I love the summertime, but it seriously interferes with my regular makeup routine. As a beauty addict, I love layering on products. However, as soon as the summer heat hits, my full face of makeup tends to melt right off. Sure, I could buy waterproof makeup, but what about all the makeup I already own? So instead of purchasing all new waterproof makeup, I found a few ways to make my current beauty look waterproof (or at the very least, water resistant). Here are some tips for waterproofing your makeup this summer:
Seal your brows with a clear wax pencil: This will prevent your eyebrow powder from migrating down your face. It will also help make your brows smudge proof. Try the Urban Decay’s All-Nighter Setting Spray ($30). It works with both liquid and mineral foundation formulas and prevents smudging and smearing.
Try a sealant: Yes, makeup sealant exists. Benefit’s Benetint Cheak and Lip Stain ($30) and the Hourglass Ambient Light Correcting Primer ($44). However, any primer is better than no primer if you want your makeup to stick.
Try a waterproof topcoat: You can make your favorite mascara waterproof in an instant. All you need to do is apply a waterproof topcoat. I recommend the
BareMinerals Locked & Coated Waterproof Lash Topcoat ($12). Best of all, it won’t clump or change the look of your mascara.
