Waterproof Makeup

What would a bollywood film be like without the ever popular rain sequence? More importantly, how do bollywood makeup artists keep the new breed of actresses looking camera-ready, especially when dealing with high temperatures (which leads to perspiration) and water?

Traditionally, waterproof makeup has ingredients such as silicone or dimethicone copolyol, which help the makeup adhere to the face. This requires you to use harsher cleansers because normal makeup removers do not work. Using these products once in a while is satisfactory, but on a more regular basis, it could result in the loss of your skin's natural oils which protect you against pollution and sunburn. Fortunately, this season's high-tech beauty trend- waterproof makeup, seems to have overcome this problem.

Here are a few colours that will keep you looking radiant throughout the summer months so that you can hang out at the beach and still look fabulous!

BMW Tip: If you really don't want to go out and buy more waterproof products since, let's face it, the economy isn't doing too well, then you can use a trick used by makeup artists shooting on location. Use milk of magnesia sparingly on a cotton ball and pat all over face- allow it to dry for 30 seconds and then apply all makeup (eye shadow, foundation, blush, etc.) as you would normally. Voila- your makeup is waterproof!
