Simple Steps to Flawless Pool Party Makeup
By Wander Beauty | Aug 09, 2023
Fun, flirty, and fresh are what come to mind when we think of the perfect poolside aesthetic. You’ll want to go for a natural makeup look that keeps your skin peachy and glowing and focus on hydration and protection so that the after-effects are in your favor. Grab your shades, two-piece, and a mimosa – we’re having fun in the sun, and looking good doing it!
Step 1. Prep and prime
Poolside or beach, every summer makeup look begins with a proper skincare routine. You’ll want to start with clean, hydrated skin for a natural, fresh look. Our Baggage Claim™ Eye Masks will visibly hydrate and reduce puffiness while minimizing the appearance of fine lines and dark circles, leaving your eyes clear and bright for a fun-filled day ahead. The most important part of prepping your skin for a day at the pool is, of course, sunscreen. This will protect your skin from sun damage and dehydration that can lead to visible signs of premature aging like fine lines and wrinkles. Next, you’ll need to kickstart your makeup routine with a nourishing primer for a flawless complexion. This will ensure your skin remains hydrated and your makeup application is smooth and without creases or clumping.
Streamline your routine with a makeup primer with SPF like Pack Up & Glow Priming Mineral SPF. This 2-in-1 multitasking essential is your summer BFF. Not only does it protect against harmful UV rays and free radicals, it prevents moisture loss and gives the skin a healthy, luminous glow – without the greasy, sticky, or heavy film associated with conventional sunscreen formulas. Enriched with hyaluronic acid and squalane, it also acts as the perfect priming base for makeup – double win!

When creating your pool or beach makeup look, opt for a clean-girl aesthetic so that you can relax and have fun without having to worry about smudging or touch-ups. To achieve this, reach for Nude Illusion Liquid Foundation for a lightweight feel and luxe satin finish. This cream-liquid formula instantly camouflages hyperpigmentation, blemishes, and redness, and visibly evens skin tone. Blend with a Wander Cushion for a natural, radiant complexion.

Sport a sun-kissed glow without the potentially damaging effects of prolonged sun exposure. How? On-the-Glow Blush and Illuminator. Use on your cheeks and eyes for a splash of natural-looking color and effortless glow. Swipe the cream color onto your cheeks for a rosy tint, then switch it round and swipe the illuminator end onto the eyelids, cheekbones, and tip of the nose and collar bones for a soft radiance and added dimension. Finger-friendly and travel-sized for easy touch-ups wherever you wander.

Heavy eye makeup and water are a disastrous combination. As such, we recommend keeping your pool day eye makeup clean and simple. A few swipes of a water-resistant mascara such as our Mile High Club™ Length and Define Mascara will open up your eyes, enhance your lashes, and leave you looking your best all day long. You won't have to worry about dreaded raccoon eyes either!

Finish your look with a splash of shine. Lip Retreat Oil gives you gorgeously glossy lips with a natural tint. Nutrient- and antioxidant-rich, this nourishing formula – enriched with rosa canina fruit oil, apricot kernel oil, avocado oil, and vitamin E – provides hydration and protection with every swipe. Smooth, plump, and totally kissable.

Wrap up your day with some extra hydration and care. 10 to 15 minutes with our Staycation Hydrating Face Mask will help replenish your skin by infusing it with a powerful combination of ceramides and peptides to diminish visible signs of aging and dehydration.
