We've just returned from a trip to the beach and I am happy to report that my
Pur Minerals 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup passed the sand and sun test! Even after swimming in the Atlantic (which, by the way, showed mercy and only tossed a few taller-than-me waves in my direction) my makeup was, surprisingly, intact! Not only did my foundation stay where I'd coaxed it this morning, but my shadow, liquid liner and mascara were un
wavering as well! I am still unsure how, as I had a couple of
close encounters of the wave kind, but I was quite pleased when I evaluated the results.
The Pur Minerals 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup's performance was quite im
pressive, however, there is an option for those who have yet to hop on the mineral makeup bandwagon but want a less heavy look and feel during beachy summer days. Try this simple solution that will help your liquid foundation transition, when being completely made-up is not necessarily the look that you're going for:
Mix a non-greasy formula sunscreen like
Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock with your foundation, then apply as you would normally. The product should be about one part sunblock and two to three parts foundation, allowing for coverage while protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays. Your foundation will instantly be more beach and pool friendly, and with a quick dust of finishing powder or veil, you will be ready for the sun and sand!
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 30 $8.66
Buh bye, Beach Bunny!
