Summer is coming up, yes to beaches and tans! Also, it would be pretty warm and some of us may get pretty sweaty so here’s a makeup tutorial / suggestions on waterproof makeup!
I always find it very ironic when I head to the beach and see women with a red lip on while powdering their face, so this would be a minimal makeup look!
Base, it’ll be the Bobbi Brown BB Cream because it provides a good amount of coverage while having SPF as well, no one wants to get a sunburn! If your base of choice doesn’t have SPF, use a sunscreen before the base.
Keeping it simple on the cheeks, the Topshop Cream Blush in Neon Rose adds a healthy and youthful glow back into the face. Plus, cream blushes look more natural and last longer. Unfortunately, it’s not available anymore so the Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blush in Flushed would do fine.
Minimize shine with a light dust of pressed powder and I’ve used the Smashbox Photo Set Pressed Powder which is nice as it won’t get too cakey.
I’m very happy with my eyebrows and don’t see the need to fill them in so I’ve skipped that and just applied some clear mascara and brushed them out. I’d suggest Benefit’s Gimme Brow if you want some brow action going on.
Moving on the eyeshadow, you can choose to go nude or a Maybelline Color Tattoo would be the perfect choice because once they set, they’re not going to budge. At all. Cream eyeshadows last longer than powder so note that!
I’m not going for eyeliner because it doesn’t tickle my fancy but Stila’s Waterproof Eyeliner is highly recommended if you want some eyeliner business.
Time to load up on waterproof mascara and here I’ve used Maybelline The Rocket as it’s one my favorites. Unfortunately I couldn’t find the waterproof version.
Last but not least, lips! You can choose to use a simple lip balm but I’ve chosen the Revlon Kissable Balm Stain in Honey as it’s a stain (long lasting!) and a balm in one.

Now it’s when I’ll insert a picture of how it turned out and excuse the awkward posing.
Hope you’ve enjoyed this, stay tuned for more!
