By Becca Gregg

Most of us can agree that nine times out of ten, makeup on the beach is an unspoken beauty don’t. It’s safe to say that makeup and water don’t always go hand in hand. After all, what’s sexy about raccoon-esque eyes and pores clogged by an unflattering concoction of caked foundation and sweat? That being said, you may not be ready for your new beau to see you makeup-free quite yet (unless, of course, it’s a Makeup Free Monday!) and who wants to pass up a steamy sea-side getaway for fear of a makeup-meltdown?

Bottom line: the last thing you need is for your eyeliner to melt and run at the first drop of moisture or for your fear of mascara trickling down your cheeks to keep you from taking a dip in the pool.  Even if a lounge chair is (regrettably) far from your summer plans, you are nevertheless bound to experience the effects of the heat, humidity and other everyday blunders that can instantly ruin a flawless face… leaving the efforts we put into it nearly down the mascara tube.
