Although the summer months are the most popular times for weddings, they can also pose challenges for long-wearing bridal makeup especially if you are planning a destination celebration in the Caribbean. We found some waterproof and hardworking makeup products that will last from a walk down the aisle to the trash the dress dunk.
When a makeup line creates products for the French water ballet team, we know they take waterproof makeup seriously. The Full Cover Extreme Camouflage Cream by Makeup Forever is waterproof, oil-free and ultra-long lasting. It covers up dark circles (and tattoos) very well without being cakey or drying, $34.
Follow the concealor with the game-changing Jane Iredale Powder-ME SPF 30 Dry Suncreen, a type of powder foundation that provides sheer, waterproof coverage while also blurring pores. It’s made to be worn all over your body, face and scalp to provide broad spectrum sunscreen, making it a very versatile product. We didn’t love the sponge it came with, but found applying with a brush gives more precise results. $47.
For long lasting and cry-proof eyemakeup, first begin with NYX Cosmetics Proof It Waterproof Eyeshadow Primer. It does exactly what it says, making all of your eye makeup waterproof and long lasting without creasing or smudging, $7.
No doubt that Inglot’s AMC Eyeliner Gel is the gold standard for waterproof eye makeup, and after testing the product again, we still can’t stop raving about the intensity of the pigment and the staying power of the liner. Try it in different colors as both a thick graphic line or as a slightly smudged smokey eye, $16.
German brand Kryolan’s Lipstick Matt goes on smooth and dries to a matte, velvety appearance. The lipstick is smearproof and deeply pigmented with added Vitamin E to promote soft lips. We suggest, however, to follow up with a gloss throughout the day since it photographs much more elegantly, $19.80
Once you’ve applied all of you make up, give it serious staying power with Urban Decay’s All Nighter Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray. This must-have spritzer sets your makeup for up to 16-hours, meaning you won’t have to worry about your makeup moving, settling in creases or fading off, $32.
When all is said and done, wipe it all off with the AOA Studio Eye Makeup remover pads. Unscented and cruelty-free, these workhorses take off the most stubborn of eye makeup, including leftover eyelash glue. Best of all, they only cost $1 and come in a compact travel size. Beauty Tip: AOA Studio also makes Green Tea Remover Wipes, $1, and Lip Makeup Remover Pads, $1, as well. Wipe away!
