Which makeup product is known for having a solvent base, making it water-resistant?

Lipstick
Foundation
Eye shadow
Blush

The correct answer is: Eye shadow

Eye shadow is known for having a solvent base that makes it water-resistant, particularly in formulations designed for long-lasting wear. This type of eye shadow often utilizes ingredients that provide a film-forming ability, enhancing its durability against moisture and sweat. Such properties are especially appealing for consumers looking for makeup that can withstand various conditions, including humidity or tears. Other makeup products like lipstick, foundation, and blush, while they may have varying levels of water resistance, typically do not possess a solvent-based formulation that specifically enhances water resistance the way that certain eye shadows do. Lipsticks and foundations often rely on oils and waxes for texture and adherence, while traditional blush formulations are usually powder-based or cream-based without the same solvent characteristics that provide lasting power against moisture.
