Finding a mascara that beats the heat with minimum work can be daunting.

Yes, we know you fret sometimes about melting mascara, but  New York's The Cut gives us some worthwhile tips on picking a winner. 

When summertime summons you to the sea-caressed beaches, deep backyard pools or outdoors for a warm-weather wedding, avoiding a meltdown is possible despite the sun's killer defense.

You have to use waterproof formulas that hold up through the daily grind, and are easy to remove at nighttime. Some products will naturally fare better than others, but it's worth trying these tried and true picks. 

Smudges and raccoon eyes are not so cute, ever.

One of New York's beauty gurus recommends Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes! for $19 bucks at Tarte. The "quilted leather case" may feel "weird," but it works.

If you are looking to lengthen without thickening, try COVERGIRL Flamed Out Water Resistant Mascara for $7.49 at COVERGIRL.

MAC False Lashes Waterproof Mascara for $20 at MAC is also great. It goes a long way in providing that false-lashes effect. 

The best among the best are the $30 Chanel's Inimitable Waterproof formula at Chanel, Lancome Definicils for $27 at Lancome and Diorshow Iconic for $28.50 at Dior.

We will be trying all of these and share our findings later. Tell us what you love and will try below!
