While the rainy season provides relief from the heat, the excessive moisture and humidity present in the air during this time becomes a big challenge for the skin and makeup. Due to sweat, stickiness and rain drops, facial foundation becomes patchy and kajal and mascara spread and spoil the entire look. In such a situation, if you include some easy and professional beauty tricks in your routine, then your makeup can remain absolutely fresh, flawless and glowing for hours even in monsoon.

Skin Preparation: Tighten pores with ice

Makeup in monsoon should start with proper skincare. Just before applying makeup, wash the face with an oil-free cleanser and wrap an ice cube in a clean muslin cloth and massage the face in circular motion for 2-3 minutes. By applying ice, the pores of the skin shrink, which reduces the secretion of sebum and sweat. After this, apply a light, water-based or gel-based moisturizer so that the skin does not feel sticky.

Choosing a Silicone-Based Primer and Matte Foundation

Completely stop using cream or oil-based products during the rainy season. After moisturizer, use a silicone-based mattifying primer, which creates a protective barrier against sweat on the skin.

• Base Layer: Instead of heavy foundation, choose lightweight BB cream, CC cream or tinted moisturizer.

• Coverage: If foundation is necessary, use only matte and waterproof formulations and blend thoroughly with a sponge.

• setting: Immediately after applying the base, apply baking or dusting with translucent loose powder on the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin).

Waterproof eye makeup and powder-based blush

Eye makeup spreads fastest during monsoon. Therefore always use smudge-proof and waterproof gel eyeliner and mascara. Use matte powder eyeshadow instead of cream eyeshadow. For cheeks, choose powder blush instead of liquid or cream blush, which stays on the skin and gives a natural fresh look.

Give the final touch with matte lipstick and setting spray.

Glossy and creamy lipsticks spread easily in this season. Instead of these, apply long-lasting matte or liquid lipstick. Before applying lipstick, dust a little powder on the lips so that the color lasts longer. Finally, use a good mattifying makeup fixer or setting spray to lock the entire makeup.
