Memorial Day weekend is here! You know what that means? It’s basically summer, baby!
Pools are open, the smell of barbecue everywhere, sipping on margaritas as we soak in the sun, chilling on the beach with our sun kissed tans, listening to our favorite song playing as the sun sets. It’s the best time of the year.
Trying to stay fleek throughout summer? - yep, I hear ya’, the struggle is real!
There’s nothing worse than bossing your outfit and makeup at a pool party to later looking in the bathroom mirror and staring at yourself as your face and makeup has transformed into this hot sweaty mess - Ughh my face is definitely shining bright like a diamond right now!
Makeup that was flawless before now looks thick and shiny, and oh my god, that nose shine! What the hell, mascara smudging, flaking off and sticking onto your pre- insta-worthy eyeshadow look - oh we got that sweat-glow up alright!
But don't worry, these problems are easily fixable. Here’s how you can enjoy your day without worrying about retouching your makeup with these waterproof products, tips and hacks to keep your glam going!
No more makeup meltdowns, it’s time to slay your way through summer!
Here's your Memorial Day weekend makeup looks! Be patriotic and wear red, white and blue or keep it simple and natural. You Decide!
Wear this as a waterproof foundation or concealer that'll last for 24 hours!
It's tough waterproof formula has proven to be resistant to rain and tears - there's no budging this one! Long-lasting, oil-free, moisture repellent also gives you weightless coverage and a seamlessly blended natural satin finish. I want it!!
Customer Reviews
"Great for the high humidity in Texas. Really lasts all day!”
“After always using l’oreal foundation, I am now a fan of this one. I don’t like thick coverage, so this is perfect & having hypersensitive skin, this has been great”
This long-lasting formula is packed with color-matching pigments and delivers their highest foundation coverage in a powder - Hello 16 hours flawless looking skin!
It's creamy texture smoothly glides onto your skin giving you an easily blendable matte finish that won't smudge off during the day. Hell yeah!
Customer Reviews
"It's really opaque and leaves your face matte for the longest time, plus this powder lasted me a massive amount of time before I need to get another one - so you're definitely gonna be getting your money's worth!
Also, it lasts for hours on my face before it starts to crack or anything, so it's very seamless and looks 100% professional. I've tried a few other powders from Amazon and I promise you that this is the best one you can find, especially for this affordable price. So worth it!”
“The best powder I've ever been able to find for my super oily face. Have stopped wearing foundation because the coverage with this powder is so good at covering all my massive pores.”
Lash Sensational Waterproof Mascara from Maybelline will keep your lashes looking glam all day with no smudge and with its fanning brush of 10 layer bristles it reveals your eyes and make them pop.
The inner bristles capture the tiny inner lashes whilst the outer bristles volumize your lashes making them look longer and your eyes more defined. The liquid ink formula gives you a multiplied lash look without it clumping as you layer your lashes.
Customer Reviews
“I've used a lot of different mascaras, from higher end (benefit, clinique) to high street and I have to say this is the one I always come back to. It's nice and affordable and gives me the most voluminous, dark, thick and elongated lashes in just one layer!
I love the brush shape - the concave side is perfect for getting product onto your lashes to make them look nice and thick, and the convex side perfect for elongating your lashes. Honestly if you haven't tried this yet, give it a go - it's a big hit on YouTube and with beauty bloggers too and it really does live up to the hype.”
"Best mascara I've used! And I've tried A LOT of mascaras, including one that cost £20+, I'm mad about makeup so you can trust me on that!"
Waterproof mascara is bomb and an absolute life-saver during rainy days or workouts but it can be a real struggle later on when you want to take it off.
Too Faced introduced a mascara dissolver which includes cleansing oil that'll clean off mascara and get rid of those excess bits that just won't budge. Leaving your eyes mascara-free, refreshed and hydrated.
Revlon lash glue gives you a perfect professional finish. Use the lash glue with other false eyelashes.
It's easy to apply, dries clear and with its strong-hold ability, there will be no random lash-fall offs during your holiday. Get summer ready with this waterproof lash glue!
Customer Review
"The lashes went on perfectly easily and stayed in place until I took them off. It's incredible the difference buying decent glue made instead of using the stuff that comes along with some lashes. I was using really cheap lashes as well and this glue still made the application incredibly easy.”
“This is the best lash glue I've used. Keeps my lashes on all day. I coat my natural lash first with mascara and then apply my strips. Also easy to remove. This is by far the best I've used and I think I've tried most glues out there.”
If you're not confident putting false lashes on using lash glue, you should grab these false magnetic eye lashes. They're super easy to apply and with it's waterproof formula they're also long-lasting. Check out my product review here! (No.2)
Saved the best til last!
