Lifestyle Desk – The season of Sawan brings with it greenery, cool showers and the excitement of festivals. During this season, people enjoy visiting temples, hanging out with family and friends and attending many religious events. However, the humidity and sweat that comes with rain become a big challenge for makeup artists. The perfect makeup applied while leaving the house starts fading within a few hours. The face starts looking sticky and the makeup starts getting removed from places. In such a situation, it is not easy to do touch up again and again. If you also face this problem, then by adopting some easy tips you can make your makeup fresh throughout the day and durable for a long time.

Face cleaning is important

First of all, clean your face thoroughly before applying makeup. Use a mild face wash to remove oil and dirt. After this, apply oil-free moisturizer on the skin, so that the skin remains hydrated and the makeup can set better.

Start with primer

Always start makeup with primer. Primer creates a layer between the skin and makeup, making the foundation last longer and reducing the effect of sweat. Especially for people whose skin is oily, mattifying primer is considered a better option.

apply light waterproof foundation

During the monsoon season, choose light and waterproof or long-wear foundation instead of heavy foundation. This makes the face look natural and despite the humidity, the makeup does not flow quickly. Avoid applying more product than necessary, as thick layers can spoil quickly.

Must have compact or translucent setting powder

After applying foundation, apply compact or translucent setting powder. It helps control excess oil and keeps makeup set for a long time. It is especially beneficial to apply powder on the T-zone i.e. forehead, nose and chin.

Eye makeup should also be waterproof

If you wear eye makeup, use waterproof kajal, eyeliner and mascara. Normal products can spread due to rain or sweat, spoiling the entire look. At the same time, instead of cream products, powder based eyeshadow can last longer.

Matte formula lipstick is best

Even for lipstick, choose a long-lasting or matte formula. Before applying lipstick, apply light lip balm and then outline the lips with the help of lip liner. This makes the lipstick last longer and does not spread easily.

Be sure to apply setting spray

Don’t forget to use setting spray after your makeup is complete. It works to lock the entire makeup and helps in keeping the face fresh for a long time. If you have to stay outside all day, keep blotting paper with you. With this, excess oil can be removed without spoiling the makeup.

The secret of looking beautiful in the season of Sawan is not expensive makeup products, but choosing the right technique and right products. If you make these easy tips a part of your makeup routine, then despite humidity and sweat, your look will remain fresh, attractive and glowing throughout the day.
