I switched to tubing mascara for everyday use and only wear waterproof when I really need it. Tubing formulas come off with warm water and less rubbing. If you need waterproof daily, use a proper bi-phase remover and be patient with it.
How do I remove waterproof mascara without losing lashes?

I like waterproof mascara because my eyes water easily, but removing it at night feels rough. I always worry I’m pulling out lashes when I wipe it off.

A cleansing balm works best for me. I massage a tiny amount over my lashes with my eyes closed and let it melt the mascara before rinsing. I still use a gentle cleanser after, but I never drag a dry cotton pad across my lashes anymore.
The biggest mistake is rubbing right away. I soak a cotton pad with eye makeup remover, hold it on my closed eye for about 20 seconds, then gently slide downward. Let the remover do the work first. I lose far fewer lashes since I stopped scrubbing.
