BEST WATERPROOF MAKEUP PRODUCTS FOR SUMMER

Summer is always a great time to go au natural with your makeup but sometimes, you’d like more attention to your face than your swimwear! For those who can’t bear going out without a full face of makeup for Instagram photos, or for those who just want to enhance their best facial features and flutter those lashes by the beach bar, we’ve selected some basic waterproof makeup products that will last you through summer.

While summer is perfect for a beach getaway, lounging by the pool and even heading for the lakes, the humidity and heat means makeup will melt off and smudge. Wearing makeup in summer poses some serious questions for beauty lovers.

We’ve covered some of the common questions below and selected a handful of the best waterproof makeup products for summer for your beauty needs:

 

Do I jump in the refreshingly cool water and risk coming out looking like a panda?

If you had to choose just one long-lasting makeup must-have, it should be a good waterproof mascara. You might be able to get away with slightly smudged eyeliner but having mascara smeared all over your face is probably best left for Halloween.

My face looks like a cracked cake!

If you’ve tried using liquid foundation during the summer, you would have certainly experienced melting, streaking, and caking on the face. This isn’t a pretty sight as we know it but thankfully there’s a way around this.

For lightweight, hydrating and melt-proof coverage with SPF this summer, use a BB, CC Cream or tinted moisturizer.

I swear I applied lipstick today.

Itโ€™s easy enough for normal lip color to come right off anytime of the day and the warm weather definitely doesnโ€™t help. Look out for long-lasting lipstick that will stay put even while sipping on your favourite summer drink!

HOW TO REMOVE WATERPROOF MAKEUP

So if splashing about in water won’t remove your waterproof makeup, what will? Thankfully, there are a number of products that cleanses the face with just a swipe. From micellar facial wipes to cleansing oils, there is something out there for even the most stubborn makeup. If you prefer something more natural, you can use coconut oil to remove waterproof makeup.

Start with warming coconut oil by rubbing it through your finger tips. Spread all over your eyelids, lashes and face and gently rub in with circular motions. Remove the oil by wiping off with cotton pads. Splash with warm water and wipe with cotton pads once again until all the makeup is gone. Repeat if necessary. You’ll have clean and moisturised skin right after!
