Waterproof Mascara Test No. 2: Hour-Long Hike in 72-Degree Weather
The mascara: Dior Black Out Waterproof
This mascara stays on really well -- no flaking, running or general undereye smeariness. My only complaint is the wand. Because the bristles are long and thick, I found it almost impossible to avoid getting mascara on my lids during application, which means I'm wetting a Q-tip and attempting to wipe it off without causing my lashes to clump together -- a near-impossible feat. I also found that volume and curliness I first experienced was sacrificed after a couple hours hiking. Though the formula is OK -- I have faith it could withstand a sad-movie-induced ugly cry without producing raccoon eyes -- I can't use it because the application is too messy and the volume doesn't last, at least during sweaty activities. --Emily Woodruff
