Mascara is an essential item for daily makeup, but do you use the same product through the year?? Here in Japan, the weather in summer and winter is completely different, and many people switch their makeup items according to seasons. Japanese summer is hot and humid, so sweat-proof and long-lasting are key features for makeup products during the season. Not only for summer, but waterproof mascara is an amazing cosmetics product for swimming, playing sports or at the gym if you want to keep your flawless during activities!

These waterproof mascaras offer a great longevity and smudge-proof, however, some of products might be hard to take off by regular makeup removers or face wash. So I’d also recommend you to use good makeup removers that can remove stubborn waterproof makeup effortlessly without tugging eyelashes or rubbing off around eyes.
