While all are awaiting for the rains to relieve us from the scorching heat, but monsoons also bring along humidity which is the main reason for all the skin, make-up and hair problems.
Here are easy-to-follow tips that would keep your make-up woes at bay:-
 1) Foundation:
                           
Avoid foundation as much as you can. The humidity makes your face sweaty and as a result, you end with foundation dripping from your face. To help reduce sweating and make your make-up last longer; rubbing ice-cube on the face for 10 minutes after washing your face is always a good idea. Also, replace your foundation with face powder. However, while using face powder use it only to get rid of the greasy look and nothing more
2) Blush:
When using blush, blending is the ultimate keyword. Use more pastel colors during monsoons. And if you get wet in the rain, just dab it with a tissue and not rub it all over your face. Keep the blush natural.
3) Eye-shadows:
The same mantra works for eye-shadows too. Use subtle colors like pink, brown, beige etc. Use powdered eye-shadows over creamy ones. This will prevent the eye-shadow from melting off on your face. Subtle colors like these make your face look more brighter as compared to darker shades. Thus giving you a more naturally beautiful look.
4) Mascara:
Mascara should be avoided as they smudge easily in water. However, if you want to, you can use water proof/ water resistant Mascara. They will at least stay for a while without getting smudged when wet.
5) Eye-liner and Kohl:
Use pencil Eye-liners instead of those liquid ones. For the perfect look, just apply a dash of eye-liner and a thin line of Kohl. This will not only look decent, but will also save you from getting messy even if you get wet.
6) Lip-color:
Matte is the best choice during monsoons. avoid gloss-based lipsticks as they smudge easily. Â You can choose any shades, from bright orange, pink to bolder colors. Ruby reds and coral works best with every outfit. Also, using lip-liner guarantees that your color stays longer.
Following these simple points , you wouldn’t have to worry even if you get wet. So go ahead, have fun..get drenched and stay Beautiful.
