Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Waterproof
The waterproof version of the favourite, picked as best budget waterproof by The Independent and the best waterproof option in several other guides.
Pros

- Good value for a waterproof formula
- Easy to find in-store
Cons
- Needs an oil-based or micellar remover
- Small tube
Who it suits
People who like the Sky High brush but need a mascara that survives rain, humid days, gyms or a cry. The Independent picks it as its best budget waterproof.
Who should skip it
Anyone with very sensitive eyes or dry lids. Waterproof formulas are harder to remove and can feel drier; if your eyes complain, use the regular or a tubing formula instead.
Good to know
Waterproof mascaras are built from waxes and film-formers that resist water and sweat, so they need an oil-based or dedicated eye make-up remover. Do not tug it off with a dry wipe. If you do not need waterproof every day, many people alternate it with the regular Sky High and keep this for events.
How it compares
- Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High: the everyday, easier-to-remove version
- No7 Intense Volume Waterproof: another affordable waterproof with a volume focus
- Benefit Badgal Bang Waterproof: a premium waterproof with more volume
