Do you want your favourite mascara to be smudge-free and hold curls all day? If you find your mascara is smudging or your lashes going downwards especially in hot and humid weather, I’d highly recommend you to try using a mascara top coat.
Mascara top coat is a makeup product that you apply over mascara to make it last longer and maximize the results. With just one coat, mascara top coat transforms mascaras to be waterproof and smudge-proof and helps to hold beautiful curls for hours.
Here are my picks of the best Japanese waterproofing mascara top coats to achieve smudge-free eyelashes with a long-lasting curl.

Mascara topcoat enhances the effects of mascara and locks in the perfect look of eyelashes for hours, therefore, you may sometimes find it hard to remove by regular soap or face wash. For gentle cleanse without putting burden on your skin or lashes, I’d highly recommend to use special makeup removers to cleanse waterproof and stubborn makeup.
