A good waterproof mascara can do wonders for your summer beauty look — just be sure you choose one with serious staying power.

For those trying to achieve the lush lash look at home, Lee has a few tips. "Always curl lashes with an eyelash curler before putting on mascara. If you have short lashes, a lash primer is a good option to add volume before applying mascara. I also love using individual false eye lashes to enhance the outer corners of the eyes when going out at night. They only last for a day and they're easy to apply with tweezers. You can add three to four lashes on the outer corners, after applying mascara to add volume and lift."
