A Friday face of the Day With the new make up For ever Aqua shadows

Dang, it’s hot out here in nor Cal today! It should be in the low 80s. That, or I’m just not whatsoever used to the warmer weather yet.

To hurry up and get into the spirit of swimming pools and water parks, I thought I’d bust out a few of the new waterproof make up For ever Aqua shadows ($20 each) for my makeup today.

The Aqua Shadows, which are available now at Sephora, are a new line of long-lasting waterproof eyeshadow crayons. They come in 12 smudge-resistant shades developed to resist fading and creasing just as much as they resist water (more on that in a minute).

Apply, count to five (or 10, to be safe), and then bring on the water!

A few things about the make up For ever Aqua Shadows…

Easy does it with these. My lids turn into cake central when I over-apply.

From my experience, they live up to the “Aqua” in their name, resisting water like our local tabby cat. They also last all day long for me, but I do get some creasing when I wear them without an eye primer.

They feel drier and thicker than some of the other shadow pencils I’ve tried, like urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide-On Eyeshadow Pencils and the NARS Soft Touch shadow Pencils, and take a little much more time and effort to blend.

For this look, I also used a few other make up For ever favorites that I recently discovered at Sephora — the Compact shine On Powder highlighter ($30; comes in two shades), sculpting blush ($25; available in four shades) and mat Bronze bronzing powder ($32; available in two shades).
