Are you noticing your makeup melting away under the annoying heat of the sun? If you can’t avoid wearing makeup, this is probably an uncomfortable time of year for you. If you’re not too crazy bout water-resistant products, that’s probably warranted as not all such products are created equal. You may want to reconsider though, when you hear what Dawn Kolke has to say. The makeup artist for Kiss & Makeup, a charming little store in The Village at Park Royal, shares a couple of suggestions on what to use in the Summer:

Sue Devitt‘s Tinted Moisturizer has a Sun Protection Factor of 30, which is great for keeping the sun’s damaging rays from your skin. It’s also practical for those on the go because it acts as a moisturizer, sunblock, foundation, and powder all in one!

Kiss Me Mascara is a great water-resistant mascara that can be removed with just warm water. It’s actually pretty impressive. Check out the video to find out how that’s possible!

Stop by the store if you’re in West Vancouver. The people that work there really know their stuff and will be more than happy to run through the many lines that are not carried anywhere else. If you don’t live ’round these parts, check out their online store, where you can virtually buy anything that’s available in the boutique.
