Mirror, Mirror on the Wall…

Beauty. Let’s face it, we all in some way, shape, or form, are on the never ending quest to find it or keep it. This doesn’t change because you’re putting on a swimsuit and headed for some waves. So what do you do with your makeup for a day at the beach or pool? First you have to figure out if you’re getting in the water or not. Hey, the fact is you may just be going for a “dip” and not a “plunge”. If going for the former and not the latter, then a simple natural look with a colored lip like a pink or maybe even a red will do fine. I still wear mascara and forgo shadows.

If taking the “plunge”, then choose a waterproof mascara and possibly just a tinted lip balm. Both options should, IMO, stay away from heavy foundations, concealers, and skin makeup-they’re not good for your pores in that element. You could clog the pores from the sweat, makeup and salt water. I prefer to let my skin breathe, and clean it properly when I return home. Do however use a tinted moisturizer if you feel the need for some sort of makeup presence. And definitely don’t forget your SPF all over, the face and body.

Here are some great beach day options, all from Cargo Cosmetics!:
