EXPERIMENT : Waterproof makeup for the beach, swimming, pool, waterpark, etc.

If you're one of the perfect girls with flawless skin who can hit the beach with just gloss and clear mascara, then I am truly envious of your beauty and confidence. For those of us who need a little more help than that (like me), I hope my waterproof makeup experiment will help you out.

 Here are the products I tested:

Makeup Forever Full Coverage Cream Concealer in Shades 12, 10  (I am NC37-40 in MAC for reference):

I used these two concealer shades as a foundation all over my face. I spread a very thin layer and then a second thin layer. It stays on better and won't cake if you apply it like that.

Makeup Forever Waterproof Eyebrow Corrector in #3:

I took the brow gel and squirted a little onto my hand then used a thin, angled brush to fill my brows.

MAC Liquidlast Liner

 I applied a very thin layer of this liner and waited for it to dry first. FYI : I have also tested MAC fluidline in Blacktrack with Ben Nye Eye Seal on top, and it is very waterproof (I wore it to a waterpark and did all the rides. Even my boyfriend was impressed that it stayed on.)

Makeup Forever Eye Seal:

I applied this ONLY on one eye to see if it made any difference in staying power.

Tarte Cheek Stain and Smashbox O-Glow, Benefit Benetint (not pictured):

I tried these 3 out on separate occasions. None of them even lasted through a regular day without water on me, so I didn't even bother with blush in these pics. I am going to try Makeup Forever Aqua Creams on my cheeks/lips when I can find one.

AFTER PHOTOS:

My face was fully splashed and even completely submerged in the water at times!

EYES (AFTER):

As you can tell, the MAC liduidlast liner stayed on, and the Makeup Forever Eye Seal (only on the left side) did not really make a difference.

PRODUCTS THAT WORK:
Makeup Forever Full Coverage Cream Concealer
Makeup Forever Waterproof eyebrow corrector
MAC liquidlast liner
MAC fluidline

PRODUCTS THAT DIDN'T:
Tarte Cheek Stain
Smashbox O-Glow
Makeup Forever Eye Seal
Benefit Benetint

SOME TIPS:

Apply thin layers

Wait for makeup to dry after applying, then gently pat  face with tissue to remove excess

Air dry when possible

Dab/pat water off with hands, only pat with towel when necessary

I didn't test mascara or lip stuff, but that's usually pretty easy to find. I might do a separate post on mascaras though. Anyway, I hope all of this info helps someone out because I spent a long time researching online to find stuff that really works! If you know any other good waterproof products to try, please share!
