorite. NYX On the Rise was one that was recommended by several followers and other influencers. ![]()
