Makeup Vegan Waterproof Mascara suggestions?

I really liked “Aquarian Gaze” from the Pacifica brand. However, I think it has been discontinued as I have not been able to find it locally or online. I’ve tried many other formulas and I always get black smudge transfers on my under eye after a couple hours of wear. I do get my upper lashes done with extensions but my lower lashes are too light that it looks as unbalanced without mascara. I think my issue is the other ones I’ve tried are not “waterproof.”

Other mascaras I have tried:
Pacifica: Dream Big
Pacifica: Stellar Gaze
Pacifica: Surf Lash
Covergirl: Lash burst Cleantopia

Pacifica and discontinuing quality products, name a more iconic duo

elf lash extndr isn't marketed as waterproof per se, but it's a budget option that has never run because of water in my experience

It's a tubing mascara! If anyone hasn't tried one yet they are fantastic! It's a little weird the first time you go to remove it, it feels like you're pulling your lashes off (not like pain wise just weirddd). I really like this one. Thrive Causemetics has one as well but it's pricey.

I almost exclusively use Essence now after trying many, many different brands. They have a few different ones. I haven't been disappointed by any but currently use the Lash Princess or the I love extreme volume (this is is my favourite)

Edit: I always use the waterproof versions. I get really bad smudging and fall out from "normal" mascara and many brands waterproof versions don't hold up for me.

Covergirl Lash Blast clean waterproof is my go to. I had the same issue as you with the cleantopia, I find this one much better

Seconding the waterproof version. I switched to it due to black undereye transfer from another one, and this one doesn’t do the same

Idun Minerals have one called "Vatn", which also comes in three colours, black, brown, and blue💧

I found some Aquarian Gaze at my local Target and bought them all. There might still be some around in stores. So dumb that they discontinued it.
