With December just around the corner, typically we’d be sharing our favourite summer beauty hacks. The best SPF-friendly foundations, hydrating moisturisers that won’t make you shiny, waterproof mascaras to wear to the beach, etc. But today, as we ride the soggy tail end of yesterday’s storm, we’re talking waterproof mascaras for a very different reason: to withstand the rain.

These five waterproof formulations deliver the same lash drama – rain, hail or shine.

Clinique High Impact Extreme Waterproof Mascara
Clinique’s waterproof version of their cult High Impact Mascara is just as good – and impactful. This larger-than-life, flake-free formula provides instant volume and length, plus is safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.
