1.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.

 

2. 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.

 

3. Makeup Base

"Try and avoid foundation in monsoons" says Makeup Artist, Ambika Pillai. Makeupbase 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.

 

4. Eye Makeup

As Makeup Artist, Ambika Pillai says, "When we talk about eyemakeup 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.

 

 

5. Matte Lips

This season is in with matte colors, thus soft matte colors are also preferable this monsoon. Try to go with any thing you are comfortable with, the only thing which needs to be taken care of is the makeup should not get washed out.

 

 

6. Stylized look with minimal makeup

"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.

 

Things to Remember

 

- Always use water-proof makeup, during monsoons.

- Use as minimal makeup as possible during this season.

- Avoid applying kajal, if you have to then go for a waterproof one.

- Avoid lip-gloss in the rains instead go for a good quality water resistant lipstick.

- During monsoon people generally go for rain parties or enjoy a cup of coffee at a friends place, to attend such places a little bit of waterproof mascara is enough, never go for a dramatized eye makeup.
