6. Water-Resistant Mascara and “Tightlining”

Eye makeup is usually the first casualty of a hot day. To avoid the dreaded “raccoon eyes,” simplify your eye routine.

  • The Strategy: Skip the heavy liquid eyeliner and “tightline” your upper lash line with a waterproof dark brown or black pencil. Follow up with a tubing or water-resistant mascara.
  • Why it Works: Tubing mascaras wrap around each lash in a “tube” that won’t smudge or run with humidity, but can be easily removed with warm water at the end of the day.
