This summer, our beauty goal is to channel pop-star energy. In other words, we need our makeup to be as transfer-, water-, and smudge-proof as Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour glam.

Though Swift hasn’t brought her highly-anticipated tour north of the border just yet, TikTok has given us front-row access to her concerts across the United States where her on-stage makeup has survived sweat and rain without a single budge. Her mascara? Fully intact. Her iconic red lip (which is reportedly Pat McGrath’s LiquiLUST Lipstick in Elson 4)? It doesn’t move. And with temperatures across Canada heating up as we’ve officially entered the month of June, we’re going to need our beauty routines to be on her level.
To help you get through the hot girl summer (literally) that lies ahead, we’ve rounded up 10 pool party-approved products designed to survive the heat so your makeup won’t melt away. Below, swipe through our top picks from waterproof mascaras to smudge-proof lippies we think you’ll love.
To help keep your brows in check, you’ll want to add this on-the-go Make Up For Ever brow kit to your cart, ASAP. Within the travel friendly pouch, you’ll find a waterproof brow cream (available in 5 shades), a mini spoolie, and a mini angled brush — so all your brow bases are covered.
