7 Swim-Proof Makeup Products For Spring Break
You may be out on vacation for Spring Break, but it's time for your makeup to go to work. Between sun rays and pool days, your skin needs to look great and stay healthy. Here's the best swim-proof makeup for spring break so you can keep your face on no matter how hard you party.
There's a misconception that if you plan on hitting the pool, you can't wear any makeup. No, ma'am! With waterproof formulas and SPF-packed foundations, there is no reason why you can't take a dip with your glammed up face on. Plus, SPF products protect your skin while keeping you looking fresh. What's not to love?
Primers, shadow sealants, and long-wearing formulas are everywhere these days. You can find a range of water-friendly products in different colors and formulation options, from the drugstore to your favorite high-end department store. The makeup helps you look ready for your Instagram close-up, of course, but it also acts as a barrier between your skin and sun exposure, wind, sand, and sweat.
Below are some of my favorite swim-proof products for your spring vacation. If you're skiing, hiking, or volunteering this break, these will stand up and stay on no matter what you're up to.
