Thank you!

Yeah, that's for dry stuff. Stuff staying put underwater is a whole other ball game!

[Cerry]

Thanks for the heads up! It would have been an awkward mer moment if I put a lot of work into it and went to test it out at the public pool and had it run everywhere!

I try to always make do with what I have before buying new (or clutter takes over) and I found that the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Palette works decently for underwater eye makeup and special effects makeup. I attend a couple events a year that I am willing to wear makeup as a merperson, so I was glad to figure this out. I am still thinking about ordering some loose pigment samples from Shiro Cosmetics and a waterproofing medium for more variety and excitement, but this meets my needs. It is also really compact so nice to travel with.

To be cautious, don't wear red shades near the eyes.

What about korean makeup? I know that Korean cosmetology industry one of the best, but what about makeup? Do they have some good brands and what could you recommend?

I recently tried underwater makeup and was absolutely delighted! If I was worried before that the cosmetics would not withstand active recreation near the water, but when I read Luminess Air reviews I immediately realized that my doubts were in vain. Waterproof products really work: eyeliner does not smudge, mascara stays on the eyelashes, and foundation keeps the skin fresh and smooth even after hours in the pool or sea.
