Waterproof makeup: 9 ways to make sure your look lasts from the pool to the sweaty summer sun

First step to waterproofing your makeup, is to start by priming your face. This will help control oil and help the makeup grab onto something.

   Now you will want to use a waterproof foundation that covers everything such as your acne. Dab a little on your face and remember less is more. The last
   
   thing you want to do is 'cake' your face because your skin still needs to breathe. So apply the foundation ONLY where you need it and then blend it in with a foundation brush.
2. 3
   Now time for the eyebrows! Try and find a natural coloured eyebrow pencil that contains wax. You can also use an eyebrow corrector and then use an eyebrow brush to fill in your brows. Another trick to look prettier, is to contour your nose so that it looks taller, this will make your eyebrows look well-groomed.

   Eye makeup! First use an eye primer. Your eyeshadow will thank you later, not only
   
   will it prevent creases but now your eyeshadow can grip onto your eyelids better. If you're going to use eyeliner, use one with a waterproof formular. A lot of waterproof eyeliners do contain wax. Waterproof gel or cream-based eyeliner can double up as an eyeshadow, all you need is a brush to buff it into your eyelids. Defiantly line your eyes with black eyeliner and do the wing! Now coat your eyelashes with mascara or if you cannot resist wearing falsies, apply the single ones and build up your lashes
   .

   Blush, use a water resistant one. Soft/light pinks and golds look the best in
   
   summer-time, you could also get away with just wearing a bronzer to add a shimmery tan to your cheeks. Apply cheek colour with a light, fluffy blush brush.
5. 6
   LIPS! Since it's summer and extremely hot, you probably won't feel like wearing a
   
   dry lipstick, so you can decide you wear an all natural lip balm or lip-gloss with SPF15 to keep your lips moist throughout the day! However, if you are a bit of a wild one and you know you will be hitting the beach, going to clubs and going to the mall, you may want to try wearing shocking colours to capture attention, like a glossy-electric pink!
6. 7
   Last step! Now use a setting-spray onto your face to seal everything in and allow your makeup to stay on longer! You don't need face powder because your faceshould look fresh and dewy.
