Ladies,
For the last few weeks I have swam, sweat and even watched
the sappiest of chick flicks just to find out which waterproof
makeup holds up to the test of surf, heat, humidity and tears.
I found the best waterproof mascara
and eyeliner,
long-lasting lipstick, and even waterproof foundation. Needless
to say, I've gone through a lot of oil-based makeup remover (a very important
extra to have if you plan on wearing this stuff). Finally, we can go to the
beach without leaving all racoon-eyed.
Love,
SheFinds

.: Editor's Pick :.
The Per-feckt Skin Gel really does perfect the skin, while hydrating, protecting and feeling light
as air. It's so worth the $50 for someone who hates foundation, but who also
needs sweatproof coverage for the hottest of summer days.

Heat plus makeup equals a big mess -- not with the IcyBag, though.

.: The Best Waterproof Mascara
Nearly every cosmetic brand makes a waterproof mascara, which
means you can expect good quality across the board.
These finds are not only waterproof and smudgeproof, but they make your lashes
look great, too.
24-Hour Mascara For mascara that
lasts longer than the Energizer Bunny, try Jemma
Kidd Make Up School Semi-Permanent Lash-Tint. This dramatic
darkening lash tint stayed on, and on, and on, until it was ready
to be removed. I would highly recommend it to women with light
lashes that want to add impact to their peepers.
Lengthening and Thickening The silkiest formulas for
long, lush, waterproof lashes are Hypnose
Waterproof Mascara by
Lancôme and the Waterproof
Mascara by Yves Saint Laurent. Both look stunning on and
provide a perfect application without smudging, clumping or creating
the dreaded spider-eye look.
Gentle
Waterproof Mascara Kanebo's
38° Silk Performance
Mascara won't flake,
clump or smudge no matter what you do, and it's unbelievably
gentle, too. Just apply 38°C/104°F
water to the lashes and gently slide the tubes of mascara off
when you're ready -- no makeup remover necessary. It's great
for the ocean, but avoid hot tubs and steamy showers at all costs.
The Most Innovative Smashbox
Limitless Lash Waterproof Mascara features a double-ended waterproof mascara on one end and a lash conditioner/makeup
remover on the other. You'll get full, separated lashes and a quick way to remove
it when you're ready. It's the perfect pick for your overnight bag.
.: Smudge-proof
Eyeliners and Eyeshadows
Waterproof eyeliners still haven't reached
holy grail proportions -- they're not glue, but they'll do for
a day at the beach or a grueling workout. Waterproof eyeshadows,
however, are the secret to crease-free lids all day, rain or
shine, no matter how much you rub. They are truly a gift from
the beauty gods.
Award Winning Eyeshadow Bobbi Brown's Long-Wear Cream Shadow is
so good it was named the 'Best Cream Shadow' from
Self's Healthy Beauty Awards
(May
2007).
I couldn't agree more; it goes on smooth, stays crease-free (even by cocktail
hour) and it comes in a wide range of colors.
The
Best Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Tarte's
Indelible Wink is a double-ended eyeshadow and liquid
eyeliner in one, both of which are water-resistant. Know that
once the liner dries, you better be happy with where you applied
it because it is not going to budge. It's perfect for sweaty
days or nights, and it can hold up to a mean game of Marco
Polo.
Top Picks for Waterproof Pencil Eyeliners
For vibrant color and a creamy application in a waterproof pencil eyeliner,
choose Urban
Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil. It comes in an array of
fun colors, shimmers and basics hues, so you don't have to
surrender your personal style just to stay smudge-free.
Another great choice is Mary
Kay's Signature Eyeliner, an
inexpensive mechanical waterproof eyeliner
that stays on exceptionally well and comes in eight hues so you can stay simple
or play up your peepers with a more alluring shade should
you feel so inclined.
.: The Best Long-Lasting Lipsticks
The Best Waterproof Lip Stain
The sure-fire pick to give your lips a seductive punch of just bitten cranberry
color is theBalm's
Staniac Hint of Tint. The tube applicator makes it a breeze to apply
and it stays on all day, even if you eat, drink, swim or make out.
A Long-Lasting Stain Gloss Combo
This fabulous Double
Wear Lip Stain Duo by
Estée Lauder comes in several shades so you can find the best one to
suit your skin, plus it has a gloss on one end so you can keep lips looking
shining and sexy, instead of parched.
The Best Waterproof Lipstick
Not into stains? No problem. Stila's
Convertible Color for cheeks and lips isn't labeled as waterproof, but
this stuff lasts unbelievably long
and doesn't smudge or smear when wet. Plus, it multi-tasks.
.: Waterproof Makeup
Luxurious Sweatproof Makeup Perfekt Skin Perfection Gel is
an amazing sweatproof skin tint that won't clog pores and creates
a flawless complexion. Plus, it's full of emollients and heavy-duty
antioxidants that are good for the skin.
The Best Choice for Humid Climates
If you live in a hot climate year round, Climate
Control Sheer Mineral Tint by Rae
Cosmetics creates a flawless face every time. Unbelievably light, but
sweatproof, this mineral tint is full of light diffusers that blur away fine
lines and wrinkles.
Beach-proof Foundation
If you can't give up the coverage of a foundation, check out Estée
Lauder's Double Wear stay-in-Place Foundation is the ideal choice for medium
to full coverage without smudging. This is of the best quality, and it even
lets your skin breathe.
