The Best of Waterproof Make-up
Here are 8 waterproof make-up products that will not budge - rain, hail, or shine!
Almost everyone forgets the effort that can come with summer and wearing a full-face of make-up. Your foundation feels like it could slide off your face at any second and forget going for a swim or else you’ll end up with raccoon-like eyes. Yikes! Make-up should be the last thing stopping us from enjoying this season and that’s why we’re bringing you these tried and true products that will give you hassle-free glam! Even if you aren’t planning on braving the Irish sea, waterproof makeup has lots of other benefits. For example, most waterproof makeup is long-lasting which means those pesky powder top-ups throughout the day are a non-issue. And don’t forget, long-lasting lipstick means little to no transfer which makes for stain-free sipping (champagne we hope?). Some of you must be thinking - how do I remove my make-up then? Well, oil-based make-up removers are a godsend when dealing with waterproof formulas. They gently lift the stubborn makeup off your skin, without you having to scrub. Similarly, cleansing balms and a hot face cloth work just as well and it doesn’t hurt that it feels amazing on your skin. So whether your swimming or strutting this summer, take a look at our favorite waterproof beauty buys.
