Make-up in August

[sls404]

I went in August last year. I don't ever go makeup-less.

I suggest waterproof makeup foundation if you are going to use it. It rained ALOT. I used Clinique BB Acne Solutions BB cream because it is SPF 40 and it stays on like crazy. If you have really dry skin I wouldn't recommend it. But for combo skin it is fine.

For mascara I used (and use daily) Blinc primer and mascara. It doesn't smudge or come off except when you are ready to take it off. It forms an almost artificial lash on top of your own lash and then you just gently pull them off at the end of the day with warm water and a little pressure (hard to explain without actually using it). It is the best mascara for heat/humidity/water.

I did use a setting spray the first couple days I was there because I was expecting my face to melt off, but it really didn't and other than the pictures we took at night after we'd been out running through the rain, my makeup stayed put pretty well.

I use the same type of "tubes" mascara (L'Oreal Double Extend) and it has changed my life!! I have always had smudging problems, even with waterproof and $30-$40 mascaras. I always ended up with dark under eyes no matter what I did! Then I found this mascara and it's just amazing. I have been using it for years and it's less than $10.
