To let you know the right trick here are few tips. Read on to keep your perfect makeup profile even in the rain.

Let’s start with makeup base Beginning at the base it is worth mentioning that often the main cause of smudging is the excessive foundation use. So for those who find it indispensable, might use a thin coat of preferably water resistant, primer mixed foundation. This will helpful in the rain Also it is good to mix primer along with curled lashes, tubing mascara, blush and powder to dazzle in the rain. Powder will prove to be the best tool to offer a slight shimmer and mask the beauty flaws at the same time. This will stick to your complexion rather than any kind of foundation. It will require just a quick touch up during the day and in return guarantees the spotless effect. But do choose the right shade that’s closer to your natural skin tone.

How to handle eye makeup Probably the very first thing that runs down your face is your eye makeup. There's black everywhere and it gets in your eyes and they turn red and within minutes you're a mess. There are two things you can do to prevent this. Firstly, use waterproof mascara. You can still layer it and use the colour of your choice. It doesn't run off in the rain and your eyes continue to glow with distinction and beauty in spite of the weather. Secondly, pick for yourself waterproof eyeliner as well to make sure your eye makeup stays in place. Opt for liquid eyeliners, as they are more likely to stay and also resist smearing than wax-based pencil eyeliners. Eye shadows add highlights to the eyes but some wipe off or run very quickly in the rain, so instead of using powdered eye shadows, use a cream eye shadow. Makeup artists also recommends switching to the cream based yet light like a powder, dark eye shadows with the more natural and sheer colors, with a waterproof quality.

For your blush When powdered blush gets wet, it becomes dark and matted and it looks terrible. Therefore even the makeup gurus often neglect the use of blush during the fall season and instead practice a smashing trick. They use a bit of lipstick you can spread with your fingernails and the effect is just as gorgeous as with the use of blush.

For your lips Lip gloss is the top notch no-no beauty product of the monsoon season. The moment it get in contact with humidity, it results in smudging and unflattering look. That’s why you should rather rely on high quality lipstick that will fabulously top your makeup. There are several formulas and brands on the market that guarantee a long-lasting effect. You can either go for the blood red lips effect or rather for the classy and natural makeup trends. Choose the one you can pull off with great style in order to perfect your monsoon look.

Must Remember Tips :

  • Never use waterproof makeup every day. At the most, use it twice a week because prolonged use of waterproof makeup can darken your skin, especially delicate areas like your lips. 
  • Always moisturize properly and remove all traces of your makeup afterwards, as waterproof makeup usually strips of the moisture from skin. 
  • Better to disregard makeup when you don’t really need it, especially in places such as the beach or while doing water sports, as it’s going to get drenched anyway.


So now with these tips now even if the rain falls all around you, you will look beautiful. Your makeup will be intact.
