Waterproof Make Up

Posted by Tasha | Monday August 8, 2011

"I'm melllltttting!", to quote the Wicked Witch of the West! Having a face full of running make up is not something you want when it comes to summer make-up! Whether you’re sweating it out in the heat, trying to surviving a few splashes at the pool or shedding a few tears at a summer wedding; your make up needs to stay put!

Eyeliner
Make Up For Ever Aqua Black (C$25.00) was inspired by the flappers of the 20s, so you know the black pigment will stay smudge-free for as long as you like.
Lancome Le Stylo Waterproof (C$29.00) is smudge-proof as well as tear-proof; perfect for a wedding or the season finale of Pretty Little Liars, if you're emotional like that.
Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner (C$26.00) comes in 15 bold shades for a bright make up look that will even last through a dip in the pool.

Eyeshadow
L’Oreal Paris la Coleur Infallible Eye Shadow (C$10.99) I'm not 100%, but I am pretty sure Infallible means crease proof and smudge proof in French- that's correct, right?
Made with a plant wax formula, Tarte EmphasEYES Waterproof Clay Liner (C$29.00) comes with a double-ended brush to get a perfect line.
Beat the humidity with Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream (C$25.00), boldly pigmented creams that can be used on eyes, lips and cheeks.

Mascara
Amp up your lashes with L’Oreal Paris Million Lashes Waterproof (C$10.99). It promises volume, length and gorgeous lashes.
Diorshow Blackout Waterproof Mascara (US$24.50) creates a dramatic set of lashes without the worry of raccoon eyes after a day at the beach.
Have all eyes on you with Lise Watier 24 Hrs Glam Mascara (C$24.00), and it won’t be because you have black tears running down your face.

Lips & Face
Evaporating silicone emollients in Make Up For Ever Aqua Lip (C$19.00) add colour to your lips before evaporating to leave your lips bold with no worries of leaving a lip print on your glass.
Tarte Cosmetics Smooth Operator tinted moisturizer (C$46.00) does double duty in the summer time: it’s water resistant and protects your skin from the sun with SPF 20.
When it comes time to remove your makeup at the end of the night, NIP+FAB Clean Fix (C$11.95) does the job. Remember if you don’t take that make up off, you’ll regret it in the morning!

Have you ever had a "melting" makeup moment with your make up?

They apply very smoothly, are extremely vibrant, a little goes a long way, but they would still need a primer underneath to prevent them rubbing off. I've tested them and found that to be the case with all the shades. Really hope L'Oreal releases more colors in this product! The Makeup Forever Aqua Creams are a bit hard to work with. They set up very fast, making it difficult to blend them, but they are very vibrant in color. Mine have also dried out fairly fast, so I won't be buying them again. For the price, they should last a greateal longer without getting hard in the pots. Their Aqua Liners last a lot longer without becoming unesable, so I'd be more likely to buy those again, even though they are a bit pricey. But Urban Decay's liners are just as good, I have found, and a great deal cheaper.
