Great Tips For Putting On Makeup During The Rainy Season
The rainy season is once again upon us, which means it is time to switch up your makeup. During the dry season, dryness and sweating are two worries many people have before applying a full face of makeup. For the rainy season this time, your two major worries would be humidity and dampness, so you need to choose waterproof makeup products that can withstand changes in the weather.
To help you figure this out, here are some great tips for putting on makeup during the rainy season.
· Go Light:
Opt for lighter looks over layers of makeup to keep your skin and makeup in prime condition. More layers of makeup clog up the skin pores, meaning your makeup will likely slide off once you start to sweat.
On the other hand, light makeup allows your skin pores to breathe, ensuring that your face beat stays flawless all day.
· Moisturise and prep with a matte primer:
Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean you shouldn’t worry about your makeup sliding off.
Come rain or shine; you need a great moisturiser and primer to keep your face bright and ready.
Humid weather can cause your skin to dry out, so choose a water-based moisturiser that absorbs oil and pairs great with your foundation for a bright, hydrated finish. Once you’ve applied your moisturiser, go in with a matte primer for a long-lasting finish and a smooth surface to work with.
· Powder-based products over cream-based products:
Creamy makeup products are more likely to melt and leave a mess if you do get caught in the rain. Instead, replace your creamy makeup products with powder ones.
A powder foundation leaves a matte, long-lasting finish without blotches. Complete your base with a mattifying powder, one with a lightweight formula is a great choice. Dust your face and neck with the powder to absorb moisture.
Finish your eye makeup with pressed or powder-based blush and eyeshadow to avoid smudging and melting.

· Matte lipsticks over glossy lips:
Lip glosses and creamy lipsticks are quick to bleed during humid weather. So opt for transfer-proof matte lipsticks. To make sure your lipstick stays in place, apply a balm or moisturiser first and wait for about 20 minutes before applying a matte lipstick. Read More…
