Waterproof make-up, a resistant make-up that lasts a long time

Unlike classic makeup, waterproof makeup, as its name suggests, is water resistant. You will no longer have to choose between your beauty routine and a dip in the pool. Heat and humidity will also no longer get the better of you! So whether you're working out or enjoying the summer temperatures, there's nothing to worry about. Are you skeptical? Before jumping into the water, check the hold of your products by passing a damp cotton ball over your made-up face. It is better to test their effectiveness at home beforehand, than on site...

The different waterproof makeup products

Perhaps you are still skeptical about waterproof makeup, because you are afraid of not finding the equivalents of your favorite products? Do not panic ! Mascara, foundation, lipstick, blusher, eyeshadow and eyeliner: all the essentials are there! And if you really don't want to part with your favorite mascara, there are transparent top coats, allowing you to fix and waterproof any traditional mascara. In this regard, we think in particular of Clarins Double Fix Mascara.

What do we find, in terms of composition, in waterproof makeup?

Waterproof make-up generally consists of vegetable waxes and volatile and film-forming polymers, which resist humidity well and allow the material to be fixed well. For sensitive skin, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist before switching to waterproof makeup.

Properly apply your waterproof makeup

Waterproof makeup dries very quickly. It is therefore necessary to master your gestures when you put on makeup, because the room for maneuver is very limited! Be careful, your lipstick can also dry out your lips, so do not hesitate to rehydrate them with a balm.

To increase the hold of your eyeshadow, do not hesitate to apply a waterproof base before using your eyeshadow. Finally, a waterproof fixing spray will further increase the hold of makeup, although the ideal is to invest directly in products formulated to resist water.

How to remove waterproof makeup?

After you've gone to so much trouble to set your makeup to prevent it from running, you're still going to have to take it off. However, if the main advantage of waterproof make-up is to resist water, removing make-up is necessarily less obvious than with traditional make-up, which is normally partly removed with water! To remove waterproof make-up, without working hard on your face, use make-up remover oils: the fat helps get rid of this type of make-up without damaging the skin. Also bet on two-phase products, combining oil and water.
