I think I don’t need to tell you anymore how much our weather calls for waterproof makeup products. When it’s really warm outside, I could sweat a bucket just by standing in my room doing almost nothing. Putting on makeup becomes a struggle because most of them melt off before I finish putting the whole thing on my face 😀 Not to mention having to be outdoor when the sun is out in full force. With this kind of humidity, I find it almost impossible for my makeup, especially the one on my eyes, to stay put without using waterproof and heat resistant ones.
But even though it seems obvious to me, I’m quite surprised that there are many women out there who don’t use waterproof makeup. Most of them understand the benefits but are also hesitant to use waterproof makeup because of the common misconception that “waterproof makeup is hard to remove.” To this, I only have one thing to say. Get a good makeup remover! Just click the “makeup cleanser” tag or visit this forum thread, you will find something that suits your needs.
Anyway, if you need more convincing, let me present to you 5 scenarios where waterproof makeup will truly save the day.
Come Rain or Come Shine
Yes, living in this country means heavy rain can suddenly come with very little warning and sometimes you have to brace the rain to get wherever you need to go. That happened to me once, where I was in the office getting ready to leave for a meeting when suddenly, rain started to pour really hard. Because we didn’t have any indoor parking, I had no choice but to run under the rain to get to my car. My hair, shoes and clothes were damp, but my makeup stayed perfectly intact, including my colorful eyeliner (I was using Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner).
