Make-up hacks for the rainy season

The monsoon is here. While you're gearing up to welcome the season with the latest rain

gear and monsoon fashion trends, why not also go for waterproof make-up? Since the

weather is humid, it's best to let your skin breathe. So go minimal and avoid subjecting your


face to layers of make-up. If you still want to wear make-up, there are many brands of

water-proof make-up available in the market. Here's how to apply make-up the right way, so

that it lasts longer and doesn't drip, even when the rain Gods aren't in your favour.


Whether you have patchy or clear skin, apply a make-up primer to your face, as it's good for

heavy coverage. The primer will flatten out the surface of your skin and help your make-up stay on.

Apply a light coat of an oil-free tinted moisturiser, like a BB cream. Don't go for liquid or

creamy foundations, as these can melt in humid weather. For touch-ups, use a lightweight finishing powder.


To cover up dark circles and blemishes, use an oil-free concealer. Make sure that there is no oil content in your make-up.

Once you've prepped your face and applied a light moisturiser, lightly dust your face with

pressed or loose powder to absorb all the excess oil and moisture.


Next, apply a light-coloured powder blush to the apples of your cheeks.

If you plan to do eye make-up and don't want your eye shadow to crease, use an eyelid

primer to your lids before you apply the eye shadow.


For a simple bold liner look, use a liquid eyeliner; as compared to wax-based pencil

eyeliners, these are more likely to resist smearing.


Use water-proof mascara for your eyelashes.


To finish off, moisturise you lips with a lip balm and apply lipstick.
