Summertime means fun in the sun. It also means sweat and extra oil production. Both of these can lead to makeup that runs, smudges or even magically disappears. However, there is no reason why you should be subjected to streaked foundation, smudged eyeliner/mascara and disappearing eyeshadow. With the variety of waterproof, sweat-proof and long-wearing makeup formulas available, your makeup should be able to last a summer day without fading, creasing, smudging or streaking.
Choose a Summer Foundation That Fits Your Daily Activities
If foundation is a must for you, choose one that can withstand your summer activities. For those who spend a little to a moderate amount of time in the sun and heat, a long-wearing or "stay put" foundation is best for you. These formulas can withstand a little bit of sweat to prevent streaking. However, their main benefit is to withstand heat to prevent the foundation from melting or looking cakey due to extra oil production. Honestly, who wants to look like a grease monkey wearing pancake makeup?
If you are active during the summer, working up a lot of sweat or spend a lot of time in the water then a waterproof foundation is best for you. Waterproof is not the same as longwearing. So do not expect for your foundation to last for hours without fading or caking. Vincent Longo Liquid Canvas Foundation is a waterproof foundation with a dewy finish that is ideal for summer.
Eye Makeup That Can Take the Heat and Water
Waterproof eye makeup is nothing new to cosmetics. Most women own waterproof mascara and eyeliner already. Face it, these were proven lifesavers while watching any movie adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks book. Waterproof eyeshadow took a little longer to make onto the cosmetics scene.
Long-wearing eyeshadow that will not fade or crease due to the heat has been around for a few years. However, long-wearing eyeliner and mascara are more recent additions to long-lasting cosmetics. Companies are creating mascara that lasts well beyond an eight-hour workday. Clinique's Lash Power Mascara Long-Wearing Formula claims to last for a full 24 hours. How is that for staying power?
A Lasting Pout That Won't Dry Out
Lip color was perhaps the first makeup to be made in long-wearing formulas. Women everywhere rejoiced until our puckers would dry out and the lip color would begin to flake. Long-lasting lip color has come a long way since then with formulas that last for eight hours or more, without making our lips feel like we walked a day in the Sahara. Cover Girl Outlast lip color and lip liners provide long-wearing color that stays put and does not dry lips.
This summer do not be a victim of runaway and disappearing makeup. Choose a long-wearing or waterproof formula that best fits your lifestyle. There is no excuse, ladies, for not looking flawless in our makeup this summer.
