waterproof makeup

Cry-proof face paint

Waterproof makeup is cosmetics formulated to resist water, sweat, and humidity without smearing or washing off.

Mascara and eyeliner are the most common waterproof products, designed to survive swimming, rain, or tears: I wore waterproof mascara to the wedding.

The tradeoff is that removal typically requires an oil-based cleanser rather than just soap and water.
