If you have stick-straight lashes, you should know that waterproof mascara can help them maintain a curl. Plus, formulas like this one from Chanel stay in place all day, rain or shine. “This is a staple in my kit. The wand is made of silicone and tapers, making it easy to coat each lash from root to tip. Due to its strong staying power, it is my go-to mascara for award shows and weddings,” says Lee.

A Nordstrom reviewer says: “Every once in a while, I try a drugstore brand that gets good reviews, only to be disappointed and come back to this one. It is waterproof. I can cry or get caught in the rain and it stays on. But it comes off easily with my eye makeup remover. Drugstore brands tend to stay on too well, making removal time-consuming and difficult. Also, it simply doesn’t clump! I can just brush it through my lashes in the morning, and I don’t even need to de-clump with another brush, because there are no clumps! Drugstore brands take longer to apply, as I have to wipe down the brush initially, and they still need a clean brush for de-clumping. Plus, the Chanel is buildable; if I go out later and want a more dramatic look, I can add another layer of mascara. Again, without clumping. I can get a natural look or a dramatic look with this one.”
