Ways to Apply Monsoon Makeup

While applying makeup for monsoons we need to keep in mind that after applying makeup it should not wash out if you have to face the rain even by chance. Let's find out some simple ways to look our best even when it is raining cats and dogs.

 

Basic Makeup

It is important to wash and clean you face whenever you are applying makeup on your face. You can also rub a piece of ice for 5-10 minutes; it helps to reduce perspirations as well as helps your makeup to stay on for longer hours. Our next step will be application of astringent for people with oily skin and toner for dry to normal skinned ones.

 

Makeup Base

"Try and avoid foundation in monsoons" says Makeup Artist, Ambika Pillai. Makeup base is prepared by foundation, but if you can do without it, nothing is better than that during the rainy season. If necessary, apply as little as possible. Try and blend your foundation with water, it will give you a much neater look or the best way to go about it to use water-proof foundation. Remember the most effective way to do a base makeup is blend, blend and blend, because only blending can give an even look to your face.

 

Eye Makeup

As Makeup Artist, Ambika Pillai says, "When we talk about eye-makeup during monsoons a little bit of water-proof eye-line and kajal is enough." Just opt for a thin line of water-proof eye-liner, with a coat or two of water-proof mascara and a very thin line of kajal to end your eye makeup during the watery months.

 

Matte Lips

This season is in with matte colors, thus soft matte colors are preferable this monsoon. You may also use soft brown, peaches and pink shades as well; only thing is stay as light as possible.

 

Stylized look with minimal makeup

The most difficult part of this season is to hold the look that you started your day with. Wet climate demands minimal makeup, because if not the rain the humidity will wear down anything you put on. "When you do makeup it depends on 2 very important things, first is the time of the day you are moving our and secondly the skin type you are having. Accordingly, you should go ahead with your makeup keeping the 2 thing in mind. Go with as light colors as possible, opt for a water-proof eye-liner and kajol, and with a little bit of hydrating gloss or water-proof lipstick to end your makeup. Remember less is more during the watery months, so opt for minimal." Says Celebrity Makeup Artist, Subhash Vagal. Thus, when you are going for a stylized look during monsoons always try and opt for water-proof makeup, this will help your makeup stay longer than the normal ones. As suggested by Makeup Artist, Ambika Pillai, "When the rain is on go with as minimal makeup as possible, avoid foundation, go with a lit le bit of eye and lip makeup that's it."
