As someone who lives for trail runs and paddleboarding, finding makeup that’s both au naturel and durable can feel like a quest. But when I tried Caliray, I finally found products that meet my vibe.
A friend recently recommended Caliray, and after putting it to the test, I’m impressed. She rubbed her eyes while wearing their mascara and not a single black fleck smudged or fled from her lashes. Naturally, I had to try it myself. The mascara stayed put through sweat and sunshine, and the eyeliner lasted all day without a hint of smudge. For someone outdoors as much as I am, that’s a game-changer.
Come Hell or High Water Mascara – A tubing mascara that gives buildable volume and length without smudging, flaking, or running. Infused with argan and avocado oils, it lasts through sweat, surf, and tears, yet removes easily with warm water.
Surfproof Eyeliner Pencil – A creamy, waterproof liner that glides on smooth and stays put all day. Enriched with ceramides and packaged in a bio-based barrel, it’s bold, blendable, and built for adventure.
The powerhouse behind Caliray is Wende Zomnir, a modern beauty industry pioneer.
Back in 1996, from her Laguna Beach bungalow, she launched Urban Decay and ignited a beauty revolution. With its edgy colors and bold attitude, Urban Decay filled a void in a stagnant industry, democratizing beauty long before it was the norm. Wende helped grow the brand to $1 billion in annual retail sales, securing the #1 brand spot at both Sephora and Ulta, before ultimately selling to L’Oréal.
But the story doesn’t stop there. A lifelong surfer, Wende witnessed the staggering amount of plastic waste in the ocean and felt compelled to spark another revolution—this time with sustainability at the forefront. In October 2021, she co-founded Caliray, a West Coast beauty brand that blends clean formulas, a sense of fun, and eco-conscious practices.
For those of us who live active, outdoor lifestyles but still want a little beauty boost, Caliray is proving that makeup can be clean, sustainable, and seriously long-lasting for the weekend warrior.
