Since the advent of monsoon, maintaining makeup and protecting it from fading away every hour has become the most difficult task. Monsoon brings down the heat but also increases the humidity in the atmosphere. As a result, one thing to always remember is to modify your makeup routine according to the weather.
This monsoon, add a twist to a style that will melt away effortlessly, thanks to these flawless beauty tips shared by Moira’s training head, Avleen Bansal.
primer – Using a primer before applying any base layer on your face is a must to keep your makeup stable. It helps withstand moisture, make cosmetics last longer and create a smooth base. Look for products that reduce shine and minimize pores so your makeup stays fresh and perfect all day, even in wet weather.
thin base layer – To avoid feeling heavy and maintain breathability in humid weather, use a thin layer of a lightweight base during monsoon. For longer lasting and shine control, set it with a translucent powder. This simple method not only helps protect the makeup from humidity but also provides a natural, dewy finish that matches well with the mood of the rainy season.
Bright eyeshadow – It is important to pay special attention to the use of waterproof cosmetics to enhance your eyes. To avoid staining your eyes, especially on wet days, use waterproof pencils. Choose earthy or neutral eyeshadow colors that match your skin color well and blend easily. You can instantly enhance your beauty by applying a little glitter to the inner corners of the eyes.
Natural Blush – Use waterproof blush to add some color to your cheekbones. Cream blushes usually blend well and give the face a slight blush. Cream blushes are ideal for on-the-go touch-ups as they are easy to apply with a makeup sponge or fingers and provide buildable coverage. Using these blushes gives you a natural look during the monsoon season.
Matte lips – Matte lips offer long-lasting color, without the risk of smudging or transferring, making them perfect for the monsoon season. Choose matte liquid lipsticks in complementary colors or muted tones that accentuate your features. Their matte coating keeps lips vibrant and defined all day by protecting them from humidity and rain. It is important to hydrate and exfoliate beforehand to prevent lips from drying out and improve the even application of matte lip treatments.
Setting Spray – Setting spray is needed to seal makeup and make it last longer despite the humidity. It helps prevent makeup from melting or fading, so it looks perfect and fresh all day long. Once the makeup process is complete, use a setting spray in a light mist to secure everything and protect it from the occasional rain shower.
touch ups – Maintaining makeup requires regular touch-ups. Keep tissues on hand to wipe off excess oil without affecting the foundation makeup. Keeping setting powder and waterproof pencils in the bag will help in quick touch-ups. This guarantees that it can easily change the look, maintaining the freshness and integrity of the makeup even in humidity.
