I work as a lifegaurd in the summer at a few beaches. I Neeed some good water proof make-up. Something that can stand up to swiming for a half mile daily and running. I tryed alot of products last summer truned my eyes into big black mess or the second i hit the water all the make up is gone. I like wearing make up, to go all day without it is awful. yikes!
I really want to find a good waterproof black mascara and a good waterproof concealar.
Im thinking about trying out the liquid last liner too.
So can anyone help me out! what can you recommend to me.

I know Sephora had a big ol' thing about waterproof makeup in the recent catalog. Here's a page about it, and it's got some of the waterproof cosmetics they sell:

I guess Make Up For Ever does a lot of waterproof stuff, so definitely check it out.

And from what I hear of Liquidlast Liners, they probably would stay put after swimming.

i'd say wait 2 weeks for my July column at Naturally Curly (link in my signature), but here are the products i recommended:

Make Up Forever Aqua Eyes
Sue Devitt Eye Intensifier Pencil
MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil
Benetint
Vincent Longo Pearlessence Gel Stain
Becca Beach Tint
NARS The Multiple
Tarte's Lovin' the Fast Stain duo (only available at Sephora)
Benefit She-Laq

every makeup company makes waterproof versions of their best-selling mascaras and the Avon Waterproof Wash Off Mascara really does come off easily with soap and water.

Wet n Wild has a liquid waterproof eyeliner called H2O Proof. That stuff serisouly stays on for days! And its super cheap too.

of course the mac liquidlast liners will stay on FOREVER!
i did some rainbow eyes one day at a friends house with mac paint as a base and all mac shadows. i then went swimming for about an hour and suprisingly, it stayed on, even when i went underwater. the colours faded a bit, but other than that, it was all on...

Thanks everyone for your help. I went to Sephora and picked up the waterproof kit from makeup forever. There eyeliner was the only thing in the kit and stayed put. I did find it really hard to apply. The mascara ran a little down my eyes, but it mostly smuged on the inside of my goggles. I return it the other day.
The only thing that i find easy to apply and works really well are the liquidlast liners. Im thinking about getting mascara wands and using the black liner as my mascara. This is either a really good idea or a really bad idea i have yet to make up my mind if im going to try it.
I also brought doir show waterproof mascara to try out.
