Hi there!
I'm going to camp for 8 weeks on the 28th and I wanted to know if anyone had any tips for makeup in the summertime? I need something very lightweight (preferably waterproof but doesn't have to be) I have combination skin (I'm already using Dermatologica products) and mild acne so if it's acne-friendly that is a plus!!
Thank you so much!!
I have to say it... at camp, no one but you will care if you wear any makeup at all. Maybe the first couple days, but over 8 weeks.... yeah, nobody will care! :D
If you really want something to feel better, try a light dab of concealer and a powder foundation. Maybe some mascara. And that's it! I really like Meow Cosmetics powder foundation and Neutrogena concealer, personally.
Trust me, you really won't want any more than that after a couple days!
A tinted moisturizer might be good for you, they usually have an SPF in them, and you're getting your moisture and your foundation all in one. You could get one of those chunky pencils and use it for blush/lipstick/eyeshadow-they're a great multipurpose tool! I can't live without my mascara, so I'd definitely have to bring that with me. It's all about finding products that can be used more than one way.
If I was going to camp for 8 weeks I would just bring tinted moisturizer mascara and eyeliner. Maybe my favorite eye shadow quad too:)
You will definitely need a tinted moisturizer with Spf if you will be outside!
For camping, i would bring eyeliner, chapstick, makeup remover & if you really need it, mascara! Makeup can get complicated when camping, plus the heat melts it off anyway, so why bother? IMO, stick with the basics!
