Everyone who knows makeup knows how important mascara is to a look. We also know how important it is to keep that mascara from flaking and running all over your face during the day. It’s definitely one of my favorite products. On busy mom days, just pop a little mascara on and run out the door? Yes, please! Not only is it good to make you feel a little more put together during a busier day, it also just completes your whole makeup look. I also love finding great deals! That’s why I love looking in the drugstore for the best waterproof mascara.
There are definitely times a non-waterproof mascara comes in handy, but ultimately, I want my mascara to last all day. No smudges, no raccoon eyes, and no worries if you come across a situation that leaves you teary-eyed (it’s just allergies, ya’ll!). Even better when that mascara comes at an affordable price. Today, we’re going to go over the best drugstore waterproof mascara that money can buy.
1. L’Oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise Waterproof Mascara

I seriously adore this mascara. It does such a beautiful job of lengthening and volumizing my lashes. It’s one I’ve gone back for over and over and over again. No wonder it’s such a good mascara, it’s a fabulous dupe for Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara, but at a fraction of the cost! Now, I have had this one melt on my lower lash line before, so I skip using this one there and just stick to the upper lashes, where this mascara really shines!
2. CoverGirl Lash Blast Volume

Does anyone else remember this being alllllll over YouTube? No? Just me? This is an oldie, but a goodie and one that I’ve personally been using for years. This mascara will keep you smudge-free all day. It also does a fabulous job at volumizing and doesn’t clump your lashes together at all. Horray for no spider lashes!
3. Maybelline Total Tempation Waterproof Mascara

Another all-time (although newer) favorite of mine. I found this one recently and have come back to a few times, just because I love the length it gives! It holds its own on volume as well, but the length is where this truly shines! Another pleasant surprise (or unpleasant if you have sensitive eyes) is this one has a really delicious coconut scent to it. I really enjoy the scent, but can see how it could be a nuisance to those with sensitivities. The scent comes from the coconut oil, so this mascara not only brings dramatic lashes but also helps condition them.
4. Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Waterproof Mascara

Love false lashes, but don’t want to wear them every day? This mascara will do the trick! It gives the falsie impression without false lashes by separating each lash and coating them to make them look longer and fuller. Not only does this mascara perform beautifully, but it’s also only $5! What a steal! As one of Amazon’s best-selling mascaras, it’s hard not to take the leap on this one.
5. L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Waterproof Mascara

This one has had a cult following for years. It’s been one of the most suggested mascaras and one that I’ve personally been using for about 10 years. It is one of the blackest mascaras you’ll find and doesn’t flake or smudge under the eyes. Its also super affordable at just over $5 on Amazon. You’ll achieve voluminous lashes without the dreaded raccoon eye look.
6. L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Butterfly Waterproof Mascara

I really adore this mascara. It offers something that none of the others really do and that is: lash separation. Because of the brush, it does a great job of grabbing every single lash and coating it. Because of the brush, I feel like I get really long lashes and it looks like I have TON of them. I don’t feel like this coats them so much that they each look super thick, but it does look like I have a lot of really long lashes and I just adore the look! This is definitely one to try out if you haven’t yet.
That’s it for my best drugstore waterproof mascara! I love all of these for different reasons, but each will help you achieve the smudge-proof look for every day! Need some ideas on the Best Drugstore Foundations? Click the link to learn more about my top 5 favorites!
