Waterproof Your Face

With the temperatures at a record high and many families about to take their final summer vacations, it is very important for woman to feel comfortable outside. Beauty and Wellness Contributor Dayle Haddon visits The Early Show to talk about waterproof and water-resistant makeup.

The following are her recommendations on products that women can use while they are outdoors, during exercise, at emotional occasions (weddings), and even when they swim!

FOUNDATION & CONCEALER:

Many women do not like to leave home without the extra coverage of a foundation. But in summer, because of the humidity and high temperatures, the foundation does not really last.

With water resistant and waterproof foundation products, women remain covered.

Product: Era Face Spray on Foundation by Classified Cosmetics ($55)
  • Water-resistant, sweat-proof, oil-free aerosol foundation
  • Mists a wash of color onto the skin for a "airbrush" finish with no blending required
  • Many surgeons recommend this product for people that might have newly healing skin, gives everyone the opportunity to remain covered up
  • Can help freckles, moles,birthmarks,scars,tattoos,varicose veins,stretch marks, skin discoloration to remain under cover
  • Comes in 10 shades for all skin types
  • Included is cosmetic puff and headwrap
  • Found in Fred Segal, Bendels, specialty stores & exclusive department stores
Not all women want that much coverage but don't want to go out with a "naked" face. Clinique makes two great products, both of them with a built- in SPF 15. If you just want to go for the bare minimum, go for a waterproof concealer and just dab it around your eye area.
