8 Waterproof Products Beyond Just Mascara
Change any unsightly makeup messes with these eight waterproof products ideal for every beauty. Sun, surf, rain, crying – all can cause even the most stubborn makeup to run. Don’t let your next big cry session mess with your makeup!
1. Concealer
Banish those unsightly bags while swimming! Although summer is all about the ‘natural’ beauty and waterproof products look, a little concealer will go a long way to hide those dark circles.
When visible under the eyes, dark circles are a sign of poor sleep and lack of circulation. Cover them up with a concealer that will last you all day—and in water.
Tarte’s Amazonian Clay Waterproof 12-Hour Concealer will ensure your makeup looks good after a dip. Plus, it’s cruelty free and comes in 10 (*cough, cough*) shades.

2. Bronzer
Pale skin can fade away under the hot sun or look wanton in cold winter weather. Warm up your skin with a bit of bronzer.
Bronzer is a great way to carve out your cheekbones and add life to your skin. Apply below the apples of your cheeks and into your hairline on the diagonal. Continue on the perimeter of your forehead, and temples. Add some below your jaw to sculpt.
A brilliant option for bronzer among waterproof products is Tarte’s Amazonian Clay Waterproof Bronzer. It survives all sweating.

3. Foundation
Banishing redness and unsightly pores doesn’t have to be difficult. In fact, it’s so easy that it can be done with one of these waterproof products!
Cover those sleepless nights, unsightly pores, and frightening blemishes by smoothing a light layer of foundation all over your skin. Make sure to blend well, so the product seamlessly matches your natural colour. Apply foundation before concealer and bronzer.
Check out the moisturising foundation from Make Up Forever. Their HD Foundation ensures your face will look as fresh from the water as it did that morning!

4. Eyeliner
Forget that smudging liner. Or that smokey eye that looks more like panda eyes at the end of the day.
Invest in a waterproof, long lasting eyeliner. A great waterproof products option is the Milani Stay Put Eyeliner Pencil. Affordable and versatile—this pencil can be used in the waterline, on your lids, and even in your eyebrows.
Now that’s a talented product!

5. Powder
For those of us with oily skin, power is the way to go. Powders ensure your makeup is locked in, and will not budge or crease throughout the day.
Apply powder with a brush or sponge in the areas that get oily (the T-zone) and anywhere you do not want your makeup rubbing off (under the eyes).
Keep powder away from any dry areas, as this will make them more noticeable.
Anyone with dry skin should steer clear of powders, stick to just liquid foundation. If you do need a little insurance, purchase a matte setting spray.
A brilliant, sweat-proof powder option is the Urban Decay All Nighter Waterproof Setting Powder. Keep it in your bag for a touch-up, and to ensure your makeup is always on point!

6. Eyeshadow
If eyeliner isn’t your thing or there aren’t enough colours in the range, stick with a creamy eye shadow.
Eye shadow pots can deliver amazing pigmentation, great colours, and a ton of shine. Create a stunning eye look complete with a cut-crease and multidimensional shimmer, or stick to a nude, natural look.
Whatever your style, Beauty Bakerie’s Frosted EyesCream Eyeshadows can deliver the look you desire and is one of the best waterproof products around!

7. Eyebrows
If you’ve been living under a rock, let me clue you in on the huge makeup trend. Eyebrows. It’s all about eyebrows! A carved, chiselled eyebrow is the one thing your makeup look needs to elevate it from drab to fab.
The cult favourite, Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade is one of the best completely waterproof products available!
Stick with the staple and know that your eyebrows will be on fleek all day long!

8. Lipstick
That last step in your make-up routine is ultimately the most risky. Lipstick is notorious for coming off at the most inconvenient of times; coffee cups, wineglasses, and all over your loved one.
Not anymore! NYX’s Full Throttle Lipstick comes in two gorgeous shades, Lethal Kiss and Firestorm.
Pull together your entire look, and make sure you never leave your mark with this waterproof product’s staying power!
