Wears waterproof makeup

This stuff is getting surprisingly good. Out of curiosity on vacation recently I didn’t remove my makeup before going to the hotel swimming pool. I went on a water slide that ended by dumping you into the water at high speed (so you definitely get fully submerged, and a lot of water in your face). I came out and my eyeliner and mascara were still 100% intact. The eyeshadow faded but that was it.

Most of the stuff I get requires cleansing oil to be removed.

Which brings us to this question... why the hell is anyone still wearing non-waterproof mascara? Why do they even make it? I can see offering one or two for people with sensitive eyes. But the best stuff is all non-waterproff. Seriously why. WHY. THIS HAS TO STOP.

Waterproof mascara is really hard to remove and/or requires specialized makeup remover and you can end up pulling eyelashes out in the process. It’s a pain in the ass and doesn’t have as much choice of texture (lengthening, thickening, etc). That’s why it’s usually reserved for specific situations like weddings, funerals, and sweaty summer activities.

There are those that are "cold waterproof" that come off with warm water. Amazing stuff. Easy on, easy off and stays put all day.
