If you want to cherish the most romantic season without a runny makeup, you should keep these points in mind.
After a long wait, at last, the monsoon is here but it should not be the reason for ladies to worry about or sulk, as the rainy season often washes away the makeup and all efforts go in vain. So ladies, nothing should come your way when you have put efforts into looking a better version of yourself. The last thing you should be concerned of is dealing with runny makeup and in order to cherish the most romantic season, you should keep these points in mind.
1) Switch to powder-based formulas- If you use creamy-based foundation or eye shadow, the rain water may wash it off, so it would be better if you switch to powder-based formulas. In fact, powder foundation gives a matte finish and lasts longer. In case, you use liquid foundation, then make sure to set it in place with translucent powder to seal the base. Since, the weather is humid in monsoons, go for a light, breathable base that does not clog your pores. Most importantly, do not forget to apply primer.
2) Use waterproof mascara and eyeliner- In this season, you should not experiment with the eye makeup because I am sure, you would not want to get smeared eyes. As a rule of thumb, stick to waterproof makeup, that is, waterproof mascara and kajal pencil if you want a smudge-proof look.
3) Use cream-based blush- Say no to powder blushes and a big yes to cream blush. It is quite the opposite to creamy makeup formulas for eyes and face, as it gives a flawless finish to the skin.
4) Say no to glossy lipsticks- Instead of applying glossy and creamy ones, prefer soft matte lipsticks as humid atmosphere may cause bleeding lip colours.
5) Stick to the KISS principle- It is better to apply less makeup in rainy season and "keep it small and simple" because sometimes even less is more.
Monsoons are a complete package of heat, humidity and rain. So, in addition to these points, you should also take care of your skin by drinking lots of water, staying hydrated and moisturising the skin because makeup works wonders if the skin is in good shape.
