I have to take swimming for a class this year I wanted to know what's a good face makeup...powder or foundation that I could put it on really quickly! We only get 6 minutes to changes and I have it first period :(. Also if you have any suggestions for waterproof eye makeup please I would appreciate it
-side note: it would be great to have some drugstore selections :)

Since its your first period, I'd suggest not going for any "waterproof products". Most products definitely cannot withheld being constantly submerged in water. If that is the case, when you come out of the water the face products may look blotchy and the eye makeup could possibly run; it will take up all of that 6 minutes to just wash it off. You're better off going makeup-less at first, for swimming. I'd suggest a bb cream, mascara, and some concealer if you need it. Lip colors are easy since you can just reapply them all throughout the day.

I am a swimmer for a living and I usually take
My makeup off before hand, but after practice use a quick moisturizer so your face doesn't get dry, then apply BB cream and mascara and anything else

Like the other said its probably best to go makeupless than puy makeup on after class. I've noticed that even with waterproof makeup that the chlorine and chemicals I pool water still break it down even though the products state they are water proof. After class use a moisturizer, then a bb cream or a powder/compact foundation. then just mascra and a lippie. Also a colored brow gel is fast and easy too.

And I don't kniw if you need any ideas for wet hair after class but braids and buns are great and letting your hair dry naturally.

I agree with renay, I wouldn't wear makeup then after I would change, put on mascara, foundation/powder & a lippie.

Afterwards I just put on some elf tinted moisturizer with my hands, I don't worry about powder, and then I use my milani brow powder for my eyebrows and eyeshadow! Multi purpose use :))

I used to swim honestly it's a lot less hastle to just go makeup less and then apply it afterwards.

For after you swim, use a gentle face cleanser you like that doesn't irritate your skin. Apply some liner (I use CoverGirl's Ink It liner) and mascara. For your face a good moisturizer (try Garnier's Mositure Rescue Gel) and a bb cream. BB Cream is way faster to apply than foundation formulas. I use Garnier's BB Cream. I blend mine with baby powder to finish. This sounds like a lot but if you do it every day it can be done in a few mins!

1) googles. protects your eye makeup! 2) I like tarte waterproof amazonian clay eyeliner, Maybelline eyestudio gel liner, Maybelline the rocket waterproof mascara, and Maybelline 24 color tattoos. seal everything with shadows and your makeup will not move (assuming you have googles on). brows, I like nyx brow dup and wax or tarte brow mousse 3) for your face most stuff will stay. I use Maybelline bb cream, fit my concealer, essence powder and blushes. stays on for me!
