We searched the market for the best waterproof and weather-resistant beauty products that stand up to the spring elements—from blowout-preserving hair cremes to smudge-proof lipsticks, and just about every category in between. Not only will your hair and makeup survive the storm, but you'll continue to look fabulous long after the clouds have disappeared. Click through our gallery to shop each of the products now!

We're obsessed with the non-sticky formula of Sisley's crayon-shaped glosses ($50; sisley-paris.com), which won't stick to your layers when the wind picks up, and can be worn either as a subtle stain or a full-impact color.

We admit, spring rain can actually be quite soothing, and dare we say, pretty-provided we're not caught in it sans umbrella. Illamasqua's rain drop lacquers ($17 each; sephora.com) recreate the mirror-like effect on your digits with tiny pearlized shimmer pigments.

Oribe's innovative hair spray ($39; oribe.com) is like a poncho for your blowout, and once the sun starts to emerge, the UV-blocking elements help to protect your highlights.

Most waterproof brow products tend to come on too strong, but Anastasia's Brow Genius ($24; anastasia.net) imparts a natural effect that won't quit. Simply mix the powder with the innovative Beauty Genius Waterproofing Gel to create a paste, then apply using short, quick strokes with the precise angled brush.

Ever have your graphic cat-eye ever transform into a raccoon eye by mid-day? Toss your standard liner for Eyeko's Eye Do ($19; nordstrom.com), which creates a precise shape with its pointed felt tip, and as an added bonus, the waterproof formula is infused with a dose of castor oil to promote lash growth.

Just like the rest of Bobbi Brown's products, the No Smudge Mascara ($25; bobbibrowncosmetics.com) really lives up to its name. One sweep is all you need for a boost in definition, and the inky black formula won't flake, feather, or form dark circles along your lower lash line.
