◾Best body sunscreen? I like Hawaiin Tropic Because I love the summery scent of their products
Your skin tone/coloring: Light with yellow undertones
Best waterproof eyeliner? Still looking! I have monolids and EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN smears on me… but Bobbi Brown’s gel liner is decent.
Best waterproof mascara? Still looking for above reasons…. so far, Maybelline’s The Falsies Flared is a top contender. Still smudges by the middle of the day, though 🙁
Best body sunscreen? Neutrogena oil-free… such a lovely matte finish! No greasy hands!
Skin Tone: Very fair with yellow undertones.
Eyeliner: Urban Decay 24/7!! These last better than MUFE on me.
Mascara: Lights, Camera, Splashes by Tarte. I bought Lash Genius by Anastasia, but that sadly clumps up my mascara and I will return it eventually.
Sunscreen: Neutrogena for face, Target brand spray for body.
By eventually, I mean when I have the time. Just wanted to make that clear :).

Your skin tone/coloring: NC30/C4 – neutral light tan
Best waterproof eyeliner? Stila All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner. Blackest black and doesn’t move!
Best waterproof mascara? Clinique Lash Power. The only non-smudging formula for my creaseless lids and very short eyelashes!

Best body sunscreen? hawaiian tropic shimmer effect sunscreen!! it has SPARKLES and smells like delicious coconut goodness.

Your skin tone/coloring: Fair/cool toned
Best waterproof eyeliner? I don’t wear eyeliner on those rare occasions when I’m going to be in the water but I’m really loving the new Sephora Waterproof Contour Eye Pencils. I can’t attest to how waterproof they are but they apply so beautifully, last well all day on me and come in the most beautiful array of colours.
Best waterproof mascara? I rarely wear mascara and it’s not something I’d every wear to the beach or pool.
Best body sunscreen? For my body, I’m not all that fussy, really, so long as it’s broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection of SPF 45 or higher (I’m using 60 right now). If it’s cheap and cheerful, so much the better – means we’ll all use it liberally, which is the best thing. I heard the other day in a report that the cheap brands from WalMart and Target were among the best ones in some recent testing (by the Canadian or US dermatological organization of some sort…)

Best waterproof mascara? Admittedly, I’ve tried few, but Maybelline’s Waterproof Stiletto holds up quite nicely.
Best body sunscreen? Target’s own brand is surprisingly good, but I rather like Eucerin’s SPF15 body moisturizer.

Skin tone: fair with freckles and redness
Best Waterproof Liner: Cargo Swimmables Eyeliner. These are the BEST waterproof pencil liners I’ve ever found.
Best Waterproof Mascara: Maybelline Full n Soft Waterproof but – it doesn’t fare well when it comes into contact with lotion/sunscreen so that’s a poolside fail for me. I’d probably go without at the beach or pool.
Best Body Sunscreen: I’m really picky about my facial sunscreens but, for body it’s anything SPF30 or higher from Hawaiian Tropic. It needs to be reapplied after being in the water but no problem because I cannot get enough of that smell. Love it!

Skin tone/coloring: fair with cool, pink undertones.
Best waterproof eyeliner: Tarte Amazonian Clay waterproof liner. I had a hysterical crying fit a couple of months ago and it stayed on! I was dumbfounded.
Best waterproof mascara: Maybelline Define-A-Lash, hands down.
