Waterproof cosmetics are just what they say they are,cosmetics that are unaffected by water.You can only find them in high end cosmetic shops.Here is what you need to know about this type of make up then you can decide whether it is right for you or not.Waterproof make up is formulated with the same ingredients as traditional cosmetics,only with an added ingredient that makes it resistant to moisture.Waterproof formulas are most often available in foundations,eye shadows and eyeliners,lipsticks and mascaras.However,these cosmetics are not right for everyone and there are things you will need to know before buying them.It is not a good idea to wear waterproof cosmetics every day since these products are resistant to moisture hence they are difficult to remove.You will need a strong soap or make up remover.Since removing waterproof make up can be more irritating to the skin than the make up itself,experts recommend that you use these cosmetics sparingly especially if you have a sensitive skin.You should preferably only use water proof cosmetics when your face will be exposed to moisture,for instance,if you are going for swimming or during a holiday at the coast where you will be sweating a lot,or a wedding or funeral where you know crying may happen.Beauty experts recommend that you save the waterproof cosmetics for occasions such as these instead of everyday use.If you have any history of eye allergies,skin problems around the eyes,or sensitive skin,it is better to avoid these cosmetics as this might worsen the problem.Waterproof cosmetics can also be tricky to apply.Many types of waterproof foundations set rather quickly,requiring you to apply it in quick,light strokes and to add additional layers when appropriate.Before applying waterproof mascara,it is a good idea to wipe off the wand with a bit of paper towel to ensure that it does not clump during application.It is harder to comb away the clumps than regular mascara formulas.At the end of the day,it is important to remove all make up before going to bed to avoid break outs on your skin and breakage of your eyelashes.Waterproof make up can be more challenging to remove,since washing with water is not enough.Look for make up remover that is specifically designed to remove waterproof make up.Also note that the make up remover that you use on your eyes should not be used on the rest of your face.You will probably need two types of removers to get all of your daily products cleaned away.Baby oil can also make an effective eye make up remover.Put a bit on a cotton pad and gently wipe your lids and lashes in a downward direction until every bit of eye shadow and mascara has come off.Make up removal tips1.Invest in a good,oil free eye make up remover.Keep in mind that there are products out there are products out there that should not go near your eyes,so to be on the safe side,use something specifically made to remove eye make up.2.If you are looking for a cheap,safe,quick and easy eye make up remover,go for baby shampoo.All you have to do is splash some warm water on your eyes,put a tiny bit of shampoo on your fingers and rub them on your eyes.Olive oil also removes waterproof mascara very easily.3.Using petroleum jelly to to remove eye make up works even better than chemical removers and it does not sting if it gets into your eye.Simply put some on the end of a cotton bud and use it to get off that eyeliner.However,keep in mind that this works best with regular make uo and may not be very effective with waterproof brands.
