Hiking Betty Style: Make Up for the Trails

I don't use too much make up when hiking (if I use it at all), but just enough to look decent in pictures and protect my skin at the same time. So here is the break down of what I used on my last hike:

  • MAC liquid last eye liner. It's basically highly pigmented, water proof, liquid liner that helps define my eyes. I wear it in black, but if you want some color go for this bright teal one!

  • Maybelline Full N' Soft waterproof mascara. This is my favorite drug store mascara, because it looks so natural but still gives my lashes some volume. Also, it doesn't flake as much as other waterproof ones I've used.

  • Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer just to even out my skin tone and the SPF 20 is a plus! Remember to set it with powder and if your face feel really gross by the end of the hike bring make up remover wipes and you're back to looking fresh again!

  • Lastly, I love Philosophy's Melon Daiquiri lip shine (gloss). I rotate between that and a chap stick with a high SPF.
P.S. I keep my frizzy hair under control with a cream leave-in conditioner in braids and under a hat :).
