'Holy. Grail!': Sweat-proof beauty products customers are raving about
With the warm weather finally taking hold across the country comes the dreaded summertime beauty problem: Makeup that’s caked, creased, smudged or just plain melted off.
Fortunately, there are products to help with this dilemma. If you find your makeup that looked great in the winter is starting to look not so cute in the heat, check out these sweat-defying products.
Buxom Lash Waterproof Volumizing Mascara
What it is: An ultra-defining, smudge-proof mascara that glides on amped-up lashes.
Customer Review: “I live and work in the Gulf coast of Texas where the humidity is mascara's biggest enemy. Every waterproof/smudge proof product I buy ends up on my under-eyes within an hour. Until now! I can't believe how it stays on all day, looks, and feels great. It doesn't clump, it definitely doesn't run or smudge, and it's not in the corners of my eyes. Fantastic product. I'm a customer for life.”
SHOP IT: Nordstrom, $30
Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation
What it is: A 24-hour liquid foundation with a flawless, natural, matte finish that unifies uneven skin tone and covers imperfections with buildable coverage.
Customer Review: “This stuff did not oxidize (a miracle!), did not budge, did not slip off when I broke a sweat, does not have a fragrant smell or weird heavy feeling. It is hands down the best (though one of the most expensive) foundations I've ever tried. Just do yourself a favour and buy it. It is a godsend for my oily, uneven toned skin and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Holy. Grail. Straight out of the gate.”
SHOP IT: Sephora, $50
Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner
What it is: A liquid liner that glides on with ease, won't skip, smudge, pull or run, and stays in place until you're ready to take it off.
Customer Review: “By far the best eyeliner I’ve used. Lasts forever, like seriously, 18+ hours with rough wear. Holds up through sweat, tears, humidity, eye rubbing, sleep, graveyard shifts at work, kids, the works. No smearing or smudging, no flaking, it just kind of goes away. It applies easily, basically like a sharpie for your eyelids.”
SHOP IT: Nordstrom, $30
Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue
What it is: A BB cream, a CC cream and a tinted moisturizer that leaves you with beautiful sheer-to-medium coverage and a radiant, smooth finish.
Customer Review: “I love this tinted moisturizer. It's easy to apply and is long lasting. I don't usually wear makeup so this product is great to wear when I want an even colour or when I'm trying to cover up some blemishes. It has a dewy finish and gives my face a nice glow without looking like I have anything on.”
SHOP IT: Nordstrom, $45
Laura Mercier Blush Colour Infusion
What it is: A long-wearing, sheer powder blush that provides up to 10 hours of buildable, natural-looking cheek colour for all skin tones.
Customer Review: “I love it. The colour applies smoothly and lasts for my entire day. I have tried MANY brands of blush and for me, the Laura Mercier brand works the BEST!”
SHOP IT: Sephora, $38
Too Faced Born This Way Setting Powder
What it is: A silky, lightweight powder that sets makeup and provides a veil of perfecting luminosity for a natural finish.
Customer Review: “Finally, a luminous finish for mature skin. I wear it with concealer for a natural look, or over my foundation for more coverage! It doesn't dry out my skin, and doesn't fade through out the day.”
SHOP IT: Nordstrom, $45
Morphe 35M Boss Mood Artistry Palette
What it is: A palette of holographic duo-chrome and creamy matte shades.
Customer Review: “Love it. The eye colours really sit well on my eye. It stays on the eye for the whole day. Little fall out. Blends well. All in all a really good product.”
SHOP IT: Sephora, $30
Fenty Stunna Lip Paint Longwear Fluid Lip Color
What it is: A weightless, long-wearing, liquid lipstick with a soft-matte finish—born in a range of head-turning shades that look incredible on all skin tones.
Customer Review: “Wore this amazing lip paint for 13 hours, with no touch ups, and I could’ve kept going. I had three meals (including Thanksgiving), and loads of drinks and IT STAYED ON. You only need one layer/swipe and you have full opacity. Worth every penny. And it looks good on every skin tone.”
SHOP IT: Sephora, $32
Urban Decay De-Slick Oil-Control Makeup Setting Spray
What it is: A weightless setting spray that helps makeup stay put, controls oil, and deflects surface shine.
Customer Review: “My all time summertime/party night fave! I have combination skin. So this is a must have during moments I know I will be exposed to hot humid climates/conditions! This keeps my makeup in check and at bay. Its formula is incomparable!”
SHOP IT: Sephora, $20

What it is: A bestselling brow pencil to transform shapeless, undefined brows with a few strokes—now available in 12 shades to flatter every hair colour.
Customer Review: “The pigment is perfect and it glides on like a dream, and the tip is so precise you can mimic actual brow hairs perfectly without effort. New holy grail must have. Try it once and you will fall in love! Thank you Benefit for slaying the brow game so hard!”
