Rainy Days Makeup? These Mascaras Are Built to Last

Is there anything more frustrating than stepping out with a full beat, only for the rain to mess it all up? The moment it starts pouring, your eyes are usually the first part of your makeup to fall apart. Sometimes, your makeup might even be waterproof — maybe you’ve sprayed on one of those long-lasting setting sprays that claim to hold everything in place — but once you’re caught in the rain, you start seeing two black streams running down your cheeks. That’s when you start blaming the spray, but really, the problem is your mascara.

This is where weatherproof mascaras come in. They’re built to hold up against sweat, humidity, and those surprise downpours that catch you off guard. The best part?
