While skin prepping is an essential step at all times, it becomes even more important when the monsoon reaches full swing. It actually helps all that waterproof makeup do its job! For best results – cleanse your face with a gel-based face wash and rub an ice cube all over for instantly plump, refreshed skin.
Opt for a ‘less is more’ approach with your makeup routine to control unwanted shine and disasters. You don’t want that creamy foundation melting down in the rain, would you? To avoid such blunders, switch your liquid or cream based foundations and concealer for powder formulas. Using a powder foundation will not only give you a matte finish but also help your base last longer.
Avoiding any gloss or cream-based blushes, eyeshadows and lipsticks will do you good during the rains. Soft mattes will help you look put together, and will not bleed or smear. You can go for a transfer-proof, smudge-proof liquid lipstick or lip tint, which will keep your lips nourished whilst adding a much-needed dash of colour. Powder blushes stay for longer and also help mattify your face further.
