    They will get you through hell and high water!

    We asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us about their favorite waterproof makeup products. Here’s what they had to say:

    1. NYX Proof It Eyeshadow Primer will endure rain and tears.

    "It makes anything on top completely waterproof and keeps eyeshadow from creasing. I cry all the time and it rains everyday where I live, but if I use this, I don't have to worry about smearing. I've also used it as a lip primer on desperate occasions and it works well. It's way cheaper than other eye primers." —havanar0se

    Get it from Ulta for $6.

    2. If you want to avoid having your makeup melt off your face, spritz Urban Decay's De-Slick Oil-Control Setting Spray for protection.

    3. You can take a pie to the face and your liner will still look flawless if you use Kat Von D's Tattoo Liner.

    "This liner is AMAZING! I got pied in the face as part of a charity event and even after wiping the pie off my face IT WAS STILL PERFECT! You the real MVP, KDV." —melrodriguez90

    5. Or if you're looking for a Better Than Sex mascara dupe, you should give L'Oreal Lash Paradise Waterproof Mascara a try.

    "It's a dupe for the Better Than Sex mascara. It stays on even when I'm super sweaty, and I actually like it better than its higher end counterpart. It gives me really good length and volume, so my lashes look great." —mollypi

    Get it from Ulta for $9.99.

    6. Beauty Bakerie Lip Whips will get your through anything with no need to reapply.
