2) Mesmer-Eyes Waterproof Mascara
Nothing is worse than racoon eyes at a festival due to the high temperatures and melting makeup. Waterproof products are essential, so be sure to grab my Mesmer-Eyes Waterproof Mascara. Its long-lasting formula will stay put all day and night. Even give yourself a waterproof smoky eye by smudging the product over the lash line with your fingertips!
