But that doesn't mean we want to look the part, which is why we spent the last two weeks trying every new "waterproof" makeup product out there. Because after all, who wants to find themselves in the pool surrounded by a cloud of beige/black makeup? We boiled our search down to these summer makeup must-haves so you don't have to do the sleuthing yourselves. Want to see them? Here are our top six:

  • Trends are always changing, but your income isn’t, right? I feel ya.

Well past the age of insecurities, these eccentric types aren't afraid to experiment with color and will mostly likely continue to do so 'till the day they die. For these daring spirits among us, Illamasqua has created a new service -- "Final Act of Self Expression" -- that brings fierce makeup to … the funeral parlor.
