You never know what the weather will do when at Disney World. Being out in the sweltering heat all day and usually some rain and lots of humidity can do a number on a girl’s makeup and sunscreen. But I wanted to let you know about my tried and true makeup products for a day in the parks!
This makeup will work whether you like a minimal look or full coverage. These products are my go tos and some of them are drugstore brands which will save you some major money! I used to work in cosmetics and skincare and am very particular about what I put on my face as well as spf protection. I’ve tried many different products throughout the years but these all stars are the makeup mvps!
Face:
- Made with 5 clean, vegan ingredients, this lightweight, talc-free mineral foundation provides sheer-to-full coverage and promotes clearer, healthier-looking skin over time.
- The powder foundation provides all-day coverage with a naturally luminous finish. The mineral-based SPF 15 makeup provides sun protection against UVA and UVB rays.
- A non-comedogenic, clean formula that is talc-free and formulated without parabens, formaldehyde, gluten, synthetic fragrance, PEGs, and more.
- This clean foundation powder promotes clearer, healthier-looking skin over time. It won’t clog pores, cause breakouts or settle into fine lines.
My first product is by bareMinerals. Now I know this product has been around for a long time and there’s a really good reason for that- It works so well! This product’s coverage easily ranges from sheer to full and camouflages the most stubborn blemishes and discoloration. I use mine with an IT Cosmetics brush because for me that seems to work the best. I simply buff this powder all over my face in circular motions. And as an added bonus? This product already has SPF in it. I literally apply this in the morning (all over my face- eyes and lips too), go the the parks all day and by nighttime I’m still covered. I’ve never had a sunburn with this makeup. It may be an oldie but it’s a goodie for sure!
- HYDRATING SKIN TINT: Non-comedogenic and dermatologist-tested skin tint delivers light, buildable coverage and mineral SPF 50 protection. The formula is also water-resistant (80 minutes).
- DO-IT-ALL SKIN TINT: Skincare, SPF 50 + coverage. The hydrating, serum-like formula sinks in like your fave skincare.
- NATURALLY DEWY FINISH: Available in 18 flexible shades (6 shade families with 3 undertones each) that give you a naturally glowy complexion with zero white cast.
I recently tried the e.l.f Halo Glow Skin Tint and while for me personally it left something to be desired ( I’m not crazy about the shade I tried or that it can magnify certain textures), I think that this could be a great cost affective alternative. It gives minimal tint coverage but it features mineral broad spectrum SPF of 50. I think that if you set this with some powder, it would really help it stay put longer in the heat making it a great choice if you want a less coverage look on a budget!
- MULTITASKING SUNSCREEN – Supergoop! Glowscreen is a broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 40 that helps filter blue light and doubles as a makeup-gripping primer for dewy, glowing skin that isn’t greasy or oily—and now it comes in four radiant shades!
- YOUR NEW GLOW-TO – Glowscreen’s hydrating formula perfects skin, giving it a healthy dose of pearlescence and creating a totally dewy, glowy base layer for your look without any visible glitz or glitter.
Or maybe you really don’t care for a makeup coverage and really just want the sun protection plus a little glow? Then the Supergoop! Glow Screen is my top pick! While this sunscreen somehow minimizes and blurs imperfections, it also gives a nice glow without the coverage of a makeup or tint. You’ll get a lit from within look that doesn’t scream disco ball. It boasts an SPF 40 and if you’re very fair or burn easily, you could layer this under the bareMinerals for even extra protection!
Lips:
- PROTECT YOUR POUT – This hydrating, mint-flavored lip balm with SPF absorbs both UVA (aging) & UVB (burning) rays so your skin doesn’t.
- FEEL-GOOD FORMULA – Our lightweight SPF 30 lip balm protects one of the most sun-sensitive parts of your body. Your new favorite lip balm with SPF is here!
- GREAT FOR ACTIVE DAYS – This water- & sweat-resistant formula is especially recommended before a day at the beach or on the slopes.
Some people really want the ease of a quick lip gloss that can be applied easily throughout the day as needed. For them, I would definitely go with the Supergoop! Glow Lip Balm. This product excludes over 1600 harmful ingredients and will provide sun protection while you’re out in the hot Florida Sun.
- Long Lasting Matte Lip Color: Maybelline Super Stay Ink Crayon in shade Accept A Dare, glides a rich layer of smudge and transfer resistant matte berry wine color across your lips. Lasts for up to 8 hours of wear. Use to line and fill your lips.
- Effortless Control: The built in sharpener of this award-winning matte lipstick keeps the tip ultra precise, so you can easily apply lip color wherever you are. Easily outline, shape, and color your lips in 1 swipe with no hassle and no fading
- Let Your Lips Do the Talking: A matte lip color that glides on crayon-easy, so draw it on and wear it all day with no smudges or fading. Choose from our beautiful selection of longwear shades. The final step in your lip care routine.
If you like more of an actual lipstick/color, Maybelline Colorstay lipstick works wonders. While it doesn’t have SPF in it, it is very long wearing. Plus there are tons of shades to choose from. It’s transfer proof and you can’t beat the price! You could by six of these for the price of one prestige branded lipstick. Bonus, no need for lipliner with this because this lipstick is going to stay put for a while!
Eyes:
While I don’t usually wear eyeshadow to the parks, I do really enjoy wearing mascara. However, if your and eyeshadow type of person, I would recommend this one. It comes in several shades, is easy to apply and is a drugstore favorite that will last throughout the day! As for my favorite mascara, I love Panorama by L’oreal. It coats each lash but doesn’t clump and it stays put all day without smudging or running. You can opt for the waterproof version if you’re going to be riding lots of water rides.
- Imagine lashes that make your eyes sparkle… Inspired by Disney’s Minnie Mouse’s iconic eyelashes, our Classic Eyelash Curler will lift your natural lashes into an effortless curl.
- Added charm element inspired by Minnie Mouse’s perfectly curled lashes. Curls lashes from base to tip creating a wide-awake look. Reaches every lash for an effortless curl. Ergonomic handle design for added comfort and control.
Speaking of eyes, the best way to perfect your eyelashes is to curl them before you apply mascara. This is my go to eyelash curler. I have the red Mickey one and it is by far the best curler I’ve ever used! You may not think that brand makes a difference for something this simple (I didn’t either) but trust me, once you try this one, you’ll be hooked. It gives a beautiful curl shape that holds.
For eyebrows I have found that Maybelline works just as well as some of the more expensive brands. I love both their pencil and gel. These both give the illusion of fuller brows.
Setting Sprays:
- LONG-LASTING PERFORMANCE: Ultra-light setting spray delivers 16 hours of waterproof, sweat-proof, and smudge-proof makeup protection with a matte finish
- MATTIFYING FORMULA: Features witch hazel to absorb excess oil and create a blurred, matte finish while keeping makeup transfer-proof
- SKIN-FRIENDLY INGREDIENTS: Contains green tea extract to help tighten pores in a non-comedogenic, dermatologist-tested formula
Of course even the best makeup will still have a small tendency to run or melt while sweating in the sun all day. The most fool proof way to ensure you get the most out of your makeup is to finish your look with a setting spray. The Urban Decay All Nighter is a longtime cult favorite and the e.l.f Power Grip is a more cost effective alternative. Another very popular option is ONE/SIZE. This one even comes in a glitter option which I think is super fun for a day of magic at Disney.
There you have it! My tried and true makeup favorites for a day in the Florida sun. I hope that this shows you that you don’t have to break the bank to look glam (or natural!) while at Disney. There are so many awesome options but these are my go tos and they work fabulously to protect me from the sun as well!
