 It is any thing that is not affected by water. Now a days even waterproof cosmetics are being made. Waterproof eye liner and mascara are a few examples.
  
 Waxing
 It is a temporary method to remove hair. Wax is spread on the over the skin and a strip of paper or cloth is pressed over it. The cloth or paper strip is then ripped off in the direction of the hair growth. The hair in the waxed area does not regrow for 3 to 8 weeks.
