I am doing makeup for an underwater photo shoot and am not sure what the best products to use are. Luckily this is a test shoot...
Update:I am doing makeup for an underwater photo shoot. What products can withstand being under water for prolonged periods of time?(and, yes, I know about waterproof makeup...I am asking about specific brands.) Any special techniques? Any other makeup artists out there with experience in this sort of thing?

I believe that water-proff make up is applied on synchronized swimmers before they perform. The Cover girl line has water proff mascara, and lip colors. Try Nars beauty products you can find them in a Sephora location. Nars is a higher quality makeup, which is used by make up artists and celebrities.
That sounds like the job of the event planner for let's say the olympics - that's the only time I've actually seen them perform - they are so amazing to watch, but for the makeup, I'd contact the olympics people, ask them who their event planners are and do they handle makeup? Then whoever they direct you to, call the company reps and see what they use for those days. Hope that at least points you in a helpful direction, but that's tough to find out, there's so much competition, people may not want to tell you how they are doing it -
try professional swim organizations that even offer the classes and see what they all say, you'd have more luck going directy to them or try this same question in a different section - is there one for swimming???
Stage makeup is thicker, and is hard to get off with water. Ben Nye is an awesome brand that usually can be used without the "stage makeup" look. Try that!
