Make Up Games and the Beach


I’m aware that it’s not especially clever to wear make up to the beach where you’ll really just be focusing on swimming and playing around with friends, but as we all know, there are boys at the beach and it’s important to look our best while we’re there. So, it’s great to throw on a bit of make up before you head to the beach to be sure you’re looking great and still able to play the way you want to.

Skip any foundation or powder. Your sweat underneath this coating of make up will feel gross and might make you break out. Use a tinted sunscreen on your face instead to protect you from the sun and to give you a bit of color. Look for one that’s waterproof if you can find one, but if you have to choose, opt for the waterproof sunscreen over the moisturizer. Then apply a lip balm with some sunscreen in it to protect the sensitive skin there. Your final step is a swipe of waterproof mascara for your eyes. Now you look a bit more pulled together but can splish and splash without worry.
