Monsoon season has started, since despite the weather being pleasant there are number of challenges one faces during the monsoon season. One of the challenge amongst women’s are the makeup look. However, there are various varieties of makeup available in the market which are waterproof, many use them, but having some healthy skincare rituals and following some clever hacks to avoid patchy foundation and dripping eyeliners which can be better for your skin.
The high humidity can make your skin look patchy, and the incessant rains are the perfect recipe to make the perfect makeup look wash off when you need it the most. The natural beauty hacks which can help your makeup o not sweep or fade away are :
Moisturize:
For healthy glowing skin, regular moisturization is a must-be in any season, apparently during the monsoons, the need for it multiplies manifold. Make sure to carry a moisturizer and apply it at least twice a day for clean, clear and oil-free glowing skin. The option of water-based moisturizers can be used as well as they are efficient in absorbing excess oil.
Powder:
The perfect matte look is very famous amongst the trends, but it is a difficult one to achieve during the monsoon season if you are applying products that are cream-based. The replacement of cream based products should be the powder for some base for your makeup it helps in keeping the foundation and concealer intact on the face.
Replacing lipsticks to lip tints :
Lipsticks have a higher tendency to smudge whereas lip tints not only help in keeping your lips moisturized but also give that perfect matte finish. The shades you should opt for in tints are of soft mattes such as peach rose, taupe, pink, beige, or brown rather than the bright reds. Note not to use lip gloss or cream-based lipsticks as they easily smudge during the monsoon.
Organic products:
Not only for monsoon season but overall using organic products for your skin is very important. Going organic in your skincare regime during the monsoons is equally important as any chemical-based makeup will likely cause some damage to your skin. Choose skin care products that are a perfect blend of old age Ayurveda and modern technology. Serums, body oils, and face washes that have a blend of ingredients like Neem, Ashwagandha, Aloe Vera, Turmeric, Saffron, Sandalwood, Almond oil, Tea Tree oil with clinically proven actives like Niacinamide, Retinol, and Vitamin E are perfect options to ensure healthy glowing skin, round the year.
Mascara/Liner :
Mascara and liners are a go to makeup products for a perfect eye look. While mascara and liners give you that perfect voluminous eye look, make sure to use only waterproof variants, especially during monsoons. Try and opt for variants that have natural Ayurveda properties rather than harsh chemicals. Avoid dark black Kajal pencil, and rather opt for neutral colours like white or brown as they will create the illusion of wider eyes and won’t wash off in the rains.
