Lounging by the pool never looked so good, as proven by this season’s #CalyxtaGirl, Janine Gutierrez. We know it’s daunting to try splashing around with a full face of makeup (in this heat, no less!), but we found a way to get Janina’s bright-eyed summer glow to stick!
Sizzling in the summer sun and taking a dip in the pool are certified makeup death traps, so for this look, we’re aiming for lightweight, water-resistant products that won’t budge. Take a look at our recommendations to nail the look:
1. Sunscreen has a bad reputation of being too thick and heavy under makeup, which is an absolute nightmare for those wanting to feel fresh and comfortable while basking in the sun. Luckily, the Face Republic Super Screen Sun Gel comes in a handy tube that is both easy to use and extra sheer on the skin!
2. Having a trustworthy foundation to cover your blemishes while staying strong in the Philippine heat is key. L’Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte 24hr Foundation has a lightweight formula that combats oil and is waterproof to boot! Extra tip: skip the powder bronzer. Powder and pool are two words that should not be used in the same sentence! Use foundation a few shades darker under your cheekbones instead to lightly sculpt your face and get that bronze-y glow without the bronzer!
3. If you want to keep your brow game strong like Janine and take a dip at the same time, try the Milani Stay Put Brow Color. Fill in your brows and accentuate those arches with light hair-like strokes for a full and bushy look. It’s longwearing and waterproof, so you don’t have to worry about your eyebrows disappearing when you come out of the water!
4. The thin white wing is the key point of this makeup look, but white liner is hard to come by! If you want a cheap alternative that’s easy to find, get a lipstick! We suggest Maybelline’s Color Sensational The Loaded Bolds in Wickedly White. Since there are no rules in makeup, take some of this lipstick onto an angled gel liner brush and wing that liner! Keep the line thin and extend the wing until the edge of your brow for a playful pop of white.
5. With white eyeliner, it’s easy to look washed out. Bring some depth back into the eyes with a coat of mascara. Try the Maybelline The Falsies Push Up Angel Waterproof Mascara that’s perfect for achieving separated and lengthened lashes. The unique brush tip lifts your lashes from the roots without clumping.
6. Snag Janine’s natural, sun-kissed look with Leiania House of Beauty’s Organic H20 Kissed Lipcheek Stain in Peach Nectar! Because of its heavy pigmentation, a little definitely goes a long way. Start by dotting the tint lightly one cheek at a time and quickly blend into the skin before it sets. Build the color up slowly until you get a subtle flush.
7. Janine was absolutely glowing! Get that fresh highlight by using the W7 Night Glow Highlighter & Illuminator. You know the drill: apply it on the high points of your cheeks, nose, cupid’s bow, and chin for that ethereal glow. Don’t be afraid to go in for a second layer to make that highlight really pop!
8. The last thing we want is to look like a clown at a pool. Avoid the smudged lipstick look all together and opt for a tinted lip balm. This makes applying (or accidentally rubbing off) that swipe of color less high maintenance. Our recommendation? Glossier’s Flavored Balm Dotcom in Rose for a light tint of pink while you keep your lips plump and hydrated!
9. Lastly, lock in that makeup! Ellana’s Stay Fresh Setting Spray acts as both a setting spray and a facial mist at the same time, so you can toss it in your bag and use throughout the day to refresh your skin and help keep your makeup in place.
