I love Brides Magazine it is a great budget wedding magazine that you can get for cheap when you order a subscription (or spend a fortune buying each issue)! They always have great tips and this month they staff-tested waterproof mascaras. Waterproof mascara is a must for your wedding. Even if you do not think you will cry, play it safe and use a waterproof mascara. These are the best waterproof mascaras according to Brides Magazine:
- Best Waterproof Mascara (Drugstore Buy) – Maybelline New York The Falsies by Volum’ Express $7.77
This waterproof mascara is the cheapest of the group. You can even pick it up online for less than $5 (or maybe even free if you use free amazon gift cards to pay for it). If you are looking for the best budget mascara then give it a shot! If you want to splurge a little (wedding makeup is important since it will show up in all your pictures) then try one of the other options.
- Best Waterproof Mascara (Application)- Urban Decay Cannonball Ultra Waterproof Mascara $20
If you are worried about applying your own mascara then try Urban Decay. The description looks great! Unfortunately I couldn’t find it for less than $20 online, but it might be $20 well spent.
- Best Waterproof Mascara (Overall) – Lancome L’Extreme Waterproof Instant Extensions Lengthening Mascara $25
Long name, but great reviews! If you are comfortable putting your own mascara on then I think the $5 difference between this one and the best application mascara is a good upgrade. Unfortunately the link takes you to a page where it is on sale for more than $25 (currently at least), but at least you can read the description.
- Best Waterproof Mascara (Splurge) - YSL Singulier Nuit Blanche Exaggerated Lashes Waterproof Mascara $30
The reviewers said that this waterproof mascara curled, lengthened, separated, and volumized, all without clumping. For $5 more it isn’t a huge splurge compared to the best overall. It is a splurge compared to the drugstore mascara, however, so you decide!
There are four great best waterproof mascara options with prices ranging from $8 (less than $5 online) to $30.

I would have to agree with you about the water proof mascara, it is very affordable as you have said and you can get it from Amazon.
Thanks for the heads up about the Brides Magazine subscription and the savings.
Great post and nice site.
