It can be tricky to get the perfect makeup look for a beach date. It can get too cakey with the wrong layering or unbalanced if your makeup is too bright under the sun. The key to the perfect beach look is to keep it light, bronzed and balanced. Here's a few tips on how you can get that look on point!
Sunscreen Is Non Negotiable
Slather on as much sunscreen as you can before you hit the beach. Use SPF 30 or higher and reapply every 3-4 hours. Sun damage causes premature aging and skin problems.
Set Aside The Powders
Powder products won't withstand beach humidity and heat. Gel, liquid and cream products are easier to wash off and they won't look cakey when pores open in the sun, reducing acne risk.
Keep It All Waterproof
Choose waterproof mascara and brow pencils to withstand water exposure without smudging or running.
Pick The Perfect Bronzer
Bronzer enhances the beach aesthetic. Choose a bronzer in a natural or slightly tanned shade without shimmer to avoid looking harsh in sunlight. Apply to eyelids, cheekbones, and cheeks for a sculpted glow.
Lip Balms All The Way
Skip glosses and mattes; they become messy with sand and water. Your best option is a lip balm or a lip tint with SPF 30+ for protection.
