How to Apply Makeup for the Beach

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Fashion and tans aren't the only qualities a girl should need when going to the beach. Knowing how to apply natural makeup is also essential to look your best on the sand.

Steps

1. Lightly spread a SPF cream (at least 20) or oil free moisturizer around your face. Don't use too much moisturizer/cream and avoid using anything heavier than 20 or the cream may cause the makeup applied to slide off.
   
2. Dab a little of a silicon-based primer to your eyelids and lips. This helps your lipstick and eye makeup last throughout the day.
   
3. Apply oil-free or silicon-based foundation around your face.
   
4. Use an eyeshadow brush and brush a little of waterproof cream or powder eyeshadow over each eyelid.
   
5. Streak waterproof, silicon-based eyeliner right above your lashes.
   
6. Use your normal mascara as usual and then apply a waterproof based mascara on top of it as a coat.
   
7. Dab a gentle layer of neutral color, silicon-based lipstick. Then coat your lips with a SPF balm to protect your lips from the sun rays.
   

Tips

• Be sure that you use waterproof or silicon based. Silicon based products keeps the makeup in place.
  
• Blot any excess makeup with blotting paper. It's really handy to keep in your beach bag.
  
• To look your best, always use neutral colors according to your skin color.
