How to get your outdoor makeup to last all day for Waterbomb Singapore

HOT STUFF

1/8

Just like how our face and body needs shielding from UV rays, our hair also require protection from the heat. Try Sachajuan Hair In The Sun, $55, a multitasker that contains UV protectants and filters to minimise damage from sun, saltwater and chlorine, so you can enjoy the outdoors, worry free. 

If you’re on the hunt for a fuss-free, low-maintenance formula to bring life back to lacklustre strands without the use of damaging hot tools, consider incorporating Briogeo Style + Treat Yuzu + Plum Oil Soft Power Air Dry Cream, $43, into your hair care routine. It keeps frizz at bay while boosting shine, without weighing down your locks. 

BARE NECESSITIES

While SPF is a non-negotiable in your skincare routine, sweltering days call for more diligent and thorough sun protection as we perspire more. Opt for water-resistant sunscreens such as Biore UV Athlizm Protect Essence SPF50+ PA++++, $19.90, that is specifically formulated with a water-repellent powder that stays intact even under extreme conditions such as high temperatures of up to 40°C and humidity levels of 75 per cent. 

Another long-lasting option is Shiseido Urban Environment Triple Beauty Suncare Emulsion SPF50+ PA++++, $68, that harnesses a unique patented Sun Dual Care technology that draws on sunlight to nourish skin. Enriched with antioxidants and hyaluronic acid, this sunscreen also combats environmental pollutants. 

Follow up with Bobbi Brown Weightless Skin Foundation, from $48, that offers a long-lasting coverage, while still imparting a comfortable, second-skin feel. It also controls shine – with oil-absorbing silicas – without drying out the skin thanks to the addition of skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerine and honey extract. 

If you need to refresh your base makeup, keep a cushion foundation like Givenchy Prisme Libre Skin-Caring Glow Cushions, $114, handy and lightly tap the applicator on areas where you desire more coverage. The foundation boasts an impressive 24-hour wear as well as glow-inducing ingredients such as nasturtiumm (watercress) and cherry blossom extract.

Instead of reaching for heavy matte formulas, enliven your complexion and lighten up your warm-weather makeup look with sheer, watery formulas such as the Hourglass Unreal Liquid Blush, $59, to let your natural skin peek through. Meanwhile, KVD Beauty Good Apple Blush Balm, $52, has a creamy consistency that blends seamlessly into the skin to deliver a glowy, lit-from-within flow. 

Rare Beauty Stay Vulnerable Liquid Eyeshadow, $33, is a blendable, water-resistant formula that will still hold up even when smudged slightly by perspiration. Next, coat your lashes with a waterproof mascara like Lancome Idole Lash Waterproof, $61, that is made with 125 different bristle sizes to create that separated, fanned-out look. Go in with an equally long-wearing eyeliner such as Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pencil, $21, a highly pigmented formula that is designed to last throughout the day.

Add a modern twist to the classic winged liner look with a stroke of glittery pink eyeliner on the bottom lash line. You can keep the rest of your makeup simple and bare, or go bold with oversaturated cheeks. Pro tip: Lock everything in place with a spritz of setting mist.

Neon green is having a major moment thanks to British singer Charli XCX’s new album “Brat”. The easiest way to incorporate the hue is to play up one facial feature – like your eyes – with a generous wash of chartreuse. Keep your base clean to let the vivid hue take centre stage. Create a “Brat” eye look that will make Julia Fox proud by applying a small amount of liquid converter/makeup sealant to your eyeshadow brush. This will turn the pigment into liquid form, so it stays waterproof.

Elevate your eye makeup look with a cloud-like graphic liner. For a subtle, more wearable take on the trend, opt for softer, pastel hues. Prep your eyelids with an eyeshadow primer and opt for a waterproof coloured eyeliner for best results.

Maximum impact, minimal effort. Dress up your eyelids with a whisper of pearlescent blue shadow. A subtle nude pout and glossy skin complements the peepers.

TURN UP THE HEAT

Fake a sun-kissed look without exposing your skin to sun damage by applying blush liberally across your cheeks and temples. To keep your makeup from slipping and sliding, opt for a long-wearing cheek tint that will leave behind a pretty stain even if it starts to wear off when you’re out and about. Compared to powder blushers, cream and liquid formulas impart a more radiant, skin-like finish.
