The best thing that has happened to women in the world of cosmetics is waterproof makeup. There is nothing more blissful than applying a makeup that is resistant of water, so even if you suddenly find yourself in midst of monsoon, or have an urge of shedding tears out of joy, be rest assured that your makeup wouldn’t spoil your look!
However, the secret behind waterproof makeup is the way it is applied. Waterproof makeup, when applied properly can last for a long time, and is resistant of weather, the humidity and most things that are related to water! So, irrespective of whether you are hitting it out on the gym, or spending your vacation on the pool, or just having a hard time out there in the humid weather, you have a host of waterproof cosmetics to keep your look perfect, ranging from mascara, eyeliners to lipsticks and even sub blocks!
Most general cosmetics contain silicon oil that maintains softness of the skin, and also makes the product feel smooth. The waterproof versions of the cosmetics contain a different type of the same oil, which makes it usable in water! However, a word of concern for the health-concerned women: There are some steps to be followed in order to remove the makeup. Waterproof makeup is unaffected by water, and hence a special solvent is require to remove them off the face. However, these solvents are generally hard on the skin, and repeated and regular use may make the skin dry and more prone to sunburns and skin infections! For pregnant women, and women suffering from eyelid allergies it is advisable not to use waterproof cosmetics for health reasons. However, waterproof makeup in general can be used occasionally to get the effect you want. Here are some of the most popular waterproof cosmetics.
Mascara:The most popular of all waterproof cosmetics is the waterproof mascara. It is used to separate out and lengthen the eyelashes. It is a must use products for women who want to apply long-drawn lashes for the best effect.
Eyeliner: Next on the waterproof eye makeup list is the eyeliner. It is the best thing for women who have experienced embarrassing days with liner smeared all over the eye! It comes in different colors, including funky ones like blue, pink and purple besides the normal blacks and browns!
Lip balm: From eyes, we now come to lips! Often in winters, we face that problem of applying lip balms that wash away on contact with water. But now with waterproof lip balms, you don’t need to worry about your lips getting dry and reapplying balms every time you visit the washroom.
Lipsticks: Makeup for lips cannot be complete without lipsticks. Women love to apply lipsticks to bring on the perfect look, but most of it either gets consumed while having food, or gets washed away while applying water. While nothing can be done about lipstick consumption (!), one can certainly use waterproof lipsticks to extend the longevity of lipsticks. However, it is also advisable to use lip balms over lipsticks so that they don’t dry up after a long time.
Blushes: Waterproof blushes have opened new ways to keep the cheeks soft even while exposed to the glowing sun! You need to select the blush appropriate to your skin type. Also, you can use it for working up your lip stains too!
Sub block: This is one of the most used waterproof products. The main purpose of using a sun block is to save the skin from the scorching sun. But it becomes a real problem when it wears off when one needs to wash their face! Therefore, waterproof sun cream is the perfect thing for all women who want the perfect solution from the harmful effects of sun. Apply a sun block moisturizer for a better coverage on to the skin!
Removing waterproof makeup is also a very important part of the whole process. Therefore, one must have cotton balls handy along with cleansers and removers. Remember to choose the best remover available, as they tend to be a little harsh on the skin. For cleansers, it is better to have products specifically made for waterproof makeup only.
