As any beauty maven on a budget knows, it can be hard to find quality makeup picks for cheap, unless there's one of those killer Sephora sales or you've got a handy Ulta coupon on hand. Even drugstore picks are rising in the ranks of price points (some are even more expensive than the beauty loot found at Sephora!), especially when you're looking for a specialty item like waterproof mascara or splash-proof gel liner. Luckily, there are some gems to be found in the realms of bargain waterproof beauty -- for example, Cover Girl's LashBlast mascara comes in a waterproof version that's just as popular, and while ultra-cheap brand Eyes Lips Face is often hit or miss, their award-winning waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Pen has a price that can't be beat! Check out the slideshow for 8 budget-friendly waterproof picks!

While matte blue shadow and/or liner may conjure up nightmarish visions of Mimi from The Drew Carey Show, or horrendously dated beauty trends in general, you may be surprised to find that when done right, matte blue makeup can look sophisticated and not tacky! For example, Leona Lewis' peepers totally popped on the red carpet with a bright teal liner on just the inner rims of her eyes -- after all, when it comes to bold color, less is more unless you're going for a GaGa-esque statement. If turquoise isn't your thing, you can also opt for matte navy blue nails, or try a blue take on the traditional smoky eye with Cover Girl's double-sided ShadowBlast stick.
