The Best Water-Ready Makeup

Have you ever wondered what the real difference between waterproof and water-resistant formulas is?

It lies in the tolerance to water submersion. Traditionally, water-resistant cosmetics are designed to withstand the day-to-day moisture in the air, so they’re ideal if you’re somewhere humid. Waterproof make-up, for example mascaras, are great for surfers or swimmers but usually contain harsher chemicals and can damage your eyelashes.

Water-resistant make-up can surprise you, and work just as well as waterproof products depending on how long you plan on being underwater. It’s worth noting that at SkinStore we’re dedicated to bringing you only the very best cosmetics. You’ll find for example, that our mascaras are mostly packed with nourishing ingredients to protect your lashes as they coat them.

So get ready for the pool parties with our round-up of the best waterproof and water-resistant cosmetics:
