Summer is here, and that means one thing: poolside parties! But who says poolside glam is just for the young?
Over 50 and fabulous, you can rock any poolside party with the right makeup tips. Here are the 7 Greatest Tips for Poolside Glam Over 50 to keep you looking fabulous while enjoying the sun, water, and fun.
The 7 Greatest Tips for Poolside Glam Over 50
1. Sunscreen is Your BFF
Protecting your skin from the sun is essential. Opt for a sunscreen with SPF 50+ to shield your skin from harmful UV rays.
I love it Cosmetics Celebration Foundation (video below) because it has SPF 50+ so you can touch up your SPF as you touch up your glam.
2. Waterproof Everything
Poolside glam calls for waterproof makeup. From mascara to eyeliner, make sure your makeup stays put, even after a dip in the pool.
In today’s age, waterproof SPF, skincare, and makeup are everywhere. Unlike my early days as a makeup artist (the mid-90s), when only we pro’s had access to waterproof makeup. Remember that and be grateful, lol!
3. Bright Lips for a Pop of Color
A bold, bright lip color can elevate your look instantly. Choose long-lasting, smudge-proof lipsticks that can withstand poolside activities. Try a lip stain or liquid lipstick; this way, you will only have to touch up your gloss.
4. Highlight Your Features
Use a highlighter to accentuate your cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose. A radiant glow is perfect for catching the sunlight. The highlighter in the below is Pixi’s Hello Glow-y Powder in the shade Sweet Glow.
5. Keep it Light and Natural
For a fresh and natural look, go easy on the foundation and use a tinted moisturizer. This keeps your skin looking dewy and youthful.
The 19-minute video below is a full tutorial on how to achieve the perfect minimal makeup. This is the type of look you need for your next water event. Just swap the products with waterproof, and you are good to go!
6. Define Your Brows
Well-defined brows frame your face beautifully. Use a waterproof brow pencil or gel to keep your brows in place all day.
Now, if you are like me, learn to love your minimal brows. Instead of worrying that your brows will stream into the pool drain, go without.
Another suggestion is to wear your largest pair of Hollywood-style sunglasses to mask last night’s champagne binge. You will not only look like a movie star but you are also protecting your eyes.

7. Set It and Forget It
Finish your look with a setting spray to ensure your makeup stays flawless all day. A setting spray with SPF is a bonus!
e.l.f. cosmetics Dewey Coconut Setting Mist is my hands-down favorite. It’s perfect for a poolside refresher, and it leaves an amazing glow on the skin. BONUS TIP: Put it in a Ziploc bag and stick it in your cooler for an ice-cold spritz.
