Weddings are beautiful, emotional events. You know what tends to happen at beautiful, emotional events? Tears.
Every bride wants to look beautiful on her big day – and while we are all about natural beauty, your wedding is one for a dramatic makeup look. Even if you wear false eyelashes to your wedding (which we totally recommend!), you’ll want to use mascara to bind the falsies to your real lashes. That’s where waterproof mascara comes into play. Choose the right one and your makeup will not budge. We love these seven picks.
1. CoverGirl’s LashBlast Waterproof: This affordable find is a cult classic for good reason. It will give you full, long, dark lashes and I promise you this: It will not run no matter how much you cry! Buy it here.
2. Eyeko Sport Waterproof Mascara: You know a mascara can withstand some moisture when it’s built to last through a sweaty workout! This one doesn’t have the fanciest packaging but it really delivers when it comes to defining your lashes and staying put all night. Buy it here.

3. Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Waterproof Mascara: It’s a pricey pick but a great one. This Armani mascara will give any bride a gorgeously lush fringe of lashes. This elegant formula thickens, lengthens and curls all at once. Buy it here.
4. Urban Decay Cannonball Ultra Waterproof Mascara: It’s not just waterproof – it’s ultra waterproof. This mascara comes from the brand known for its bold approach to makeup, so you know it’s not for the faint of heart. This product will give you beautifully bold lashes, no raccoon eyes in sight. Buy it here.
5. Bobbi Brown No Smudge Mascara: A lot of mascaras are wonderful and generally resilient against water – but even certain formulas that fit this description can have one common problem: They flake and smudge. Even if your mascara doesn’t run down your face, if it doesn’t have a solid formula, you may find you’re left with black smudges around your face. This mascara will not give you that effect at all – true to its name, it’s totally smudge-proof. Buy it here.

6. BUXOM Lash Waterproof Mascara: If your lashes tend to be long yet sparse, this is the perfect pick for you. The mascara will volumize your lashes like no other, leaving a thick, full fringe that won’t budge through your tears. Buy it here.
7. Clinique Lash Power Mascara Long-Wearing Formula:
Are you generally a makeup minimalist? If so, consider this mascara. It will give you defined lashes that aren’t at all over the top – and of course, it lasts beautifully all night long. Buy it here.
