Not trying to throw shade on water, but it can seriously rain on my parade.

Swimming, humidity, unexpected rain showers, you name it—if it’s H2O-based, it’s bound to cause a makeup meltdown. Luckily, good ‘ol agua doesn’t stand a chance against the toughest beauty product around: waterproof makeup.

From foundation to lip color, here are my moisture-resistant picks for a full-face makeup routine that can weather any storm.


Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Foundation, $49

Rain or shine, this stay-all-day foundation holds up so you can avoid makeup meltdowns. They don’t call it “Airbrush Flawless” for nothing. The creamy formula withstands water and comfortably hugs skin for a poreless, full coverage finish. Apply a single layer to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and moisturize for up to 24 hours.


Danessa Myricks Beauty Waterproof Cream Palettes, $36

Need waterproof eye shadow, cream contour, and bronzer? Danessa Myricks delivers all of this and more within a compact. Her Beauty Waterproof Cream Palettes come with a variety of water-resistant shades that seamlessly blend over skin for smooth, buildable color.

Use the Essentials Palette to create a flawless contour and matte bronze that won’t budge with water exposure. Or use the shimmer shades within the Fire & Ice palette as a wet-proof shadow and highlighter for a natural-looking sheen.


Hindash Heroline, $26 & Charlotte Tilbury Eye Colour Magic Liner Duo, $32

Sweating, swimming, running for cover in an unexpected storm — whatever happens, these eyeliners stay strong so you can do you. Heroline from Hindash delivers defined, smudge-proof eyes for 24-hours with a fine marker-like tip. If pencil is more your thing, pick Charlotte Tilbury’s Eye Colour Magic Liner to create colorful, eye-enhancing looks that won’t budge. Whether you create subtle lines or dramatic designs, know these liners ensure that your smolder stays put.


Wayne Goss The Waterproof Mascara, $24

Waterproof mascara is my everyday go-to. Not only does it combat mascara lines, it also helps lengthen, maintain your lash curl, and keep strands lifted. With smudge-proof separation, The Waterproof Mascara gives you a falsies feel without clumping. Go ahead and cry tears of joy!


Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat, $25

Give your pout some lip plumping oomph with 6-hour waterproof color. The velvety texture glides on smooth to create crisp lines that keep color in place. The rich formula stays put without drying skin or bleeding for feather-free shades that last.


Skindinavia The Makeup Finishing Spray: Bridal, $29

Make your makeup routine bulletproof by setting it with a breathable spray specifically designed to resist moisture. Skindinavia The Makeup Finishing Spray is great for weddings, but I think this hardworking mist is a must-use for a photo-ready complexion on all special occasions—or even on the daily. After a couple spritzes, the ultra-fine spray creates an invisible barrier that holds all day long without creasing, fading, smudging, or settling into fine lines.
