Whatever your plans are for this coming season, the goal will always be the same: to stand out from the crowd. However, this can get complicated with high temperatures, which wreak havoc on our skin. Temperature also affects makeup; thanks to humidity and sweat, it can last much less time than expected.

Your best bet in these cases is to use waterproof cosmetics that will keep your look intact throughout the day. Since every makeup routine needs a foundation, here are nine of the best waterproof foundations to ensure your beauty look can beat the heat.

All Nighter Liquid Foundation by Urban Decay

All day, all night

Urban Decay’s All Nighter Liquid Foundation should be your first choice if you’re looking for a foundation that lasts long enough to go to work and then hit the club without having to touch up at home. Thanks to its matte finish, it will look light and natural on your face. Sephora ($40).

Long-lasting

When you have a full schedule and long hours of work ahead, Studio Skin Full Coverage 24 Hour Foundation by Smashbox will stay put all day. In addition to being waterproof, its formula regulates your skin’s oil production to avoid unnecessary shine. Nordstrom ($36).

Travel Size Face Tape Foundation by Tarte

Wherever you may go!

Planning a trip? The Travel Size Face Tape Foundation will easily adapt to your needs. It will hide all your imperfections and even out skin tone. Tarte ($15).

Soft colors

The Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick – Vanilla by Hourglass will blend harmoniously with lighter skin tones. Net-a-Porter ($46).

Professional Makeup Can't Stop Won't Stop Full Coverage Foundation by NYX

Dark skin

For darker skin tones, NYX’s Professional Makeup Can’t Stop Won’t Stop Full Coverage Foundation - Deep Sable, will guarantee a long-lasting matte effect thanks to its vegan ingredients. NYX Cosmetics ($11.99).

Other benefits

Thanks to Tom Ford’s special recipe, the Traceless Foundation Stick will hide any small spots and scars you may have on your skin. It also leaves your skin with a silky finish so that your makeup will look perfect in spite of the summer heat. 24S ($79).

Double Wear Maximum Cover Foundation by Estee Lauder

To cover other areas...

Sometimes you need a foundation not just for your face, but for other parts of your body as well, to hide veins, scars, burns, or tattoos. Double Wear Maximum Cover Foundation by Estée Lauder will conceal them for up to 12 hours while lending your skin a natural appearance. Estée Lauder ($37).

Water Blend Face & Body Foundation by Make Up For Ever

How about a gel?

Just like the previous foundation, Make Up For Ever’s Water Blend Face & Body Foundation will hide all the imperfections on your face or body. Thanks to its gel consistency, it will also leave your skin feeling refreshed. Sephora ($43).

More than foundation

Guerlain’s Terracotta Foundation Stick works both as a foundation and a concealer, providing a subtle highlighting effect on your skin, no matter the skin type. Saks Fifth Avenue ($47).

Neither sweat nor water will ruin your look if you use waterproof foundation!
