Tips and Tricks to Keep Your Makeup Looking Fresh During the Monsoon

The monsoon season can cause your makeup to smudge, drip and crease, but these problems can be avoided by these   makeup hacks!

 The monsoon season can be a disaster for makeup lovers. The humidity and rainy weather can cause your makeup to   smudge, get greasy, and your entire look to fall apart by the end of the day. However, these problems are avoidable if   you make a few switches in your daily makeup routine. Here’s our favorite hacks and products to keep your makeup   looking fresh all throughout the monsoon season.       

  1.    A good primer

 During heavy rains, your skin becomes very susceptible to becoming oily due to the humid atmosphere. This can cause   your foundation to crease, smudge and fade away, leaving you a greasy mess by the end of the day. A good primer,   however, can prevent these issues by providing your foundation with a proper base to cling to, making it look freshly   applied for hours on end. Try the Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer for a long lasting makeup look.                

     
  1.    Powder foundation
 The issue of greasiness won’t be completely prevented by the use of primer.  To prevent your skin from looking overly   shiny due to the humidity, swap out your liquid foundations and BB creams for powder alternatives. Here’s the Mac   Studio  Fix Powder Plus Foundation, a power foundation that feels lightweight yet still provides your skin with the   coverage   it needs and leaves a mattifying finish.  Pro tip! - Powders are a great option, not only for your foundation but all your makeup products in your daily routine.   Swap out your cream blushes, bronzers and eyeshadows for powder based alternatives to keep your makeup looking  bright.    
  1.   Waterproof kajal and mascara
 Unfortunately kajal and mascara are highly susceptible to running and smudging in the rain, making them risky in the   monsoon season. But don’t worry! Waterproof kajal and mascara are a great option for those who want to bring   attention to their eyes. Just be sure to use a gentle, preferably oil-based cleanser when removing your makeup at the   end of the day to ensure that you safely remove all the product from your skin. Lakemé’s Eyeconic Kajal and Maybelline’s   Lash Sensational Waterproof Mascara are our favorite products for beating the rain.   Pro tip! - For extra long lasting eyeliner, put some black eyeshadow over your kajal. The powder will help set the kajal and   keep it in place for the whole day.           
  1.   Lip Liner
 A solid base is fundamental to creating a long lasting look, and this doesn’t only apply to foundation but also your   lipstick! Lip liner allows you to draw out where you want your lipstick to go, making an easy to follow outline that you just   have to fill in with lipstick. It keeps your pout looking vibrant and smudge-free all day long. The Revlon ColorStay Lipliner   comes in a large variety of shades and is especially efficient in staying all day.  Pro tip! - Liquid matte lipsticks and lip stains are also great ways to make your lip color stay all day and stop it from   budging.
