The 5 best waterproof make-up products

Whether it's thanks to hay fever or the joy of seeing beloved friends tie the knot, this time of year tends to be a tearjerker, which means that when I wear mascara it must be waterproof. And it's not just eye make-up that needs staying power in the summer months – sweat, swimming and sudden showers can all conspire to wash away cosmetics.

Luckily, weatherproofing isn't just for sheds, and many items in your make-up bag now come with added staying power, without the pore-clogging, grease-paint like qualities of yore. That's handy, come rain or shine.

All this brand's make-up is waterproof, but this seriously won't budge. The plump, curved brush really boosts volume too.
