Five Best Waterproof Mascaras

With spring right around the corner, it's time to start planning ahead for the warmer weather. There are new waterproof mascara formulas out there that are not anything like the traditional waterproof formulas that tend to be dry and inky. These wear more like regular mascara, and give you all of the benefits of length and volume they haven't in the past. Below are the five best waterproof mascaras of the season.

Shu Uemura Precise Volume Mascara
If you're looking for a formula that will give you a ton of volume without doing the 'cakey' thing a lot of waterproof formulas can give, this one by Shu Uemera is the one to go for. It's a bit on the pricey side, but you'll definitely get what you pay for.

Neutrogena Healthy Lengths Waterproof Mascara
This is the best blend for you if you have sensitive eyes, or are a contact lens wearer. Waterproof mascaras tend to flake because they lack moisture, but this brand will not flake or irritate the skin around your lashes. It's great at lengthening, and best of all? Affordable at around $7.

Laura Mercier Waterproof Mascara
This is the best waterproof mascara if you are looking for something that layers well, and expertly takes you from day to night. Unlike most waterproof mascaras, this blend can layer without losing lash definition or getting the 'spider' effect. It's a high end brand, so expect to pay a little more for this brand, but it is well worth it.

Revlon Fabulash Waterproof Mascara
Another winner of the drug store blends, this formula not only lengthens lashes, but conditions lashes to help prevent breakage, drying, and promote growth. The least expensive of the list, you aren't compromising a thing by going with this cheaper brand. This is a great mascara to use if you are using a lash growing protocol.

Yves Saint Laurent Everlong Waterproof Mascara
This is the Cadillac of all of the brands listed here, and the price comes from the ingredients. Using all natural oils, this is a luxurious formula that doesn't even seem like a water proof mascara. The colors are rich, and great for doing everything: lengthening, volumizing and conditioning.

So if you've been trying to find the best waterproof mascara for your needs, look no further than this list. There's a great formula available for you at all price-points and for what you need. Gone are the days when you would rather risk your mascara running than go waterproof!
