9 Ways To Now Tackle Your Entire Makeup Routine With Water - Seriously

Beauty brands are liquifying their heavy balms for featherweight formulations that look and feel just like H2O that may just help you survive oppressive temps -- maybe.

It's hot, but let's face it, we're still down for a full face, well - just 'cause. In an effort to lighten up, brands are liquifying their heavy balms for featherweight formulations that look and feel like H2O - but with all the original benefits - that may just help you survive oppressive temps. We're talking lotions, SPF and even self-tanners so clear you can practically bathe in them. This trend will certainly have you in deep water this summer, and it will never have felt so refreshing!
