Benefit Badgal BANG Volumizing Waterproof Mascara

The budge-proof just got even more budge-proof. Now, we’ve long been massive fans of Badgal BANG mascara – often scooped up at Duty Free en route for a holiday, when we need something that will stay put on lashes through sweat, humidity and swimming, without so much as a fleck flaking off. ‘Cos it really does.

But you know what? Now we know it’s possible to improve on perfection, because this specifically waterproof version stays put even better, for even longer. (We are NOT the type to party all night or stay up watching the Ibizan sunset, but if we were, this is the man for the lash job.) And it’s notable, not least because quite a few brands have withdrawn their waterproof offerings, in recent years.

It’s not just the formula of Badgal BANG Waterproof that we love, though. It’s that long, slim, flexible tapered wand that makes it easy to access and grip every last lashlet, coating it with the inky black formula (Benefit call it a ‘slimpact’ wand, which we rather like.) If you’ve sparse or short lashes, it’s especially impressive.

We’re predicting it makes quite a splash…
