The situation with waterproof mascara is that they can be a problem if in taking it off, you loose eye lashes. You want one that can be removed relatively easily and without any scrubbing or harsh tactics.

Some are industrial strength water proof and Max Factor makes a line of make up used in film so often it has harsh products but they stay on. Of all the companies, Max Factor has provided more stage make up and movie make up than all the others.

If you don't want to take the advice of anyone, try at Lancome, for example, to take a tester, or better yet, test it on your eyes, they will make it safe so far as bacteria. Any that you can test, step up and ask to test it. Wear it all day and give it a trial run. This prevents any buyers remorse!

Let me know what you end up using!
