Tried and tested: Waterproof mascara's

Too Faced ‘Better Than Sex’ Waterproof Mascara, €22 

www.twofaced.com

“I’ve tried a lot of waterproof mascaras in my time, and one thing I’ve learnt is that to get the smudge-freeness, you lose a little in the volumising and lengthening stakes.

"This baby has proved me wrong, however — just one coat delivers thick, curved lashes of dreams. This is as good as it gets.”

5/5

Givenchy Noir Couture Waterproof Mascara Black Velvet, €33.50

www.debenhams.ie

“It’s hard not to lay it on thick with this statement-making mascara, which, once applied, refuses to budge.

"Able to survive outbreaks of sweat and summer rain, it certainly lives up to its waterproof claims — and even a swim in the sea won’t result in panda eyes. But the formula is very thick, so apply sparingly.”

4/5

Bourjois Volume Reveal Waterproof Mascara Black, €13.99

www.boots.ie

“Perfect for the everyday, this skinny-combed mascara catches lashes and leaves them clump-free and volumised.

"Living up to its waterproof tag (without proving hard to remove) too, it’s a worthy investment — especially considering it comes with a built-in, magnified mirror.”
