When heading to the beach, it's important that your makeup can withstand the water without turning your face into a Joker mask. The best waterproof cosmetics have a breathable texture and will be able to adequately "survive" the effects of sea or river water, sweat and moisture. We've looked at the beauty websites and selected the top 10 most waterproof beauty products by category, from makeup base to blush. Famous and well-established brands participate in our rating, whose products undergo strict quality control.
10. Waterproof makeup base
The MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation is super hardwearing (lasts up to 24 hours) and waterproof. It costs about 2700 rubles, but if you are looking for something cheaper, and at the same time of high quality, then pay attention to the hypoallergenic fluid VICHY Dermablend 16H Fluid Foundation, which costs 1550 rubles. It stays on the skin for a little less than the base from the MAC Pro - up to 16 hours, but you probably won't be spending that much time on the beach. Both bases will not clog pores and are suitable for sensitive skin.
9. Tonal basis
Some foundations are too thick - it's like wearing a blanket on your face. And the skin must breathe, but at the same time not be exposed to the inexorable influence of sunlight on a hot day. Terracotta Sun Protection Compact Foundation SPF 20 Guerlain will perfectly cope with the task of protecting the skin. It has a very light consistency, and the formula with moisturizing ingredients will prevent the skin from drying out, even out its tone and make it velvety to the touch. There are base options for all skin tones. The price of the product is high - 3800 rubles.
A more affordable option is the Laura Mercier Silk Crème Photo Edition Foundation - 3,500 rubles. This foundation leaves the skin smooth and matte, and this effect lasts 12 hours.
8. Primer
Essential for summer, primers help smooth skin, mask imperfections and, most importantly, help create the perfect base to keep makeup lasting all day. A good summer primer is
Tom Ford Complexion Enhancing Primer. Its price is about 3000 rubles. The product belongs to the fall 2015 collection, inspired by the naturalness of Hollywood images
20th century. This primer provides an even and radiant complexion and has 2 shades - pink and peach.
7. Makeup fixer
Fixing powder VICHY Dermablend Setting Powder, costing about 3,240 rubles, will protect makeup not only from water and sweat, but also from accidental rubbing of cosmetics on the face.
A less expensive option is the Graftobian Setting Spray, which is sweat-proof and waterproof. Its price is from 900 rubles and more.
6. Good waterproof mascara
There are a lot of varieties of waterproof mascara. One of the best mascaras is the Rimmel London Wonder'Full Waterproof Mascara, which costs about 400 rubles. According to users' reviews, it does not crumble, it lasts a long time, and eyelashes look natural with it. The disadvantages of this cosmetic product include: stiffness of the eyelashes after application and the fact that the brush stains the eyelid when applying mascara.
Another excellent option in terms of price / quality ratio is Urban Decay Mascara Resurrection (1565 rubles).This is a mascara corrector that allows you to apply mascara without lumps and "spider legs", as well as soften and comb through the already applied make-up.
5. Waterproof eyeliner
Some women prefer not to use mascara, and make their eyes visually larger and more expressive with eyeliner. Some of the best waterproof swim liners include: Lancôme Ombre Hypnose Intense 24H Creamy Eyeshadow Pencil (RUR 2,000 or more) with a wide range of vibrant colors and light textures, and Chanel Ligne Extreme Super Long Lasting Liquid Liner. Liquid Eye Lines (1380 rubles), passed ophthalmological control. The second option is suitable for experienced women of fashion who already have experience with liquid eyeliner.
4. Waterproof eyeshadow
On the fourth place in the list of the highest quality waterproof cosmetics, there is an excellent creamy shadow called Ombre Waterproof. They are produced by the Clarins company. The shadows have a velvety texture with the smallest particles of mother-of-pearl, easy
are applied and give the look a beautiful and mysterious shimmer. They cost about 1000 rubles.
Another summer-friendly option for waterproof eyeshadow is TOPSHOP Long Lasting Crème Eyeshadow. They last up to 16 hours, have a creamy smooth texture and come in five different shades. The cost of a 2-gram package is 650 rubles.
3. Means for removing waterproof makeup
A selection of the best waterproof cosmetics for the sea cannot be complete without a product designed to remove these cosmetics. After all, ordinary water "will not take it." We recommend a high-quality and non-irritating two-phase version from Chanel - Demaquillant Yeux Intense Eye Makeup remover (price from 2300 rubles). After its application, the skin is velvety, and no greasy film remains on it.
A less expensive option is Take It Away Long Wear Eye and Lip Make up Remover by Estee Lauder. It costs about 900 rubles and is suitable for removing waterproof makeup from eyes and lips.
2. Waterproof lipstick
Many lip cosmetic products are waterproof because they are enriched with waxes and oils. Elizabeth Arden's Beautiful Color Moisturizing Lipstick lasts up to 12 hours, does not run, and thanks to its waxy texture resists the effects of water. Its cost is 1200 rubles and more.
Gloss lovers might like Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick, which combines vibrant colors with beautiful shine. The cost is 1,170 rubles.
1. Long-lasting beach blush
A fresh blush on your cheeks on a summer day looks very attractive. You can create it using TOPSHOP Lip & Cheek Smudge (price - about 600 rubles).
Those looking for an unusual color blush can check out the Urban Decay Afterglow 8 Hour Powder Blush, which comes in 12 shades. They do not pretend to be particularly waterproof, but they last up to 8 hours and will calmly withstand a trip to the beach if your task is to sunbathe, and not immerse yourself in the water.
