Water Proof Makeup - Pros And Cons

Most of the women will say that water proof make-up is safe, but there is always two sides to a coin, like wise with waterproof make up, you should weigh the pros and cons and then consider before applying it as the skin is most sensitive, and using the wrong make-up can be disastrous for your face. So shop leisurely and buy the correct products.

Advantages:

• Since waterproof make up sticks to the skin, it is important that you apply it properly without mistakes.If you want to remove the make up, do not rub as it will damage the skin. Use a make up remover made especially for this kind of make up.
• Follow up with a moisturizer as the remover makes the skin dry and rob you of your moisture. It is best that you don't use more than one or two waterproof products at one time as you will then have to run the risk of loosing too much moisture with the make up remover.
• When you use waterproof eye colour like eyeliner and mascara, you can bid bye to smudging and your make up will not run. Like other make up, you will not look like you have been crying.
• An alternative to waterproof lipstick is lip gloss and stains. The gloss will remain if you don't rub it and rosewater based stain wont harm your skin as it is natural.

Disadvantages:

• Lipsticks are found to be sticky and hard to take out. They dry out the lips and eventually turn up to look like a flaky mess.
• For women who suffer for eye allergies and dermatitis, they should stay away from waterproof make up. The chemicals might cause the eyes to water and give a rash or itch, or puffy eyes.
• For women who are sensitive to make up, they should use cheek, eye and lip make up made out of vegetable dye. This way the eyelashes will look nice and dark without having to apply mascara.
• Water proof mascara can make the eyelashes stiff. After three months, waterproof mascara gets old and has to be replaced by a new one.
• Since it has a tendency to dry out the hair follicles, it is advised not to wear it for long periods of time.
• If you are not careful while taking out waterproof mascara at night, the thin skin around the eyes might get damaged.
• If you are wearing contacts, avoid waterproof mascara as it will cause stains and cant be removed easily.
