Ladies: Make Up Questions

[Calkacky]

For you ladies who are experienced cruisers and who wear makeup even while participating in water activites, what waterproof makeup do you use? I'm looking for any and all suggestions. Thanks!

I thought this was going to be a new game! Making up questions. :p

 

I use only some waterproof mascara- Maybelline- and a bit of regular foundation which washes away as soon as I am wet.

I thougt it was about making up questions too. LOL Make up, I use Mary Kay, but I don't think it's water proof.

Urban decay eyeliner and eye shadow base (gel potion/genie in a bottle) are excellent in waterproof formulas. The eyeliners come in fun and funky colors as well. Readily available at Sephora.

 

For a base I usually get Nutragena's tinted sunscreen. Comes in fair, light, medium, dark and ethnic. Drug stores.

 

I then use mineral bronzer for blush. Any eye shadow over the base will stay on and then plain old maybelline (pink/green bottle) waterproof mascara.

I just started using Eyeko London Skinny Brush Mascara. It was recommended to me at Sephora when I asked about waterproof mascara. So far I like it a lot. I've worn it swimming a couple times. :)

I love Mally's mascara and eyeliner...."it's bulletproof mama!" :D

Won't come off until you take it off!

[Calkacky]

Nope, no fun new game of making up questions! :D

 

Thanks for the suggestions. I need to look into these. I will no doubt have makeup On at some point that I come in contact with water and want to be prepared.

I actually don't bring any water proof makeup. I wear my normal every day stuff and touch up as necessary.

Another vote for Maybelline Waterproof Mascara.

 

Using it for years and has yet to fail me...:o

I get my lashes and brows tinted a couple of days before the cruise (so I don't have to worry about mascara for the whole cruise) and get the therapist to do them a couple of shades darker than usual - the sun and water means the colour fades faster.

 

You can now buy temporary tattoo eyeliner. I haven't been game enough to try it, the application sounds too tricky for me.

There was recently a similar post on the Fashions & Beauty board with some great suggestions:

For foundation, I highly recommend Tarte's Amazonian clay 12-hour full coverage foundation SPF 15, followed by Tarte's Amazonian clay pressed mineral powder.

 

I agree with the suggestion for Urban Decay's primer potion and eyeliners for eye makeup.

Just started wearing L'Oreal this summer. So far has stood up well to swimming, tears and daily wear. Doesn't irritate my contacts either.

simple fix .. just dont take any makeup :D

For lashes, I found Hard Candy Lash Ink (at Walmart, recommended on the Dr.Oz show). A little more water/sweat resistant than regular waterproof mascara. The Shu Uemura lash curler is the best!

 

I had eyeliner tattooed several years ago, but the lines were super thin and have faded.....and on the upper lids it hypopigmented, so now I have thin white eyeliner :p

 

I don't even try to wear a lot of makeup in hot weather situations, but I use a gel blush and powder eye shadow (with mascara) on "elegant" nights.

If I'm out by the pool or doing an excursion with water involved, I don't even bother wearing makeup.

 

For those of you who wear the super waterproof mascaras, what do you use to remove?

[susie8862]

Good old Vaseline:o

A few I use are Almay (round pads soaked in the solution) and BeautiControl. But I have also resorted to cold cream or an emoliant lotion and a warm wash cloth.

My DH always tells me not to worry about make up; nobody on the ship will see me after a week and then they would never say anything to my face!

That's my DH, he'd rather I never wear make up. But I wear it for me, I feel more attractive when I am "made up." On excursions that involve water, I do limit what I wear- mostly just a sunscreen. Onboard I figure I can run back to our cabin for touch ups.

I do the same thing as another poster, get my lashes tinted before I go. I took the BB cream last time and it doesn't seem to come off as much as regular foundation.

I then use mineral bronzer for blush. Any eye shadow over the base will stay on and then plain old maybelline (pink/green bottle) waterproof mascara.

 

Where do you get the mineral bronzer for blush, and what brand is it?

During the day? Forget it. Sunscreen. And sunscreen. Then more sunscreen. (I burn easy.) Then a good shower to wash off the seemingly inch thick layer of sunscreen I've accumulated during the day.

[sweetsixteencruisers]

I don't wear make up in the sun. I wear bare minerals at night after I have washed off all the sunscreen.

Yet another thing we have in common :D

 

I not only burn easilly, but if I don't use sunscreen, I get an itchy rash.....and sometimes even if I DO wear sunscreen :mad::mad:
