July to August is prime-time sweat-proof makeup wearing season, but with so many options (mascaras, foundations, shadows and pretty much every other product under the sun), it's a tough job to narrow in on what to apply and when. Luckily, E! Style Collective resident beauty pro Ashley Rebecca weighed in on what watertight formulas work for every summer sweat scenario.
First, it's important to note that stay-put makeup isn't a permanent solution, but it is a good tool for prolonging carefully applied makeup on hot and humid days. We're specifically looking for products with polymers, "a molecule that gives products wearability, but also evaporates after application so that makeup stays put without being heavy," said Ashley.
For sweaty workouts: For summer workouts, like hikes, swims or tennis matches, Ashley recommended going au naturel, opting just for just a swipe of waterproof mascara on your top lashes for a melt-free look. (Pair with BB cream, sunscreen and lip color if you want to add to the look.)
For day-to-day: While you certainly can swap out all of your products for their all-weather counterparts, Ashley suggested keeping it simple for everyday summer wear and sticking to just waterproof mascaras, eyebrow tints and foundations because those are "staple products for staple features."
For special events: For occasions where you're going for a more done-up full face and want to keep yourself photo-ready, you can essentially substitute your entire routine with waterproof versions. When you're dressing to impress, say for an outdoor wedding, a festive daytrip to the beach with friends or any other Instagrammable affair—these are your go-to lock-it-in product recommendations.
