Waterproof Summer Makeup

*** SUMMER 2012 MAKEUP - WATERPROOF EYE MAKEUP ***

 
 
 
 
Waterproof Eye Makeup Products for Summer 2012
...and the hunt continues.  Here are a few waterproof eye products I have tried.  These are in my very own beauty bag for moi.  Here in the hot, steamy South our summers are BRUTAL with a capital "B" for well, Brutal.  It's hot, it's steamy and your makeup unfortunately melts away easily.  These eye products will help keep you looking beautiful and like the gorgeous Summer Goddesses you are. 
 
*please note that all waterproof eye products do require a waterproof remover, so do purchase one for your bag - or you will risk the torment of tugging, scrubbing and pulling out your lashes - so unattractive.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Cannonball Waterproof Mascara - Urban Decay $20 - www.urbandecay.com
This mermaid-worthy formula endures (I have actually tested it at sea), and the light gel formula never looks cakey.
Very lightweight and your lashes will actually be feathery when applied properly.  My new go to for steamy summer.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Waterproof Shadow Liner Duo - Smashbox $25 - www.smashbox.com
Create a smoldering smoky eye that won’t crease after a hot summer night with this cream-to-powder duo. Use your finger for allover color or a thin brush to line.  Great color choices and you won't have ugly racoon eyes long after the sun has gone down.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner - $23 - www.makeupforever.com
Equipped with a flexible foam-tip applicator, this easy-to-use liquid liner stays put all day and is available in 15 vibrant shades.  You cannot beat this product line for waterproof-ness.  To have 15 shades also is a MAJOR plus!  Everyone that knows me KNOWS I'm an MUFE fan - check out THIS BLOG POST.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
L'Oreal Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover $8 - www.loreal.com
Removes eye makeup instantly.  Cleans delicate eye area without leaving a greasy film. I love this product because it doesn't sting my eyes and is oil free.  With waterproof makeup you MUST use a waterproof makeup remover - because of the tugging and scrubbing if you don't use one - and NOBODY wants to see that. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
LANCOME Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover - $27 - www.lancomeusa.com
Activates when shaken to gently whisk away even waterproof eye makeup, while conditioning and refreshing the skin. Ideal for sensitive skin and contact lens wearers. Leaves eyes feeling cool and relaxed, with no oily residue.  A little goes a long way with this soothing product - and I also love it because it doesn't sting my eyes.
 
 
 
 
Look for more waterproof product reviews in the ensuing days - I'm testing waterproof face products next. If you have any favorites or comments on these, I look forward to hearing from you!  Please post.  I am always thrilled to hear from those who take the time to read my blog :)

*** MAKE UP FOR EVER AQUA SHADOWS - WATERPROOF MAKEUP FOR THE SPRING/SUMMER 2012 ***

LISA JOHNSON MAKEUP ARTIST

 

Make Up For Ever Spring/Summer 2012 Aqua Shadows
The hunt for waterproof, long lasting eye makeup brings me to the new Make Up For Ever additions to their Aqua line. Check out their 12 new offerings ~ B+
 

Make Up For Ever Aqua Shadows - Lisa Johnson Makeup Artist - Nashville Makeup

If long lasting, waterproof proof eye makeup is one of your top priorities, the newest Make Up For Ever collection, Aqua Shadows is sure to please - with a little tweaking.... 

MY REVIEW ~  I found these fairly easy to apply and blend before they became "set".  These performed best for me up to 5 hours without creasing.  The matte are truly matte and highly pigmented - however, I think setting these with shadow will improve their wearability. The pearl shades are medium pigmented and very buildable - with a beautiful sheen - these tend to last longer than the matte shadows in my view and are very wearable day and night.  I recommend these for summer heat waves, swimming, high humidity days and hot sultry evenings dancing the night away.  B+

Having worked on several underwater fashion shoots myself, I can testify to their lasting ability - within the limits I described.  Useful in humidity and high heat environments - and the color payoff is great.
