Enjoy your summer with makeup that resists water and sun, but with which nothing and no one can resist you. Whether you’re off to a pool party or just want to look great by the water, our guide makes it easy.

You can look great by the pool, even when the conditions are less than ideal. Just be sure to use waterproof makeup. It’s a brilliant idea to use a cream blusher, cream highlighter or bronzer which you can easily top up throughout the day.

How to get the perfect pool girl makeup

  1. Even out your skin tone with the Maybelline SuperStay Vitamin C Skin Tint, a lightweight fluid that resists perspiration and moisture all day long. And it looks really natural.
  2. Brighten up the under-eye area with the L’Oréal Paris True Match The One concealer. It also covers up any skin imperfections perfectly.
  3. Set your foundation with the NYX Professional Makeup High Definition Finishing Powder. Just avoid the cheek area, where you’re going to be using cream products. They’ll be easier to work with. 
  4. Accentuate your contours with the essence baby got bronze bronzer, your cheeks with the essence BABY GOT BLUSH blusher and your cheekbones and cupid’s bow with the essence BRIGHT EYES! highlighter. Blend them in thoroughly with a brush.
  5. Apply the NOBEA Day-to-Day Mono Eyeshadow in the toasted almond shade to your eyelids, using a finger. It’ll really brighten up your look.

Get ready for the pool

6. Style your eyebrows with the NYX Professional Makeup The Brow Glue brow gel. The individual hairs are lifted and styled to remain in place all day long.

7. Treat your lashes to several coats of the NOBEA Festive 3D Waterproof Mascara. It’s super-black and stays on your lashes even after testing the water temperature (un)expectedly.

8. Get luscious lips in a flash with the volume-enhancing Catrice Volumizing Extreme Lip Booster. Throw it in your handbag and touch up as needed.

9. Finally, brighten up your décolletage and arms with the L’Oréal Paris Wake Up & Glow Glow Mon Amour highlighter. Use your hands or a brush to apply it. 

Always waterproof
