We’ve put a selection of mascaras to the test to see how they fare when faced with the elements of steamy swimming pools and sweaty gyms. Read on to see which one got the ‘Sportsister Loves’ seal of approval.
1. Beauty UK Waterproof Lash FX Mascara £1.99 (8ml)
If you’re looking for an easy to apply, no mess, no fuss mascara then this should do the trick.
After trying it out our lashes were coated evenly with no clumps or smudges. Perfect to slick on before a quick run, with the waterproof protection holding up against sweat, tears and humidity.
2. Clinique Lash Power Mascara £14.50 (6g)
Initially developed for the humid Asian environments, this super long-wearing formula will not smudge ensuring that your mascara stays where it belongs – on your lashes, not your face.
Its unique formula uses advanced thermal sensitive technology to resist rain, pool water, tears, sweat, sebum and, of course, humidity. We love that it can be removed with warm water and not just eye make up remover.

3. Collection 2000 Volume Sensation XXL Mascara £4.99 (9ml)
Coming in three shades, Black, Ultra Black and the latest being Waterproof, this mascara is great for lashes with attitude.
The lightweight formula thickens and separates lashes easily without the gloopy spider-leg effect. The super-sized brush coats each lash for a plumped up, volumised look.

4. FACE Stockholm Volumizing Waterproof Mascara £21.00 (6g)
If you’re after a natural looking mascara that still manages to feel rich and luxurious, then this is the one for you.
It glides on effortlessly, separates the lashes and makes eyes look bright and full. It stays put when faced with the elements meaning you can wear it in the pool or whilst training in the rain but comes off easily at the end of the day with make up remover.
A great all rounder that is both practical and fancy all in one!
5. 2true Instant Waterproof Mascara £1.99 (7ml)
Dubbed MAC on a budget 2true cosmetics are a top choice for bargain hunters. This mascara is smudge proof and long lasting making it ideal for wearing whilst exercising. But crucially it also comes off easily with eye make up remover unlike some stay-put mascaras.
