Do You Wear Makeup to the Beach?

We understand wanting to look flawless at the beach and how this can be a struggle due to makeup that can’t hold up against the elements. This is why we’ve picked our favorite lash and brow services fit for the sand and waves, and the best beach day makeup tricks that will help you look AND feel gorgeous!
5 Beach Day Makeup Hacks
Whether you prefer a simple look or a full face of makeup, it’s possible to look fabulous at the beach with these easy tips:
- Wear sunscreen—Arguably the most important part of your beach day routine is sunscreen. Think of sunscreen as your beach day primer. While your makeup may include some SPF, the ultimate protection comes from applying sunscreen with at least SPF 15 under your makeup.
- Use neutral eyeshadow—Avoid raccoon eyes from your dripping eyeshadow. 🌊 Stay away from dark or colorful eye shadow and instead pick colors that match your natural skin tones, especially if you are planning to swim. Try to use a cream-based palette instead of powder to help it stay on and blend with your skin.
- Go light on the foundation—Time spent in the heat can quickly make your face makeup look cakey and overdone. Instead, try a tinted sunscreen or moisturizer with SPF. BONUS TIP—Pat, don’t rub, your foundation on—especially if you’re reapplying over existing makeup. This will help it appear sheer and blend with your existing makeup rather than look cakey.
- Skip lipstick and gloss—Sticky makeup on your lips can quickly get messy with the mixture of sand and heat on your beach day. Instead, try a tinted lip moisturizer and one that includes SPF to keep your pout protected!
- Brighten your beach makeup look with bronzer or blush—To top off your summer look, apply a little bronzer to your temples and even a little blush along your cheekbones. A bronzer and blush duo can give you an instant sun-kissed glow!
