Don’t you envy women who seem to have aced their make-up game – the kind, whose make-up is intact for hours together, while yours might need a touch up after every coffee sip. And with the monsoons here, it’s going to be quite a task to make sure your make-up stays put. But again, did you know a few tricks are all you need to know, to stem the damage? Here’s more....
SKIN: This season, pick a matte bronzer over the ones with shimmer. In fact, it is best to avoid any make-up product with shimmer. A light weight foundation is the best bet – preferably a BB or CC cream, since it is all in one. If you need to cover spots, use a light weight concealer instead. Do not forget to seal it with powder/ loose powder to set it well. This also prevents your foundation from wearing off. If you do not need a concealer/ foundation on a daily basis, using a compact is a good idea for a light weight finish.
LIPS: We all know how a bright lip colour can instantly brighten your face. But never forget outlining your lips before filling in the lipstick. To prevent bleeding due to humidity, use creamy-textured lipsticks, which are nourishing and work much better than gloss and other messy alternatives.
PRIMER PLEASE!: After cleansing, toning and moisturising; always use a primer before applying makeup to make it last long. Make sure the primer has a matte finish, as it lasts longer without making your skin greasy. In case if you are using a BB or CC Cream, ditch the primer.
EYES: Use a waterproof eye liner to prevent it from creasing or smudging due to humidity. Also, use a powder blush instead of cream/ gels for this season.
