Summer is
all about the outdoors, swimming pools, the beach and warmth. Warmth that can
create a little sweat (oh, I know, you don’t sweat, you merely glow!). So, you need
to keep your face of perfection while swimming, playing sport or just smiling
happily on the beach. Get ready for the deep end because waterproof makeup does
not have to be heavy and cakey on your face. I have picked out some of the best
waterproof makeup products that last through all the activity, but are still
breathable, with light textures and often a handy SPF factor to boot!
Eyes defined
So, let’s
start with the obvious one, a waterproof mascara. There are plenty of these
around so you will be spoilt for choice. I love LANCÔME
Hypnose Star Waterproof Show-Stopping Eyes Ultra-Glam Volume Mascara. Yes, with
a name like that I’ve got to love it! It
has a dual-sided brush that leaves lashes looking volumised and curled, and the
“Black Diamond” shade has a glamorous intensity.
Then – keep your gaze defined as you do glamour in the water. A waterproof eye pencil is perfect for this, and adds focus and intensity to your eyes. Try Christian Dior Long-Wear Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil. It is a long-wearing, smudge-free eyeliner that's not afraid of water! And it comes with a handy blending brush-tip and sharpener attached, in blue, brown and black.
Flawless visage
Now, I don’t know about you, but I am a fan of the flawless skin look,
ALL the time. So, when I am swimming around, I still don’t want any blemishes
of dark patches showing, so the perfect product for me in summer is Estée
Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Flawless Wear Concealer SPF 10. It is a
lightweight crème formula which creates the perfected look of flawless skin all
day. It lasts 15-hours, feels comfortable and has a luminous finish. You just
use the wand applicator to get it where it needs to be, then don’t worry again!
Flushed mermaid
There is nothing like gently flushed cheeks to keep you looking pretty
outdoors! Which is why I carry BECCA Beach Tint around in summer. It is a water-resistant
crème stain for cheeks and also for lips with a natural wash of colour. Enriched
with skin-soothing vitamin E, it stays put with a subtle, fruity scent, making sure you look lovely even in the
unforgiving glare of direct sunlight!
Keep the colour on!
And last but not least, let’s not forget to waterproof our pouts! Use
M.A.C Lustre Lipstick in one of its many
shades, I love a gentle pink for outdoors. The texture repels water so it stays
on while you drink cocktails and dash off for a dip!
So, there you have it my summer
beauties! No need to go bare faced into the water! Happy swimming!
