Women love to wear makeup, but the beach is one of the more challenging locations when it comes to keeping our makeup on due to the various elements we must face, including the ocean, the wind and the sand. These simple makeup tips for the beach will help getting ready a lot easier, not to mention that they will help keep your makeup free of flaws for a longer period of time as you frolic in the sand and surf. When getting ready for the beach, skip the heavy foundation and instead opt for a tinted moisturizer with SPF. Not only will your skin look more natural but you will also be protecting your skin from harmful UV rays. Another one of the most simple makeup tips you can do at the beach is to avoid wearing lip gloss, since that has a tendency to cause hair and sand to stick on your lips, and instead choose a simple lip balm that will keep lips smooth and shiny without all the extra fuss.

Skip the cream blush and instead dust a light bronzer across your cheeks and forehead. Apply a translucent powder across your face in order to help protect your makeup and keep it in place for a longer period of time. When doing your eye makeup, go for a low maintenance look. Avoid lining your lower eye lid and go for a more natural color like brown. Use neutral and flesh colored eyeshadows for a more natural look, then finishi off with a waterproof mascara on your upper lashes, in order to prevent streaking in case you get water in your eyes.
