WATERPROOF MASCARASwitch out your normal mascara for a waterproof one. It will help prevent smearing. Nobody wants black streaks running down their face. =)
WATERPROOF EYELINER
If you're going to wear eyeliner in the rain make sure it's also waterproof so you can avoid raccoon eyes.
CHEEK STAIN
Blush always seems to be the first thing to go on a rainy day. To keep a rosy glow on your cheeks try applying a cheek stain. Most of them double as a lip stain so you can kill two birds with one stone!
SETTING SPRAY
Now for my favorite tip.... Setting spray. If you have trouble keeping your makeup on this is the answer! Seriously. A spritz of setting spray before you leave the house will make a huge difference in the longevity of your makeup. It pretty much waterproofs every thing you have applied to your skin. When I use setting spray on my clients they come back and tell me how their makeup stayed on all night. They have setting sprays for all skin types, even mineral lines make them. Try it out.
WATERPROOF MAKEUP REMOVER
If you're going to waterproof the eyes make sure you use a waterproof makeup remover. It's important to be gentle around your eyes and your lashes.
Try these secrets the next time it rains. You might just come back and thank me!
