Must Have Makeup Products for Monsoon
Hi guys,
India is one country which has three seasons and rains/monsoon are the most integral middle season. We love it, hate it, but we cannot ignore it. And cannot not get drenched once, come what may. Because whenever you carry an umbrella, it will never rain while when you don’t as it’s very sunny, it will surely rain! Murphy’s laws :/
Anyhoo, since we cannot avoid it, we should be well prepared for it. Your makeup needs some change too in the monsoon, as you don’t want heavy foundations or makeup meltdown in monsoon.
Primer, makeup setting spray and waterproof makeup is the solution against monsoon 😀 Here are few of my makeup must haves for monsoon season:
1. Primer: A primer is very essential as it not only smoothens the pores and make your foundation glide seamlessly, it also holds your makeup in place in sweat & humidity. I am currently loving the Sephora Smoothing Primer and Make Up For Ever Step 1 Smoothing Skin Equalizer.
2. Concealer/BB cream: Now you do not need heavy foundation in monsoon as it’s bound to be humid and sticky too. Concealers/tinted moisturisers/BB creams are your best friend in monsoon. I love the Ponds BB Cream and the Lakme Absolute Face Stylist Concealer. These are my go to, keep the makeup in place and are not at all heavy. The concealer also instantly brightens my under eyes.
3. Cream Blushes/Highlighters/Cheek & Lip Stains: Go for cream to powder finish products in monsoon or tints. They are not too heavy, give a soft and dewy finish and the color/tint stays put through the day. I love the Kryolan Lip & Cheek Stain, Faces Ultime Pro Metalliglow Highlighter in Champagne, The Body Shop Cheek & Lip Stain
4. Eyebrow pencil/pomade: If you use eyeshadow to set your eyebrows, you will need to set them with a wax or they would obviously wash away in monsoon. I would suggest using a pencil/pomade as they are more waxy and keep the eyebrows in place. I like the Maybelline Fashion Brow Duo Shaper
5. Waterproof Eyeliner & Mascara: Need I say more for this? You don’t want to end up with panda eyes, having eyeliner & mascara all around 😀 Maybelline Magnum Barbie is completely water proof!
6. Matte Liquid Lipsticks/Lip Crayons: Creamy lipsticks would bleed and be all over your face, if in case you get drenched. Matte liquid lipsticks are the safest bet and also they are very much in trend these days! I love Chambor Extreme Wear Transferproof Liquid Lipsticks & Colorbar Kiss Proof Liquid Lipsticks. Also Matte Lip crayons are a good option, I like the Maybelline Lip Gradation.
7. Loose Powder: Compact powder would slip in humid climate, but a loose mineral powder works well for monsoon. Also if you have baked your face and especially undereyes, it will stay put through the day! I am currently loving the Faces Mineral Loose Powder.
8. Makeup Setting Spray: And to set it all, a makeup setting spray. My favourite is the Colorbar Stay the Day Finishing Mist.
9. Bright Nail Paints: Wear all your reds, oranges, blues. Bright nails and monsoon go hand in hand.
So yes, with these changes in your makeup, you are all set to face the monsoon!
