Try Out These Waterproof Makeup Tips for Your Wedding Day!
1. Learn the Difference Between Waterproof and Water-Resistant
Waterproof makeup will last long after the wedding and is most resistant to heat, humidity, and tears. On the other hand, water-resistant makeups will provide some protection, but not to the same extent as waterproof makeup.
If you are getting married in the hot summer months, plan to shed some tears of joy, or are afraid of your makeup fading throughout the day, waterproof makeup may be the way to go.
However, waterproof makeup is much thicker and may irritate someone with sensitive skin. If you have sensitive skin, try water-resistant makeup. Be sure to test it out before your big day. If it doesn’t get the job done, try waterproof formulas.
As a rule of thumb, it’s never a good idea to apply new makeup you’ve never used before right before you walk down the aisle, especially if you aren’t sure it’ll hold up all day.
2. Get Eyelash Extensions
Eyelash extensions can be an incredibly stunning addition to your wedding-day makeup routine. Your eyes will never look as lovely as they do with thick lashes lining them. The best part? You don’t have to apply mascara! So if you cry, your mascara won’t run, get in your eye, or smear.
However, if the eyelashes aren’t applied correctly or are made of cheap material, they can be irritating. If your eyes are irritated, you may be tempted to wipe your eye, which can smear your makeup. If eyelashes are your go-to, invest in some high-quality lashes. If you do, your eyes will surely pop in all your beautiful wedding photos!
The best place to purchase eyelash extension supplies or take an eyelash extension course is with The Lash Professional.
3. Avoid Heavy Foundation
If your foundation isn’t waterproof, it could break down when mixed with sweat and the oils in your skin, causing the foundation to dissolve or melt. As a rule of thumb, whether you choose to use a waterproof foundation or make your foundation waterproof, be sure to apply it lightly.
Avoid unnecessary layering and keep your makeup products to a minimum. Often, less is more. This will also help you maintain a natural, glowing look for your wedding.
Additionally, when applying your foundation, use a brush or sponge rather than your fingers, as the oils in your hands can cause the foundation to break down more.
4. Waterproof Your Lips and Eyes
If nothing else, use waterproof mascara and eyeliner to protect your eyes from those inevitable happy tears.
If you are worried if your waterproof mascara will be difficult to remove at the end of the day, try applying your everyday mascara underneath the waterproof one. That way, you’ll get the benefits of waterproof makeup without the hassle of taking it off. Moreover, pencil eyeliners tend to smudge, so stick with waterproof gel or liquid liners.
Likewise, you don’t want to wear lipstick that smudges or comes off easily. When you kiss your groom, the last thing you want is to leave a lip-shaped mark on your beau. When you eat at the reception, it’s no fun to have to reapply your lipstick, constantly checking to see if it looks good after you eat and drink. Rather, it’s much better to relax and not worry about how your lips look.
However, so many lip stains dry out your lips, leaving them chapped. You’ll want something that looks great, stays on all day, and hydrates your lips and makes them look healthy. Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick hydrates and softens lips, but stays on for up to twelve hours.
The waterproof pigment comes in matte, satin, and shimmer shades, leaving you with tons of options.
5. Waterproof Your Favorite Makeup
Don’t want to give up your favorite makeup? There are some great products that can waterproof whatever eye makeup you currently wear.
For instance, the Spackle Tinted Waterproof Eye Shadow Primer can make your eyeliner and eyeshadow waterproof. Simply apply the primer, blend it, and add your favorite eye makeup.
The Makeup Forever Aqua Seal is a magical seal that keeps any powder-based and pencil-applied makeup into long-lasting, waterproof makeup. It can be used on any type of makeup, including eyeliner, eye shadow, lipstick, blush, concealer, and more.
As an option, setting powder can help foundation last longer. Many setting powders even make your foundation waterproof. For instance, the Urban Decay All Nighter Waterproof Setting Powder will waterproof your foundation. Setting powder is also a great way to prevent shiny photos and oily skin with its mattified complexion.
If you tend to sweat and it’s going to be warm, you’ll want to keep your brows looking good all day. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Primer is a wax pencil that will help keep your eyebrows in place and keep your brow powder or pencil in place all day.
