Most of us are worried about our make-up when the monsoons arrive. We have some tips for you to protect yourself and your make-up when it’s raining.

First of all, avoid applying thick make-up as it has the risk of being washed out. Wear light and subtle make-up. Nowadays, there is waterproof make-up available in the market, like waterproof mascaras, liners, foundation and lipsticks. You can opt for these.

Besides, avoid using foundation if not necessary, or use it as a concealer. Face powder is a better option to remove the oiliness off your face. Avoid using pressed powder during the rains. While using eye-shadows, put the cream shadows away and instead use the powdered shadows. Opt for colours like pink and brown which are easier to maintain.

Blush should be applied lightly so that it doesn’t look like a spot of colour on your face. Cream blushers are water-friendly. If your face gets wet, you just need to pat it with a tissue. Again chose colours which are easier to maintain and go with your skin type.

Avoid using the wet eye liners during the monsoons. Instead use a kajal pencil as a liner. Also avoid using liquid lip colours and gloss for this season. Instead use lip balm and matte lipsticks which will also moisturize your lips.

Lastly, it is quite difficult to handle your hair during the rainy season. Put away the sprays and gels since they will get washed away anyways. Try and keep your hair tied to avoid frizz. Dry your hair quickly with a hair dryer once it gets wet. Avoid ironing or curling your hair artificially since it would not last for long during the monsoons.

There is absolutely no need to worry this season. You can glow and look pretty even while it’s raining. And the best alternative is to keep it natural!
