Its almost embarassing to ask such a trivial question on this forum, but I cant think where else to ask it
What is the best waterproof mascara you can recommend that will survive a few hours on the water and lots of sunscreen without ending up looking like a panda?
Not that I use mascara to go kiting, but last year I ended up with the panda look after post-work sessions, having forgotten that I had put on (supposedly waterproof) mascara in the morning. Not a good look when chatting up that gorgeous new guy you met after your session, and not knowing about the panda eyes till you looked in the rear-view mirror driving home later.....
Nic
Trying to answer this sensibly for you.
You could suss out what the ladies doing water ballet use, they're allway's made up in the water, though i could only imagine they would need some grade A pain stripper to remove it after.
Not being a girl, goth, emo or trany I can't really offer any more advise than that
If a guy is going to judge you on your panda eyes.. he is not worth knowing
(Damn I am sweet)
If you can do a kiteloop, im pretty sure any guy would have you, even if you look like a pig.
Loreal Voluminous 4x waterproof with ceramid R!
I use it sometimes and I never had a problem with that....
You could try to negociate with Loreal maybe you get signed if you promote a mascara that even sticks to your lashes while kiting, could be a good commercial!
I will start the next chick question, see how many hot girls we have here without knowing about them.
i use maybelline great lash waterproof. works for me, just dont wipe ur eyes.
(its the one in the pink bottle with green lid)
As Vadar's girlfriend who is getting into kiteboarding, tip: eyelash tinting works a treat
lol... This thought has NEVER crossed my mind!!! Even though I've kited after work or a meeting more times than I can remember.
So either... my mascara doesn't run, or the guys don't mention it! haha Chees fellas 
I have always found just having long dark beautiful lashes naturally covers it pretty well.
Why worry,pandas are cute and cuddly.
Elizabethb,are you the girl I saw kiteing one arvo on the gold coast who looked like she had been beaten up, with the two black eyes
^^^^yeah,but damn their tasty,right up there with whale steaks and fluffy bunny rabbits
Is it freaken summer yet??????????????????
lotofwind.. Suuureeee was me!! I thought you would always remember my panda eyes! [}:)]
I know I'm going to cop it here haha...
Well thanks guys and gals for your constructive, or helpful, or humerous responses
Thank goodness the bum and boobs are not too bad, and that I have no nails to break, otherwise I might be even more paranoid about my panda eyes
While I havent yet had the balls try an airborne kiteloop, I regularly do looping carving turns, does that count?
And Milko, Idiot, and Tightlines- your'e all very sweet (I think
)
)
Or just do what I do: crash so much that any trace of wearing a mascara just disappears completely
That could be it, I'm just not trying hard enough.
I am determined to nail some backroll kiteloops this season, after figuring out how to use my new surf kiteboard (which I suspect will involve lots of being dumped and body dragging through breakers to get the board back), so any mascara run may well be gone by the end of my sessions!
Roll on summmer....
