Decide what you want from your makeup. Among the many formulations of makeup products on the market, different types have different purposes. Consider long-lasting foundation and lipstick with added SPF as well as waterproof mascara. These products are ideal for the beach, while meeting beauty needs. An entire beauty routine is not necessary, so use only those items that are the most important.

Try beach makeup out before heading outdoors. On a hot and humid day, apply what you think would be a good look for the beach and test it out. If you makeup survives, it may be the perfect combination for a day at fun in the water.

Avoid sticky or creamy products. Makeup like creamy foundations and ultra-shiny lip glosses can attract sand and flyaway hairs. Matte textures are best when looking for a foundation and stick with a tinted lip balm that is not gooey. The smoother the better when choosing any makeup product for the face.

Keep your makeup shades light and natural. Nothing looks more out of place than a woman with dark evening makeup on a sunny beach. Save the dark red lips for a date or later at a party. Opt for a pink or nude lip balm and pale eye shadow. A classic beach look equates to the least amount of makeup possible to look your best.
