Sweat-Proof: Make-Up, Lotions, and Hair Products

On a weekend escape, I liked a pair of cat-eye sunnies linen trousers that were flow-y, a rooftop barbecue with views, along with the best bits of summer. It was high noon, and all was well… until the ick factor started to install.  In a swoop, mascara melted my head down, my hair frizzed out into the moon, and my skin felt just like a mess.

Certainly, my beauty routine had failed. I wanted. After scouring the stores and consulting with friends, I came up with all the very best sweat-proof products for hair, makeup and creams. Here is the listing:

Sweat Proof Beauty Products

OlayFresh Effects Flawless Finish BB Cream, $9.59 from Target

By minimizing your makeup routine, your skin will benefit. Of the flaws are covered by this BB cream while still protecting and moisturizing with SPF. Plus it is going to shave minutes off your morning routine.

Rimmel London $ 5.99 from Ulta, Stay Matte Primer

If the thought of leaving home with no base makes you sweat, don’t worry– there’s still a sweat-proof alternative!  Prep your skin using a primer to offer a base while keeping your skin in the shine-free zone more.

Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof Mascara, $5.99 from Ulta

The mac daddy of waterproof mascara!   All my cosmetics artist friends swear by the pink tube. Put in the morning for a full day with no smudge. Watch it wash away at night with a dab of petroleum free make up remover.

e.l.f. HD Blush, Superstar, $3.00 from Drugstore.com

It is time to put away your powders, and switch to a cream flavour. The mixture won’t pop up from the heat, and requires just a little colour to get a summer glow.

Nexxus 5 Ounce, Youth Renewal Rejuvenating Dry Shampoo, $14.23 from Amazon

Say hello. For consuming extra oil in your hair so it will absorb all excess sweat dry shampoos work wonders.  Mist on a few sprays, and say bye bye to locks.

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Intensely Smooth Leave In Conditioning Cream

This is an absolute requirement. Apply to damp hair then don’t rinse.  The key to maintaining the frizzies at bay is to not touch your hair until it’s dry.

Neutrogena Clear Face Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 55, $10.99 from Drugstore.com

The reality that you need to wear sunscreen daily could possibly be bad news for those prone to breakout from the humidity. An oil free sunscreen goes on light, and won’t leave your skin feeling sticky. Fantastic news for the ones that want protection without any pore clogging oils.
