Which mascara stays put on sweaty summer days?

waterproof mascaras work way better for me in summer, especially the ones from Essence or Catrice - they're cheap and actually hold up when you sweat. the important thing is to wait a few seconds after applying before the mascara is completely dry, otherwise it'll smudge anyway. some people also use an extra primer under the mascara, that helps too.

but honestly, the absolute game-changer is applying the mascara from bottom to top and holding the brush a bit longer at the roots - that basically seals the lashes better. and real talk, if you sweat a lot, an eye setting spray might be worth it so everything lasts longer. long-wearing formulas are always labeled with "24h waterproof" or "sweat resistant," so look for that when you're buying.
