6 Waterproof Mascaras to Take to the Beach This Summer appeared first on OLENA.
Your beach beauty routine may consist of a few coats of mascara and a little SPF-enhanced lip balm, but it goes all wrong when your chose mascara that smears down your face– especially when combined with water, sweat, or that random five-minute rain shower.
The solution is finding a waterproof product. It might not be your thing, but it’ll come in handy when faced with a dare of a beach or pool day.
L’Oreal really hit it out of the park with their Voluminous Butterfly mascara — one that features an asymmetrical brush where longer bristles grab hold of the lashes on the outer corners of your eyes. It’s been a hit since its release– and it’s available in a waterproof formula.

If You Want a Great Brush
Mascara brands know you don’t want to drop your favorite brand for reasons like tearing up in a Nicholas Sparks film. When Maybelline launched this super cool mascara formula– featuring a brush with layers of various sized bristles to catch all of your lashes, which apparently grow in layers– they did so with a waterproof version that’ll keep the stuff on your eyelashes and not running down your cheeks.

If You Want a Natural Look
It always seems like mascara (even if it’s perfectly placed without a flaw in sight) clumps up the minute it’s surrounded by water or sweat. Spidery lashes are just as bad as the formula making its way down your face, so you’ll want to find a product that applies without clumps and keeps your lashes that way when they’re wet.
CoverGirl’s Clump Crusher does exactly that, giving you voluminous lashes that all have their own personal space.

Falsies don’t fly when it comes to water– most of the time, anyway– so you’re just going to have to fake it with mascara. This Maybelline mascara is really cool because not only does it address your upper lashes, making them full and voluminous like they’re faux, but it has a brush on the other end specifically designed for your lower lashes.
