What the gurus are saying

This mascara holds a curl reliably and stays put on the lower lash line without smudging, even when concealer or other makeup touches it during application. The formula does require a light hand on the brush, though; applying too much product while it's still wet can weigh down the curl, so wiping off excess before use helps. Many who love it pair it with a second, non-waterproof mascara for fuller coverage.

"My favorite is L'Oreal waterproof mascaras, carbon black and the telescopic waterproof have never failed me ever. I go through tubes upon tubes of them. I do [...] one coat of waterproof to hold the curl. If you apply too much mascara though and it's really wet, the curl will drop, so you do have to really wipe it off. I let that dry [...] and then I'll follow with a stage two mascara, which is usually a non-Waterproof Mascara."

"For a bottom mascara I like to do a little bit of a brown mascara. This one's from L'Oreal, it's a Waterproof Mascara, crucial if you're going to apply mascara on the bottom lash line. Don't put a regular formula on a special occasion. It's a really dark rich brown. Throughout the makeup application it's easy to get a little bit of makeup underneath the lashes because we look down and concealer hits it and they end up looking kind of dusty. This is a great way to kind of revamp them, bring them back to life, darken them a touch too."
