Easy tips to keep the rain from washing away your makeup! We have all been there. We have all found ourselves with runny mascara, smudged eyeliner and blotchy foundation during the rainy season. Keep your makeup intact with products that can withstand humidity this rainy season. We spoke to leading makeup artists to learn how to create budge-proof makeup looks. Here are some expert-approved waterproof essentials to add to your cart!
A good foundation is the base of any makeup. Choose a lightweight, long-lasting formula that provides medium to full coverage like Elle 18 Lasting Glow Foundation . A waterproof CC cream or mousse are lighter and more breathable options to try. After applying your base foundation or CC cream, dab and dust your face and neck with a mattifying powder for an even finish.
Summer's scorching heat may be gone, but the humidity is here to stay. The rainy season often leads to bleeding lip colours or feathered lipsticks. Choose a transfer-proof and long-wear liquid lipstick such as Elle 18 Liquid Lip Color that features vibrant colours and has staying power.
If you can't go a day without eye makeup, a waterproof mascara is a must-have in your arsenal. Bid adieu to panda eyes with a waterproof mascara that defines and lengthens your lashes without smudging. If you don't want to invest in a new waterproof mascara, you could opt for a waterproof mascara top coat instead for a protective finishing layer.
Season agnostic, a waterproof eyeliner is always a wise investment for long hour coverage. Exposure to rain water and excess moisture will smudge even the best eyeliner. Try a waterproof eyeliner pencil or liquid liner like the Elle 18 Black Out Liner Eyeliner Water Resistant for a defined look.
Another all-weather staple, a setting spray is all you need for a long, hectic day with no time for touch-ups. As a rule of thumb, once you're done applying all your makeup, lock it in place with a setting spray. Hold the setting spray about 15 cm away from your face and mist all over. The setting spray will help control oil buildup and keep your makeup looking fresh for longer.
Face serums offer concentrated hydration and active ingredients, combating oil, preventing acne, and enhancing radiance during monsoon season. The Lakme Vitamin C+ Facial Serum is an expert-approved product to add to your monsoon skincare regime.
It's always helpful to have makeup wipes and Q-tips handy for spot fixes during the day. Moreover, at the end of the day, properly remove waterproof makeup to let your skin breathe. After using your makeup remover, wash your face with a gentle cleanser and follow up with a moisturiser. For humid days, prioritize a waterproof makeup routine for long-lasting coverage. Aim for a natural, dewy look to let your skin breathe.
