Waterproof makeup is an essential when it comes to hot summer months.
If you naturally have smooth skin, colored lips, thick black eyelashes and winged eyeliner, congratulations. We’d love to have a sit down conversation with you.
If you’re like the rest of us and you use makeup to create this look, you’ll find this guide very useful for the next three months and possibly, for the rest of your life. It really just depends on how many times per year you need to jump into a body of water and come out looking just like you did before you got in, except more like January Jones.
Not swimming? These water resistant products are still great for your average summer day considering waterproof also means sweat and smudge proof.
We’ve created a water resistant makeup guide for your whole face so that you can lock in your look with ease.
What Is The Best Kind Of Waterproof Makeup?
In case you’re not in the mood to try 27 different versions of every kind of makeup and splash your face with water to figure out what actually works, we’ll give you the gist.
The best kind of waterproof makeup if the kind of makeup that doesn’t run, smudge or come off while you’re swimming, but still comes off with graceful ease at the end of the day.
We’ve rounded up all the things that do exactly that:
Water Resistant Lips
You’ve probably tried so called “waterproof lipstick,” that either just is not at all waterproof, or is definitely water proof and requires you to peel it off of your lips like cement, leaving them dry and helpless.
Luckily, these water resistant lip looks do none of the above, they do however wear all day and fade slowly and subtly without leaving weird half colored marks around your lips.
Water Resistant Gloss
Illamasqua Hypnotica Liquid Lip Lure– We like this one because it’s glides on easily and requires no professional assistance.
You simply swipe it on like normal lip gloss, let it dry and need not worry about it all summer long. This is glossy while still having the perfect burst of color and lasts about 3-4 hours without re-application.
