Foundation, mascaras, lipsticks… there is a wide range of makeup suited to our summer needs. Do you have sensitive skin? No problem !

So, let's get down to the basics and decipher waterproof makeup in the guide that follows!

Preparation for makeup is an essential step that should not be overlooked

Regardless of whether it is makeup as is or waterproof products, the preparation of the skin is a key element which consists of three absolutely important steps:

• Preparation of the face: start by removing all the impurities from your face by cleaning it well with your favorite product, provided that it is suitable for your skin type. This step will make your waterproof makeup more durable and more "stable".
• Hydration: Give your skin the optimal hydration it needs by applying your moisturizing day cream with, of course, SPF. Choose products without oils to avoid clogging the pores and wait until the skin absorbs the cream well before applying makeup.
• Water resistant products tend to be "heavy" and "dry". The use of primer therefore facilitates their application and allows them to last longer. In addition to tightening pores and absorbing fat, the primer also creates a protective barrier for the skin.

This little trick will give you a very natural look, but on condition that you don't overdo it! Choose liquid bronzers with shiny particles that will give your face unparalleled radiance.
