Best waterproof mascaras for 2020 that really work

Whether you're headed to a pool - or just headed to Poole - you'll want to invest in a decent waterproof mascara to avoid ugly panda eyes.

Luckily, leading beauty brands like Glossier, Benefit and Maybelline have come up trumps, wheeling out some of the best smudge-proof mascaras to keep your eye make up looking pristine.

If it's a winning waterproof mascara that you're looking for, you'll want to read on because we have put the best to the test and come up with this impressive line up that deserve pride of place in your make up bag this year.

1. Glossier Lash Slick

New on the scene from trendy US cosmetics brand, this mascara helps sculpt perfect lashes whilst polymers help lift and keep fibres in place.

Buy it now from Glossier.com, £14

2. Too Faced Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara

A cult favourite - and for good reason. The peptide-enriched formula helps to thicken, lengthen and curl lashes in one coating. The application of the inky black formula is helped by a uniquely curved brush to catch every single lash.

Buy it now from Cult Beauty, £12

3. Urban Decay Perversion Waterproof Mascara

This conditioning mascara has a lifting and volumising effect on lashes. The creamy texture helps to coat all your lashes for a full and lengthening finish.

Buy it now from Cult Beauty, £21

4. Maybelline Lash Sensational Volumising Waterproof Mascara

This mascara has a layered brush with six lengths of bristles to help capture the tiniest of lashes. The waterproof formula adds an intense blackness, giving your lash hairs volume and definition.

Buy it now from Amazon, £4.73

5. Eyeko Beach Waterproof Mascara

This cruelty-free mascara is lengthening and conditioning, containing coconut oil, sunscreen and waterproof pigments.

Our verdict: ‘Has sunscreen in – frankly ridiculous. But it’s also sunscreen-proof and waterproof and builds up pretty well. Great for volume, especially if you curl your lashes first.’

Buy now from Beauty Bay, £19

6. Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof

An all-time classic mascara. The formula glides onto lashes and doesn't clump or flake, meaning you get fuller looking lashes all day.

Buy it now from Amazon, £6.87

7. Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes Waterproof Mascara

The cone shaped applicator brush is supposed to hold exactly the right amount of product you need to give lashes the perfect volume and lift.

Buy it now from Boots, £27
