Smudged eye makeup is one of the most embarrassing beauty blunders to deal with, and whether you’re planning on watching a tear-jerker, attending an all-day music festival or are heading to a sweaty Soul Cycle session, opting for a quality waterproof mascara is your best bet when it comes to avoiding the dreaded raccoon eye look. I personally wear a waterproof formula every day—regardless of whether or not I foresee water, swear, raindrops or runny eyes on the horizon for that day. Frankly, I find that they not only don’t end up under your eyes after a couple of hours, but they also tend to have a drier consistency which allows me to define, lengthen and sculpt my lashes without them becoming clumpy, spidery or overly separated.

In other words, waterproof mascaras tend to be more forgiving if you’re like me and love to apply layer upon layer to refine and customize your lash look (I call this the architecture lash method, by the way). Regardless of how much mascara you like to apply, waterproof formulas are essential to at least, have at your disposal when you know you’ll be in contact with moisture, tears or excess sweat—regardless of whether you choose to wear it every day or for those special occasions (or you know, a rainy day).

Makeup always comes out looking its best when applied in natural light, but sadly, many of us aren’t blessed with that kind of set-up in our home and bathrooms, oftentimes leaving us looking like an entirely different person when we step foot outside. The foundation that appeared to be the perfect shade match under your fluorescent-lit powder room may look straight-up orange when you step foot outdoors, or your “subtle” highlight look may curiously transform into disco-ready sparkles once the sun hits your face. Sure, you could drag your makeup collection to your outside patio or sit in the car just to try to get an accurate sense of lighting, but these options aren’t really practical for every day.

Fortunately, there are many more convenient alternatives to help you out on this front. Lighted makeup mirrors (especially devices designed with smart functionality settings and Bluetooth compatibility) are the next best bet to applying your makeup outside. These lighted vanity accessories help you re-create natural light, and offer you a slew of different temperatures, brightness levels, and other adjustable functions to help you apply your makeup flawlessly in the comfort of your own home. Ahead, check out some of our favorite options to try out for yourself.
