Monsoon Makeup Hacks: Keep Your Look Fresh

The monsoon brings relief from the heat but also brings humidity that spells disaster for makeup. Don't let the rain wash away your glam! Follow these hack to stay fresh.

1. Prime Time

A good silicone-based primer is your best friend. It fills in pores and creates a barrier against humidity, helping your base stick better.

2. Less is More

Avoid heavy liquid foundations. They tend to slide off in humidity. Instead, opt for a lightweight BB cream or a powder foundation. Spot conceal where needed.

3. Go Waterproof

This is non-negotiable.

• Mascara: Waterproof mascara holds the curl and won't smudge if you get caught in a drizzle.
• Eyeliner: Gel liners set better than liquid ones in humid weather.

4. Cream over Powder (Wait, really?)

While powder sets makeup, too much can cake up in humidity. Cream blushes and tints stain the skin and look more natural as the day wears on. Set lightly with translucent powder only on the T-zone.

5. Seal the Deal

Finish with a generous spritz of a matte setting spray. This locks everything in place and controls shine.

6. The Blotting Trick

Keep blotting papers in your bag. Instead of layering more powder (which looks cakey), blot away excess oil and sweat.
