Going makeup-free during the summer may be your thing, but there’s also nothing wrong with rocking a bit of glam to the pool. Whether it’s a quick swipe of mascara or a major glow, you do you when it comes to beachside beauty. We’re here to break down how to lock in your look at the beach, pool or anywhere the summer heat may take you.

Bye, Bye to Racoon Eyes

As much as we adore having long luscious lashes, the idea of having your favorite mascara running down your face may be all too familiar. If you’re someone who swears by having a lash no matter the location, you know that there’s nothing worse than taking a refreshing dunk only to come up with mascara dripping down your face, or having a sweaty day leave you with mascara that’s taken a trip beyond your lashes. That’s why we reach for a water-resistant or waterproof mascara when the heat hits.

Waterproof mascara has a fancy ingredient in it known as dimethicone copolyol, which is a silica which acts as a water repellent. This allows the beads of water to simply roll off your lashes instead of taking the mascara with them. This way you can swim, sweat and spend hours outside with full lashes.

Lock In that Look

Whether its the beach, pool, lake or boardwalk, we can all agree on one thing: Summers along the coast can become brutally hot. What’s not hot? Having your foundation running off on you. That’s why grabbing your favorite setting spray or powder is essential to help secure your glam throughout the day!

Our personal favorite is our Glow Getter Mist which is enriched with ingredients such as glacier water to calm and soothe irritated skin as well as Propolis Extract to help give skin an even tone as well as moisturize, while maintaining a glowy look.<product>1</product>
