need waterproof make-up for broken out skin - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

AliasJaneDoe · 04-10-2005, 01:30 PM

Does anybody know a good make-up that can cover blotchy redness and pimples that's waterproof? Also something that won't totally break me out would be good. I heard you can spray hairspray over your regular make-up to waterproof it, but this sounds like an invitation for acne. Anybody tried it? What kind of hairspray would you use? Anyway, I want to go snorkling and not come out grose, streaked, and with pimples glaring.

I use neutrogena foundation (i use to use almay but didnt like the smell) It has a 15spf I believe, Im not 100%, but I really like that, it's suppose to have acne fighting things in it. Both cost about 10 bucks, but it is worth it.

Waterproof wise, just look on the labels while shopping in makeup isles. I just bought some mabaline blackish/brown mascara and it said waterproof right on the bottle and on the package, ive been using that stuff on and off and i like it. You'll need eye makeup remover to get it off otherwise it'll still be there the next day!

I havent found waterproof eye liner, but I really like the cover girl brand, it's not like the colored pencil its like a plastic thing and you twist the end for the eye liner to come out and it has a little white spongy like thing on the other end. I use black onyx im sure they are all good but i go for black.

Oh also, on some days that my acne isnt even bad i just skip the foundation. I figure it's better to let my face breath and do its thing then have stuff caked all over it? I think that helps a lot too.

Lucky! I need to wear foundation to control the oil and hide overall redness. And my skin actually stays clearer when I wear make-up (no idea why, maybe it soaks up the oil or something). Also, I don't care about lipstick or eye make-up. I just want bye-bye redness and pimples, ya know? And while tons of mascara have a waterproof version, I've never seen a base or concealer that claim to be.

Hi

I just made a post about Dermablend. It is waterproof and smear proof. It is also good for covering up imperfections on your skin. That's the original reason it was sold. I've worn it and it lasted all day with me sweating and stuff. I've never worn it to swim, but again, that's what it says you can do on their page. Do a search and read about it. I paid about $18 dollars for the base and about the same for the powder. You need the powder to make it waterproof. It is also a full coverage makeup. Hope this helps some.

Do you have to buy Dermablend online? How do you know what color to get? And what makes their powder special? $18 for powder seems pretty pricey. And would you mind swimming or dunking your face in the sink and then patting dry and letting me know if it actually works like it claims? And what type of skin do you have?
