When it’s hot outside and you’re rushing around to get out the door, it’s easy to just leave eyeliner out of the equation. Old-school formulas can transfer from your lash line to your crease or melt halfway down your face come 3:00 P.M. And most applicators make it hard to get your cat-eye flicks to match. Because we’re sick of liners that don’t meet our very high standards, we decided to gather up our favorite picks that won’t smudge, flake, or melt off your face when the temperature gets above 70. Plus, they make achieving your cat-eye goals more than possible. From budge-proof pencils to dependable liquid liners, we pulled a little something for everyone. Ahead, find the best waterproof eyeliners to stock up on for summer 2019.

Not all raincoats have to be long—or even raincoats at all. A cropped, embellished jacket takes an all-black outfit and zhooshes it up to the next level. (Just remember an umbrella—we love a clear bubble one to keep your outfit on display.)

Just because you’re working with neutrals doesn’t mean you have to keep them in the same family: Mix bluesy grays with layers of warm browns for an upgrade on the basics (and add a puffer on top for an extra layer of coziness).

Ask any woman the three products she’d grab if her house were on fire, and mascara would most likely top the list. There are few things that deliver such instant satisfaction as longer, darker lashes. Finding the best mascara is easier said than done, though, especially where waterproof formulas are concerned. By nature, tough-acting, melt-proof options tend to be drier, clump faster, and leave your lashes feeling brittle and hard. Or they’re just a real PITA to take off at the end of the day.
Truth be told, even after years in the beauty industry I still haven’t landed on the one that I can’t live without—and with a looming vacation to Hawaii approaching, I needed to some opinions to chose from stat. Thankfully, I work with women who have some real feelings about waterproof mascara and they were willing to share. Here are the formulas that withstand 90-degree heat, Nicholas Sparks movies, Queer Eye marathons, and—yes—even breakups.
