Monsoon Makeup Tips
 With monsoon showers around there are high chances of your makeup getting
absolutely ruined and washed out.
Check out, tips for makeup......
Foundation:
It is better not
to use foundation during
monsoon unless you want to get caught in a messy position. Instead use face
powder. Avoid using concealer
during the monsoon. Use the foundation as a concealer instead, applying it only
in spots which need touching up such as
dark circles around the eyes. Opt for a
water-resistant foundation that does not bleed in the rain.
Powder:
Use powder only sparingly just so much that is necessary to remove the
grease off your face and nose. Avoid using pressed powders in monsoons
since the powder tends to become patchy.
Mascara:
While using mascaras and eyeliners select water resistant types, do not use kajal during monsoon.
Eye-shadow:
Since creams can melt off the face, stick to
powder formulas. Think sheer and
pastel. Shades of brown, pink and beige are just right for easy maintenance
in the rains.
Blush:
Apply
blush lightly - it looks
prettiest when you can't tell that you're wearing it. Cream blushers are yum and
they are water-friendly too! If your face gets wet, all you do is dab it with a
tissue and your blush stays put. Blending is the key word. So be sure to blend
the blush outwards so that it does not look like a blob of colour on the cheek. Shades of peaches and browns are a must.
Eyebrows:
Keep
up with your
tweezing/threading, avoid using the eyebrow pencil for the time being.
Instead, put a little hair gel onto a brow brush to keep brows looking shapely.
Lips :
Use
the long lasting colour - stay/non-transfer variety of
lipsticks. Avoid
the creamy, glossy ones and opt for powder matte tones or crème matte tints.
Hair:
During the monsoon your hair is in a mess. But don't worry follow these tips to
get a tangle free, clean and
healthy hair.
-
Don't use hair
spays or gels during monsoon as the hair lacquers and gums can stick to scalp
causing dandruff.
-
Dry massage
the scalp with finger tips daily at nights to maintain blood circulation.
-
Use hot oil
treatment once a week to keep hair problem free.
-
Long hair
should be tied up into a top knot while going outdoor
-
Short hair can
be to a neat tapering style so that even when it gets wet, it can bounce back
into its shape when it's dry.
-
If you travel
a lot, go for a good, trim
haircut because, hair that gets wet often is better
off short. Short hair is easy to
comb and easy to dry.
-
If you have
long hair make sure you dry your hair as soon as it gets wet. Keeping a
Turkish towel and a travel hairdryer at your workplace is a good idea.
-
Do not oil
your hair thinking that the oil will repel the moisture if the hair gets wet.
It does not work that way. It stinks.
Get ready to face
monsoon with a refreshing glow.
