This is why waterproof cosmetics should be in the arsenal of every beauty

Waterproof makeup It is relevant not only for a holiday on the sea or a drama session in the cinema. Precipitation in both summer and winter can easily spoil the image. If the window is bad weather, water-resistant cosmetics come to the rescue. How is it different from normal and what is it worth knowing?

What is important to know about water-resistant makeup Water-resistant products acquire their properties due to mineral or natural wax and silicone polymers in the composition. This product is partially evaporated after application. Most of the components remain on the skin – they are held by silicone.



Marking of persistent cosmetics

1. Long lasting. Water-resistant means can be called conditionally. They also contain silicone oils and last longer than standard ones. Moderately humid environment, such makeup will withstand, but you should not dive with it into the water.
2. Waterproof, or Water Resistant. Fully moisture-resistant cosmetics, which are suitable for swimming, sports and photoshoots in the water, keep a neat look in the rain and snow.

Keep in mind that the quality of the product depends on the manufacturer. Water resistance is not a guarantee of water-resistant makeup. You need to study the compositions, experiment with different brands. It's just like normal makeup. As a rule, water resistant products contain from 15 to 25% silicones.

Water-resistant makeup is “afraid” of oil and hot. We do not recommend eating fatty foods and drinking hot drinks with moisture-resistant lipstick, otherwise it will quickly lose its brightness.

Waterproof cosmetics are objectively more harmful than any other. Due to the abundance of silicones, it clogs the pores and prevents the oxygen supply of cells. Many useful components cannot be placed in such products, so after 2-3 hours after application, they begin to dry and tighten the skin.



Remove moisture-resistant cosmetics comfortably and safely for the skin help only means based on oils: tonic, milk, hydrophilic oil. Other products will either not give a result and simply smear everything, or will force the skin to rub red, which can lead to irritation and the formation of wrinkles.

If the hydrobalance of the skin is disturbed, it is better to forget about water-resistant makeup for a while. First, normalize the sebaceous glands and restore the moisture level with special care (for example, with ceramides).

Creating makeup involves step-by-step work.

1. Purification. The skin will be loaded, so choose delicate alcohol-free products with useful phytoextracts and moisturizing effect.
2. Base. We recommend using a primer, as a moisturizer or fluid is not suitable for creating water-resistant makeup. If the skin is prone to fat, pay attention to the T-zone and prevent the appearance of unaesthetic shine.
3. Tone. Apply the tonal cream with a thin layer with a brush. Attach the top with crumbly powder. Since even a stable tonal base sometimes flows (especially in the heat), just in case, take the powder with you as you leave the house.
4. Eyebrows. If you need to adjust the color, choose cream products. They are then easier to fix with a transparent gel.
5. Eyes. Shade the base. It is better to take dry versions of shadows and carefully layer. To create arrows, we recommend water-resistant liners-flomasters. They are comfortable and evenly laid on the skin, easy to use for beginners. On the eyelashes, it is also desirable to apply the base under the mascara.
6. Lips. Before using lipstick, treat the lips with a small amount of consiler and powder. A practical solution for water-resistant makeup will be matte lipstick or tints. Do not close your lips for a few minutes after you have made up.
7. Fixation. Spray a fixing makeup spray on your face and wait a few seconds to fix the result. Makeup ready!

Useful tips for water-resistant makeup

1. Apply moisture-resistant cosmetics dosed. You can not use such products every day, otherwise you can spoil the skin.
2. Choose quality tools. It is better to pay a little more than to get cosmetics that do not perform the stated tasks.
3. Do not rub the area of the eyes and lips during demakia. Moisten the cotton disc with a cleanser and apply to the desired area for about half a minute, then gently wipe. Move the disk in circular motions and point downward.
4. Never go to bed with that makeup. In the morning, the skin will be dull and dry. In addition, eyelashes can be injured.

After all the tests, be sure to arrange a rest for the skin from makeup and treat it to a moisturizing mask.
