Waterproof Makeup

Hey beauties, Its summer time and you wanna go to the beach or pool and look good right so I got a question asking "Trying to find a waterproof concealer or foundation. One that can withstand going in a pool...Any suggestions?"


There are many options when it comes to waterproofing your makeup.


Option #1


If you already have a foundation you use every day whether liquid or powder (one with SPF preferably), just add a foundation  primer before you apply your foundation. This helps you makeup to stay on longer whether you sweat or you take a dip. Some suggestions for primers:
MAC prep + prime (skin base) Face Primer (maccosmetics.com) $25
Philosophy On A Clear Day Acne Clarifying Primer (sephora.com) $30
Smashbox Cosmetics Photo Finish Color Correcting Foundation Primer (sephora.com or amazon.com)  $38
L'oreal Studio Secrets Face Primer (www.ulta.com or target.com) $10.99
Bare Minerals Prime Time Primer (amazon.com or ulta.com) $16- $18 

Revlon Beyond Natural Smoothing Primer (drugstore.com)$12.99
Rimmel Foundation Primer (drugstores or drugstore.com or target.com) $6 
Laura Mercier Foundation Primer (amazon.com or department stores) $30
 I use GOSH Velvet Touch Foundation Primer (http://goshamericas.com/face.asp) $28
