Summer is a bit like the season in which either mascara is banned because it tends to run on the face, or replaced by a waterproof formula that resists despite water, sweat, unwanted scratches and the vagaries of life. Basically, it’s a bit of a lifesaver for the summer season! And if all brands offer their own formula, well… not all are the same.
