There are thousands of waterproof eye makeup products to choose from across the world, especially mascara, but Eyeko is setting itself apart as a producer of 'Sport Waterproof Mascara.'

The product is branded with sports references like "bat your lashes" and "#lashgoals," promising that the [waterproof mascara](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oceanly-lash-serum-mascara) has the potential to create a "winning look." Rather than showing off the product on a model's face, the brand's product page includes icons of figures engaged in different spots like basketball, bicycling and swimming.

The rise of [athleisure fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/staud-sport-1) has also created an opening in the market for [gym-friendly makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gymcare-kit) that is tough enough to keep up with one's active lifestyle. This particular product boasts 24-hour wear, a Thixotropical gel formula to repel water, as well as collagen and fruit extracts to protect and condition the lashes.
