Waterproof Goods to Keep Bikini Babes Beautiful. As much as we love summer sun and ocean waves, they make it a bit challenging to keep up appearances (wink, wink.) Unless, of course, you choose waterproof products that really perform. Thankfully, we at The Beauty Ideal have gathered the very best of waterproof makeup this spring season. So, get ready to hit the sand and stay gorgeous with these beach–tote-ready beauty goodies. All you need is a cushy towel, a dishy novel and you’re good to go.

‘Fun’ green and white polka dot bikini with pink buckle, $78.

Girls who need a little coverage, even in the surf and sand, should give Make Up For Ever’s Mat Velvet + Mattifying Foundation a go. The slim, one ounce bottle contains a shine and oil controlling foundation that offers medium coverage in sixteen shades (hallelujah to that!) and is completely water resistant. Get yours at www.sephora.com for $34.

If foundation’s not your bag for the beach, try Sugar’s Tropic Tan Illuminating Liquid Bronzer.
The lightweight and sheer formula adds just the right amount of golden bronze shimmer yet doesn’t clog a pore. $35 at www.beauty.com

tarte knows the way to this girl’s heart and it’s lengthening, volumizing, wrapped in denim and embroidered with a golden anchor (but of course). lights, camera and splashes is entirely waterproof thanks to the addition of paraffin, which also helps to volumize lashes, lengthen, and curl. $18 at www.beauty.com.

Eyeliner may be a bit much for the beach, we admit it. But sometimes, a bit much is just the right amount (particularly if you’re an Italian Leo like me.) If you’re not concerned with appearing a tad high maintenance, Lancome’s Le Stylo Waterproof Eyeliner is for you. It stays put through a quick dip or even a sweaty (er, glistening) game of volleyball. Available in seven colors from basic to bold (Green Buzz, anyone?), you can find it at www.lancome.com for $23.
