Waterproof Makeup: Keep Your Makeup in Place When It’s Raining
Over the years, I have learned a few tricks and found a few product that help makeup last through various forms of attack by water—be it sweat from extreme temperatures, water at the beach or the winter rain we are currently experiencing.
1. Primer
This magic potion helps makeup stay in place and prevents skin care (moisturizers and serums) from leaving the skin.

A foundation that repels water is a must.
