Let's face it -- pool parties and heavily-applied mascara don't mix. Sure, you could show up to the pool completely barefaced, but we makeup mavens know that'll happen when hell freezes over... or MAC goes out of business. But instead of avoiding cannonball splashes like the plague, praying that no one will tip your float and send you overboard, or inevitably looking like your face is totally melting off, why not just make sure you're prepared? Waterproof beauty doesn't work miracles (in other words, don't expect to go snorkeling and still look like you just applied), but it does do wonders when it comes to keeping your makeup fresh despite heavy moisture and splashing that would normally make it run down your face! Come see my slideshow of waterproof beauty picks that'll keep you covered through the wettest of summer days!
Rock Matte Blue Eye Makeup Like Leona Lewis!

While matte blue shadow and/or liner may conjure up nightmarish visions of Mimi from The Drew Carey Show, or horrendously dated beauty trends in general, you may be surprised to find that when done right, matte blue makeup can look sophisticated and not tacky! For example, Leona Lewis' peepers totally popped on the red carpet with a bright teal liner on just the inner rims of her eyes -- after all, when it comes to bold color, less is more unless you're going for a GaGa-esque statement. If turquoise isn't your thing, you can also opt for matte navy blue nails, or try a blue take on the traditional smoky eye with Cover Girl's double-sided ShadowBlast stick.
