L’Oréal Paris Paradise (Waterproof Black), Intense Volume, Castor Oil-Enriched, Suitable for Sensitive Eyes, Soft Mascara Brush Included

Product Information

Pro tip: We still suggest an eyelash curler if your lashes are particularly straight. This mascara will curl slightly without a curler, but if you want the full effect, use a curler beforehand.) With this design, the product is able to capture each lash and spread more evenly, resulting in greater volume and a more defined curl. If intensity is what you’re looking for, as well as something that keeps that curl, this is the way to go. We suggest dabbing it on a tissue before applying a second coat, as that will give you the smoothest effect. A 24-hour wear-time coincides with a sweat-proof, smudge-proof formula, which means no flaking as well. Maybelline’s Falsies line is also a cult classic, but it’s had a few upgrades since the original you might remember. This version is the Falsies Lash Lift Waterproof Mascara, which is designed to volumize, lengthen, and curl – it’s the curling part that’s impressed us the most, and what makes it a standout on our list. The brush is double-curved and shaped like an hourglass, meaning it hugs the lashes in such a way that enhances the curl.

If there's one thing that Lash Paradise has taught us, it's that a weightier price tag doesn't necessarily mean a superior product. The well-thought-out formula is everything you might want from a mascara, with the added bonus of caring for your lashes while they look worthy of a L’Oréal advert.So it’s clear that you’re choosing a waterproof formula, but there are other things to consider before making that final decision. Do you have particularly sensitive eyes? Go for something with a conditioning formula, like the IT Cosmetics Tightline and Maybelline Sky High products. Look out for formulas infused with rose hip oil, jojoba, biotin, collagen, aloe, and chamomile, amino acids, acai, etc.

We love how easy it is to add definition to the lower lashes using the smaller bristles at the tip of the brush, as they avoid too much product being brushed on. Another unique feature is the rose hip oil infusion, which softens and moisturizes your lashes for longer wear – something you don’t always find in waterproof versions.

Create you perfect eye makeup look with our collection of Voluminous mascaras, achieve sleek lines with smudge proof eyeliner, define your brows and discover eye shadow palettes with shades made for every eye color If you love a good ol’ 2-in-1, then Sky-High from Maybelline is for you. While the name implies a focus on just lengthening (“sky high” as in your lashes will reach sky-high), we were pleasantly surprised by the fact that it offers both length and volume. And while it does offer both like Maybelline Lash Sensational, it offers even more length thanks to its gripping design. This is mainly thanks to the shape of the brush, which is wider at the base than at the top.

Mascara is important to me. I love looking like I have long and voluminous eyelashes. I am a daily makeup-wearer but tend to skip a few days of wearing mascara, just because sometimes I don’t feel like removing it. I usually wear mascara three to five times per week, so it’s an absolute must-have product in my makeup arsenal. The best waterproof mascaras prove reliable in the best and worst of times, preventing smudging and running onto the rest of your face. Much like waterproof eyeliners, mascaras with waterproof formulas will give you the confidence of all-day wear, especially when you’re met with watery eyes (whether that’s allergies, crying, etc.).Water, Paraffin,Potassium Cetyl Phosphate,Copernicia Cerifera Cera/Carnauba Wax/Cire De Carnauba, Ethylene/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Styrene/Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate Copolymer,Cera Alba/Beeswax/Cire Dabeille, Synthetic Beeswax Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2 Polybutene Cetyl Alcohol, Steareth-20 Glyceryl Dibehenate Steareth-2, Phenoxyethanol Hydroxyethylcellulose, Acacia Senegal Gum Tribehenin Caprylyl Glycol, Glyceryl Behenate Sodium Dehydroacetate, Hydrogenated Palm Oil Disodium Edta Butylene, Glycol Rosa Canina Fruit Oil Sodium Laureth Sulfate Silica, Tetrasodium Edta Ricinus, Maltodextrin Potassium Sorbate Bht Propylene Glycol Centaurea Cyanus Flower Extract Propyl, Gallate Citric Acid [+/- May Contain / Peut Contenir Ci 77491, Ci 77492, Ci 77499/Iron Oxides Ci 77007/Ultramarines] Fil Code T279681/1 It’s as simple as this: Diorshow Iconic Waterproof Mascara from Dior does not budge. It’s really the hardest-wearing mascara we’ve tried from this list. Now don’t get us wrong – each product we’ve chosen has great staying power (they are waterproof, after all), but if you’re looking for extreme wear at a high-end price, this is a solid choice. It’s created with an Oblique style brush, which has silicone bristles that are designed to curl as well as volumize. Products like the L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise, Maybelline Lash Sensational, and Maybelline The Falsies Lash Lift, have curves in their brushes. This curve is designed to curl and lift the lashes for a more dramatic look – ideal for those who have naturally straight lashes and need that enhanced curling effect. Something else you might not notice at first is that this is a 3-in-1 mascara – it can act as your lash primer, eyeliner and mascara all in one step, and can also last for up to 12 hours of wear. Another distinctive feature about Tightline is its ingredient list, which includes an infusion of collagen, biotin, jojoba, chamomile, aloe and more. These are all conditioning ingredients, which means that lashes are kept healthy in the process. We found that the overall end result is somewhat similar to Clinique’s High Impact Waterproof Mascara, but it has more staying-power than Clinique’s. A Lift Model Extreme complex is incorporated into this mascara, which is based on the composition of hairspray, and in partnership with the waterproof formula, is the secret ingredient that makes it so long-wearing.
