Monsoon Makeup Tips: Level Up Your Look With These Hacks

Prepping your skin with lightweight and waterproof moisturisers: Once you cleanse your face, opt for oil-free, transfer-proof and non-sticky, lightweight moisturiser.

Primer is Key: Apply an easy-to-blend, gel-textured mattifying primer before your makeup, to create a smooth base and control excess oil. This will help your makeup last longer and prevent it from melting or smudging.

Get the non-greasy look: Keep your makeup minimal and natural during monsoon. Avoid heavy foundation and opt for a BB cream instead. Use a concealer only where needed to cover any blemishes or dark circles. Set your foundation with a translucent powder which will absorb the excess oil & moisture from the face.

Waterproof Eye Makeup: Choose waterproof and smudge-proof eyeliners and mascaras to prevent them from running or smearing due to rain or humidity. This will help your eye makeup stay intact throughout the day. Look for water-resistant mascaras and eyeliners. You can also opt for water-resistant eyebrow definers to define the sparse spaces and the look of the eyes.

Long-lasting Lip Colours: Choose long-wearing, airy light textured waterproof lip colours. Matte liquid lipsticks or lip stains tend to have better-staying power during the monsoon. You may want to refrain from glossy or creamy formulas that can smudge or transfer easily during this season.

Carry a Makeup Setting Spray: Finish your makeup by spritzing some setting spray on your face after you've completed your makeup.
