This Was the *Scorching* Heat Proof Mascara Every Woman Wore on the Set of White Lotus

Season three of The White Lotus is officially live on HBO—well, the first few episodes, at least. This time, the hotly anticipated anthology series takes place in Thailand, a locale known for its tropical heat and humidity. It goes without saying that this kind of climate can pose a challenge to on-set experts who are in charge of creating long-lasting, camera-ready makeup.
Recently, makeup artist and makeup department head Rebecca Hickey shared insight into the actual products she used on the actors while filming on location. One of them was a smudge-proof, budge-proof mascara that held up to the "scorching" Thailand temperatures. Keep scrolling to see which underrated and editor-approved mascara it is. Then, snag one (or three) before your next vacation or simply to prep for melt-proof summer makeup.
The Exact Mascara Used on The White Lotus
Here's the exact mascara that all the women wore on the set of The White Lotus. The three-in-one volumizing, lengthening, and defining formula contains a vegan beeswax alternative for a buildable, budge-proof lash look. As lash-obsessed beauty editors, we're big fans of this mascara, and we'd go so far as to say that it's underrated. Apparently, Hickey agrees.
“The Make Beauty Lash Prototype Mascara was used on every single woman this season of White Lotus," she said. "It adds so much volume but never smudges, which would have been a disaster with the scorching temps of Thailand! We needed a mascara to add volume and length without budging and this mascara was the perfect fit for filming.”
Thanks to Hickey's detailed Instagram videos, we know a few more of the actual products she used on set. Keep scrolling to see some of our favorite ones!
More Beauty Products Used on Set
"As for her makeup, we used a lot of Ciele Cosmetics," Hickey says. "They aren't pore-clogging but they also have SPF in them. Their Tint Protect is like a serum foundation. I would actually use a lighter color on the middle of her face and a darker color on the outside. It gives this nice depth without having any harshness."
As for the lip look, Hickey says she alternated between using Maybelline's BabyLips Lip Balm ($4) and this beautiful, berry-colored lip oil from social media favorite beauty brand Merit.
