Humidity, sun showers and high temperatures aren’t things this long-wearing foundation can’t handle. The lightweight, oil-free formula is made to wick away moisture to prevent makeup from melting or fading. It can also double as a concealer in a pinch.

Best Waterproof Mascara

Eyeko’s award-winning formula is not only waterproof, but reinforced with fiber to add volume to your lashes. The clumping-free formula will take you well from your morning spin class to after-work happy hour.

Best Waterproof Liquid Lipstick

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar Liquid Lipstick, $12 Amazon

We love a good glossy lip color for summer, but it’s rare for them to survive happy hour before they melt your face. That’s why we recommend stocking up on these lip tars. Think gorgeous colors and intense pigments with staying power (ie. mother lasting power too). And since they last forever, a little definitely goes a long way. Bonus: They smell like mint, thanks to peppermint oil.

Best Waterproof Matte Lipstick

NYX Professional Makeup Full Throttle Lipstick, $7.99 Walmart

If you prefer matte lips, this waterproof lipstick should be your new go-to. But just because it’s matte doesn’t mean the color payoff isn’t important. The super-saturated hues come with a unique bullet with a beveled edge that lets you plump and fill your lips for the perfect pout.
