A water-resistant mascara that lengthens lashes and stays put
Mavala Waterproof Mascara is a water-resistant mascara for anyone who wants longer, thicker-looking lashes that hold up to rain, tears and humid days. Its formula is enriched with silk powder, which coats and conditions the lashes as the colour goes on. It dries quickly and does not run, and a curved professional brush makes it easy to reach the inner and outer corners of the eye. It comes in four shades: Black, Plum, Glacier Blue and Midnight Blue.
The texture
A smooth, waxy formula that coats each lash evenly and sets fast. Build it up in two coats for more length and volume. Once dry it resists water and does not smudge.
Who it suits
- Swimming, sport and summer days
- Watery eyes or emotional occasions
- Short lashes that need more length
- Anyone who wants a coloured lash, not only black
Worth knowing before you buy: Being waterproof, it needs an eye makeup remover made for waterproof formulas, such as a biphase remover; soap and water will not take it off. The formula contains parabens.
How long one tube lasts
Makeup artists advise replacing a mascara about three months after opening, and the 10ml tube comfortably covers daily use for that time.
