5 Transfer-Proof Makeup Products To Keep In Your Summer Beauty Bag

Summer time might feel like the perfect season to forgo wearing makeup, but after nearly a year and half hiding your face under a protective mask, you likely want the opposite. And with all the fun summer activities kicking off, creative makeup looks will take your style up a notch. But you still want to summer proof those looks, meaning you need makeup that won’t wear down from sweat, smearing or rubbing. That’s where transfer-proof makeup comes in. Try one, or all of the transfer-proof products below, including waterproof eyeliner and longwear foundation, so you can spend less time worrying about your face and more time enjoying your frosé.  

L’Oréal Paris Unbelievabrow Longwear Waterproof Brow Gel

You know what they say: No makeup look is complete without groomed brows. This longwear eyebrow gel lets you create the brow look of your dreams, whether it’s more natural or intense. The waterproof, sweat-resistant formula won’t transfer, even through your workout or medley of summer day parties. 

L’Oréal Paris Telescopic Original Waterproof Lengthening Mascara

Before more activities and businesses began to reopen and before the mask mandates began to change—mascara reigned. This summer, it’ll be even more fun to play with when you can pair mascara with unique makeup looks that include products that took a back seat during city shutdows. This waterproof version of the beloved must-have Telescopic is just what you need for dramatic, long lashes that stay in place whether you’re poolside chilling or enjoying a day at the beach.

L’Oréal Paris Infallible 24HR Fresh Wear Foundation, Lightweight

It’s time to pull out your makeup brushes again and rediscover your cheeks and chin! This lightweight, transfer-resistant, waterproof foundation is exactly what you need to get you through summer days of sweat, water balloon fights, and long stretches of time spent in the sun (it’s formulated with SPF!). It’s also non-comedogenic so it won’t clog pores, and it’s suitable for all skin types.

L’Oréal Paris Infallible Longwear Blush Shaping Sticks

Speaking of rediscovering your cheeks, aren’t you excited to rekindle your love affair with blush? We thought so! And this buildable cream formula will take you from day to night with a flush that will last up to 24 hours. It glides on smoothly and doesn’t fade or transfer. It’s the perfect complement to your glowing complexion.

L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Last Waterproof, Up to 24HR Pencil Eyeliner

If you want to make a statement with your eye makeup but you often rub it away (allergy season gets the best of us too), reach for this creamy, smudge-proof pencil. For vivid colors that last up to 24 hours, it’s the perfect choice for a creative summer look. Graphic eyeliner trend anyone?

Of course, you can transfer-proof any look with the right setting powder or spray, like the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Spray and Set Make-Up Oil-Free Setting Spray. Just shake well and give your face a few spritzes in an X and T motion. It’ll set your look in place and serve as a face mist for your skin when you need a refresher in the summer heat.
