The Best Waterproof Mascaras For Summer

The Best Waterproof Mascaras For Summer
By 

Executive Fashion And Beauty Editor, The Huffington Post

The mark of a great waterproof mascara is simple: it has to be waterproof. That means no running, no smudging and definitely no clumping.

The beauty product is essential during the hot-weather months. Whether you work up a sweat by walking from point A to point B, or you happen to get caught in an unexpected summer downpour, you'll want a product that will keep your lashes looking full throughout the day.

Try one of the eight waterproof mascaras below and worry less about runny eye makeup. Just make sure you have a great makeup remover on hand to take it all off! And remember -- you don't need to swipe on layer after layer to get the desired effect. Celebrity makeup artist Tia Dantzler believes two coats of waterproof mascara is all you'll need for "staying power."

Celebrity makeup artist Tia Dantzler's 10-minute rainy day face consists of: well-groomed brows topped with a clear brow set; cream eyeshadow versus powder eyeshadow for long-lasting results; two coats of waterproof mascara for staying power; cream or mousse blush; light foundation application to even out the skin tone and powder to seal; and a dab of Johnson's Baby Powder on lips followed by matte lipstick.

"Waterproof mascara and eyeliner formulas that will resist the extreme weather conditions whether it's humid or rainy are a must," says Dantzler. "But one product I would highly suggest having on hand is Johnson's Baby Oil. Apply a small amount with a Q-tip to gently remove stubborn makeup."
Reduce Stress And Frizz(04 of09)

"Never try to straighten your hair on a humid or rainy day. Use a product such as Tame It Shine Lotion in your hair to control frizz and add shine," says Gibson. Photo: Hulton Archive

"If you ever get caught in a rainstorm, swipe a Hair Sheet through your hair for a simple refresh. Then go to the ladies bathroom, turn the nozzle on the hand dryer up and flip your hair over to dry. Run a Hair Sheet through again to calm any flyaways," Gibson explains. Photo: Hulton Archive

"Dreary weather can be maddening but don't let that get in the way of feeling great about your look," says Ted Gibson. "On humid, rainy days I would recommend a top knot, braid or try a side braided bun like the one I did for Ashley Greene." Photos: Getty Images

"Don't fight your natural texture. Whether you prefer your hair styled straight or curly, the rain and humidity will always bring you back to square one," says Kris Sorbie, Redken education artistic director. Photo: Jill Johnson/jpistudios.com
Moisture Is Actually A Good Thing(08 of09)

"Naturally curly and thick hair girls are lucky! All that's needed is a good moisture-adding product like Redken Curl Wise 14 to apply while your hair is still damp and you're ready to go," says Sorbie. Photo: FilmMagic

Sorbie adds, "If your hair goes flat in the rain, a great way to add body and texture is by using Redken Wax Blast 10. This aerosol wax product adds body and dimension with a satin-matte finish, leaving your hair thick and shiny." Photo: Getty Images
