Listening to the pitter-patter of raindrops falling on the windowsill, a perfect duet and a good read to give you company. Monsoon conjures up to such pretty memories, isn’t it! But sadly, for us make-up lovers, this wet and humid season also sums up to days of blotchy make-up, patchy foundation and smudged mascara.

Well, not anymore! Here’s your curated how-to guide of monsoon-friendly make-up products that will help you look your cracking best during the wet days ahead.

GIVE THE FOUNDATION A BREAK

Vouch to go minimalistic and flaunt your natural beauty this monsoon. To do so, go low on your foundation and choose a good BB cream or a lightweight mousse instead. Or keep it plain and simple by dusting some face powder which will lend the ideal matte finish.

For those of you who aren’t comfortable to step out without a foundation, switch to a light gel-based foundation as it is more reliable during the humid months. Maybelline New York Fit Me Shine Free Stick is a great choice, as it’s an oil-absorbing, lightweight gel stick foundation that blends well with the skin and gives an evenly-toned look. But, if your love for BB creams doesn’t seem to fade away, try the Maybelline New York Clear Glow BB Cream which not only moisturises and smoothens your skin but offers ideal sun protection.

BEFRIEND THE PRIMER

Make a wise investment in a good primer as it acts like a natural skin shield and protects it from dust and water. Filling up the pores, it also reduces perspiration thereby helping your make-up to stay up longer. Try Lakmé Absolute Blur Perfect Primer which is waterproof, lightweight and has a smooth matte texture that lasts long and covers imperfections.
