Tips to Rain-Proof Your Makeup This Monsoon

The monsoon season can have a huge impact on your makeup. The humidity in the air might ruin your look by making your skin patchy. During monsoon season, the lipstick or lip gloss you apply can get smudged. Dull skin and clogged pores are some issues that you may have to face during rainy days. In this blog, let’s look at some helpful tips to rain-proof your makeup this monsoon.

A Few Basic Steps for Maintaining Flawless Skin

Irrespective of the season, follow these simple steps to maintain flawless skin.

• Ensure that your skin is always hydrated and moisturised.
• Sunscreen is absolutely essential even during rainy days. So, make sure you use one on a daily basis.
• Drink lots of water. Your skin and entire body have to be hydrated so that you can get the best effects after applying makeup.
• Remove the makeup completely from your face before going to bed at night.
• Wash your face frequently so that the dirt or pollutants that cling to your skin pores (when you are out) are fully wiped out.

Monsoon-Friendly Makeup Advice

Here are some monsoon makeup tips that you can use during rainy days!

1. What Kind of Moisturiser Can You Use?

You may already know that a moisturiser always keeps your skin moisturised and hydrated. It makes your skin look younger and prevents skin problems. Avoid using heavy moisturisers during monsoon. Instead, make use of a gel or water-based moisturiser. You can even use a lightweight and non-greasy formula consisting of natural ingredients like aloe. Using a lightweight serum is also a good way to plump up your skin.

2. How to Use a Primer?

You might have heard that a face primer is applied beneath your foundation, mascara, or eyeshadow to get a smoothing effect. Primers also prevent your foundation from becoming runny. There are many brands of face primers available on the market and they can keep your foundation intact for several hours. Choose one of them and keep using it during the monsoon season.

3. The Best Type of Eyeliner for the Monsoon

Refrain from using liquid eyeliners during the monsoon season because they will become smudgy pretty soon. You can opt for gel eyeliners instead of liquid ones. Even if you are a beginner and are trying to get the hang of using eyeliners, a gel eyeliner will be the best option.

4. Mattifying Powder for the Face and Neck

Using mattifying powder is one of the best rainy-season makeup hacks. Mattifying powder helps prevent oil buildup on your face. You can use this powder after you apply your base makeup. Applying mattifying powder across your face and neck helps absorb excess moisture. The end result is that you will have an even finish.

5. Have a Lip Tint Handy!

Monsoon is not the time to use lipstick or lip gloss. Instead, have a lip tint in your purse. This leaves a stain of colour on the surface of your lips. Lip tints can be in gel or liquid form. Your lip tint can also be utilized as a cheek tint. Therefore, carrying a lip tint with you can help you do last-minute touchups in seconds!

Enjoy Your Long-Lasting Makeup in Monsoon

Grey clouds and heavy downpours don’t have to dampen your spirits. Even if the day is dull, you can brighten it by dressing and applying the makeup you love. With water-proof makeup, you can go out in the rain without the fear of smudges.
