Waterproof, sweat proof and smudge proof mascara, eye makeup
and foundation products that will resist the effects of
moisture and humidity.

Waterproof makeup products are the best way to wear mascara,

eyeliner and foundation because they stay put until you're
ready to remove them. After all, nobody wears makeup only to
have to reapply it! But sometimes we forget that water proof

cosmetics are such a great option. Swimmers, models, runners
and travelers know that sweatproof, smudge proof and water
proof makeup products make a lot of sense, but the rest of us

need to be reminded to use them. The question isn't so much,
'Why do some people wear waterproof makeup?" It's "Why don't
we all?"

New Cosmetics Technologies in Waterproof Makeup Mean No More

Clogged Pores

Some people worry that waterproof makeup products will stress
the skin or clog the pores, but modern make up technology has

created lines of liquid eyeliner, nontoxic cosmetic foundations

and even stage makeup designed to go on smoothly, stay on

endlessly and disappear without a trace when you take them off.

You can find waterproof makeup with sunscreen, and these days,

SPF is a non-negotiable, either in your makeup or under it.
Scar makeup is a prime example of excellent modern day water-
proof makeup: if you really want to conceal, you want it to
last, and new scar concealing body makeups do the job.

Smudge-Proof Lipsticks and Lip Liners are Great Day Wear

Water proof makeup products for lips include tubes of lipstick,

boxes of lip color and even lip paints. If you first cover the

lips with foundation, you can get a smooth primer coat for
lining the lips and then filling them in with color. If you
use waterproof foundation as well as lip color, you have an
even better chance of keeping your lip color on all day
without needing to refresh it. Color, blend, blot and reapply
for a perfect mouth. Using waterproof, smudge proof lip color

means you won't have to worry about losing your lipstick over
an important lunch meeting.

Waterproof Mascara that Doesn't Run on a Hot Day or From a
Good Cry

Water proof eye products are especially terrific because our
eyes tend to water, to get rubbed and to be generally
irritated more than the rest of our faces. People who wear

contact lenses have a difficult time not touching their eyes:

they need eye makeup that can stand up to a little rub now
and then. Ordinary eye cosmetics can cause problems for lens

wearers because non water proof products tend to flake, smear
or run, getting into sensitive eyes and ruining delicate
lenses. Because lens wearers are more susceptible to eye

infections, scratches and sensitivities, they should only
wear eye makeup designated for them. There are companies that
specialize in eye makeup and eye makeup remover for contact
lens wearers.

Some makeup can work on more than one area: women have even
been known to use a smudged lip liner for a soft pink eye
shadow. Eyeliner pencil in a waterproof formula can be made
to do double duty as eye shadow in a pinch, but if you buy a
bag for your waterproof makeup products, you can carry more
with you than a pencil or two to make the change from
everyday makeup to something more glamorous for nighttime.

Waterproof Eye Shadows Can Stand a Humid Day without Rubbing
Off

Waterproof eye shadow means not having to reapply partway
through an evening at a hot, crowded club, and since those
places never have decent mirrors, you'd better plan to go
home with the same makeup you wore in. Many women prefer
cream eyeliner and shadow because it goes on more smoothly,
but you can also set it more securely with powder. Waterproof

cream to powder eyeliner is a powerful makeup combination:

getting your eye makeup in waterproof forms is a great way to

beat summer heat, winter rains and raccoon eyes at the end of
a long day.

Removing Waterproof Cosmetics Takes More Than Soap and Water

When it comes to removing waterproof makeup, you have a number
of choices. If you're the old fashioned type, you can start
with baby oil, but it doesn't have the wonderful cosmeceutical

properties of more modern approaches. You can find makeup
remover with green tea extract, Vitamin E, and moisturizers
of all sorts. There are very mild eye makeup removers made
with coconut oil and stronger all over makeup removers for
stage makeup.
