While watching Grey's Anatomy can oftentimes feel like a personal attack on your very being, viewers still tune in again, season after season for all of those stressful procedures, unexpected hookups, and soul-crushing deaths. Given its notoriously emotional plot lines, Grey's Anatomy tends to wreak havoc on our makeup and turn our faces into a Rorschach test made up of mascara and eyeliner.

To help prepare for the show's upcoming 13th season, which begins Sept. 22, we've selected some standout waterproof mascaras that are actually capable of enduring an entire episode.

This Eyeko Sport Waterproof Mascara ($25) is meant for hours of rigorous physical activity and sweat, so we think it can handle an episode filled with Jackson and April's marital woes.

Lancôme's Définicils High Definition Mascara ($28) is frequently praised for its subtle lengthening and defining qualities. Naturally, its waterproof formula delivers on that same promise.

The Lashblast Volume Waterproof Mascara ($8) from Covergirl is bold and dramatic enough to compete with even the fanciest (read: expensive) mascaras.

Nothing gets past Clinique's sturdy High Impact Waterproof Mascara ($18) — just like nothing can stop the show's sad freaking soundtrack from absolutely destroying us in times of weakness.

Chanel's Inimitable Waterproof Mascara ($32) is the ultimate multitasker. It adds volume, length, and a curl with the added bonus of being waterproof, of course.

This Diorshow Waterproof Mascara ($29) from Dior delivers a sexy lash look that seriously won't budge.

Aside from having one aesthetically pleasing tube, this Tom Ford Waterproof Extreme Mascara ($48) achieves a dramatic curl that's comparable to the look of false lashes.

08

Another drugstore favorite, Maybelline's The Falsies Waterproof Mascara ($8) has a slightly curved wand to neatly grab your each and every lash.

While this Zoom Lash Mini Mascara ($10) from MAC isn't waterproof, it does come in a gray formula dubbed "High Esteem." So if you're going to cry your eyes out while watching Grey's Anatomy, those tears might as well be gray. Consider them your battle wounds.
