Rainy Day Make-up By Eli Wakamatsu

Today, I would like to talk about 'Water resistant make up' to share with you in showery London. (And any other parts of the world, it seems we're not the only ones!)

This can also apply to the Pool/Beach make up and the Hot and Sweaty summer make up tips.

The first thing I ask with 'waterproof make up' is Do you need to wear foundation ?

If so, invest one like DiorSkin Forever new formula with its extension of super skin care  that are long lasting, sweat proofing coverage or Clinique's Almost Makeup SPF 15 which contain anti oxidants and gives chemical free protection to your skin as well as oil free long wear natural skin perfecter.

If you desire more coverage that lasts a long time without fading or streaking in wet weather, try Clinique's Superfit Makeup, again oil free.

Next the Cheeks and eyes...There is much more water proof point make up available nowadays and the quality of them is just incredibly good, they are durable to apply and come in very wearable colours.

I recently contributed for the Artist Edits page fo Becca, and the brand has my favourite perfectly beautiful cheek and eye cream tints which are water resistant and streak free.

These easily blendable tints can be applied by finger tip or brush, and can be layered.

There are many water proof mascara in the market, so it's about finding the one with the wand to suits your eye shape, if you have almond shape eye like mine, with short eyelashes, try a thinner wand type rather than thick types.

A ball shape wand like Givenchy Phenomen`Eyes Mascara BLACK is great.

If you have big eyes with long lashes, you will need a thick brush.

Finally, if you are still worried for your make up in watery or steamy conditions or by the pool and beach, You can try Clarin's Fix' Make-Up mist to sets the make up and prolongs it's hold with continuous hydration.

After the Rain, comes the Sun, enjoy !
