Waterproof Makeup
From LoveToKnow Makeup
With summer, sand and water just around the corner, it’s time to start talking about waterproof makeup. Waterproof makeup encompasses a whole range of products. Whether you need all of them or just a few, these waterproof makeup products will keep you looking your best, preventing smudges and runaway lashes as you hit the waves.
Sweat and Surf Ready Makeup
Whether it be sand and surf or a hard workout at the gym, waterproof makeup tops the list of must-have summer beauty items. Regardless of how perfect your makeup application may be, summer poses a whole range of stay proof makeup challenges. When temperatures begin to reach the smoldering triple digits and humidity wrecks havoc on our hair, regular makeup products begin to melt away faster than the Wicked Witch of the West.
Rather than fight an endless battle with sweat, perspiration and humidity this summer, invest in waterproof makeup. Not only will your makeup stay put, these formulas offer extended wear coverage. Once you’re done relaxing by the poolside, you can throw on your dress and head out for an evening barbeque with no need to touch up. There are some great waterproof formulas available in the following colorful product choices.
Waterproof Mascara
Perhaps the bread winner in the waterproof makeup category, waterproof mascara is a genius problem solver. Waterproof mascara defines, separates and lengthens lashes. Unless you were born with a perfect set of lashes, why not use the help of a waterproof mascara formula? Able to withstand deep sea diving and poolside lounging, a waterproof mascara is a must have beauty item. Try Maybelline’s Great Lash for the same great results as the original formula at a price that can‘t be beat.
Waterproof Eyeliner
Another beauty junkie’s favorite, waterproof eyeliner often saves the day. If you refuse to be seen without your purring cat eye makeup, consider waterproof eyeliner to be your new best friend. Available in a whole range of colors like black, blue and purple, you can line those eyes and hit the waves with no worries.
Waterproof Lipstick
While sipping pina coladas on the lido deck, many gals reach for a waterproof lipstick formula to keep their kissable pouts sizzling. Seek out long, extended wear lipsticks to find a formula sticks. Keep in mind that long wearing lipsticks tend to be drying, so treat lips with a quenching coat of lip balm in between touch ups.
Lip Balm
Absolutely, positively, without any doubt, the most important beauty product of all is a lip balm that carries an SPF. Stash a few spares in your beach bag or purse and keep them on hand at all times, whether that be during the winter or summer months.
Waterproof Sun Block
Waterproof sun block is not a for frills product. Skin protection is mandatory for all skin types to prevent the damaging effects of the sun. Seek out an extended wear sun block moisturizer and wear it liberally. Spray or pump formulas offer even coverage application.
Waterproof Blush
There’s a few ways to keep those apples peachy while soaking up the sun. The best product for a natural, lasting glow is a cheek stain. Once you’ve found a cheek stain that works best for your complexion, test it on your lips, as many cheek stains double as a lip stain. Pack this multi purpose beauty product in your gym bag and touch up when needed.
Tips for Removing Waterproof Makeup
Line up the cotton balls and prepare for battle. Waterproof cosmetics are designed to stay put, right? Well, remember this while purchasing cleansers and makeup removers. Removing waterproof varieties doesn’t have to be a fight; waterproof formulas just need extra oomph to remove the leftover ingredients that can clog pores and cause unwanted, unattractive breakouts. If you find yourself regularly applying waterproof eye makeup, you’ll need to stock the medicine cabinet with a waterproof eye makeup remover such as Neutrogena’s Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover.
For all other waterproof cosmetics, seek out cleansers specifically formulated for waterproof blends. It is vital that every trace of makeup is removed in order to keep your skin looking its very best.
