Why Selecting the Right Waterproof Wedding Mascara and Eyeliner Is Crucial

Why Selecting the Right Waterproof Wedding Mascara and Eyeliner Is Crucial

Even if you aren’t prone to crying at weddings, there will be someone who will start sniffling, your eyes will meet, and the realization that this is one of the most important days in your life will suddenly hit home.  And yes, you will cry.

Your choice of wedding mascara and eyeliner can mean the difference between looking stunning all day or looking like a raccoon before you’ve even walked down the aisle.  If you cry all the time, perhaps you already have a great waterproof mascara and eyeliner in your bag that you use daily.

But if that isn’t you, and you haven’t tested your wedding mascara with a crying session, you might want to start now. Not the crying part – just the waterproof part. There are a lot of things that can add stress to your event, but some have more obvious consequences than others.

5 Reasons You Need the Right Wedding Mascara and Eyeliner:

1. Crying: As already noted, you don’t want to end up looking like a raccoon or have black lines running down your face if and when you cry.
2. Perspiring: In addition to tears, it will be a stressful day and you will perspire some, even if it is cold outside.
3. Fading: Not all waterproof eyeliners are created equally.  You want to be sure the one you have selected has staying power and doesn’t start to fade away the second your eyes become a little wet.
4. Smudging: While eyeliners can get messy, your wedding mascara is the one that has the most smudging and smearing potential, meaning that it has the potential for really making a mess if it isn’t waterproof.
5. Reapplying: Won’t happen.  You are not going to have time to run off and clean up, except maybe for the professional photos – if you’re lucky.  So, you need to get it right the first time.

There are a lot of waterproof eyeliners and mascaras on the market, but which of them really bring it?  Which of those will hold on through the tears, the perspiration, and the long hours required of them on your wedding day?  Make sure you choose the one that has what it takes.
