Tips for Lasting Makeup in Rainy Weather

Published

on

Wearing makeup during the rainy season can be daunting because you never know when the rain will start pouring.

Wet seasons can ruin all the time spent on makeup.

However, knowing what to do and applying it can make it easy to manage.

Below are Tips to Follow for Lasting Makeup

Moisturize your Face

Your face needs to be prepared and protected before wearing makeup. Start by applying a moisturizer that suits your skin type, followed by a primer. Moisturizer keeps your skin hydrated, while primer helps to smooth the surface and protects your makeup from wearing off. Look for primers with protective ingredients like silica, which helps control oil and extend makeup wear. Sunscreen is also essential — it protects your skin even on cloudy or rainy days.

Use Waterproof Products

Be selective of the kind of product you use during the rainy season. Use cosmetics that are water-resistant. Examples include waterproof eyeliner, eye shadows, mascara and foundation.

Use Foundations that are Labeled Long-lasting or All-day

When choosing your foundation, go for one labeled ‘long-lasting’ or ‘all-day’ wear. This is because they are formulated to withstand daily activities, weather, and wear without fading.

Use of Translucent Powder

Avoid heavy or tinted powders, as they can alter your foundation’s shade. Instead, use translucent powder to absorb excess oil without affecting color. Use a sponge to press the powder into your skin — not a brush — for more precise application.

Use Setting Spray

Finish with a setting spray to lock your makeup in place and extend its wear time. Setting spray helps prevent your makeup from wearing off or smearing.

Blot, Don’t Wipe

If your makeup gets wet, anyway don’t wipe it off. Instead, gently blot with a tissue. Gentle blotting helps keep your makeup in place and maintain its fresh appearance.

Keep it Simple

Wear a light layer of makeup to avoid smearing. An increase in humidity can lead to sweating, which may cause your makeup to look cakey.

Use water-resistant lipstick

 

Use lipstick that keeps you looking fresh all day. Water-resistant lipsticks can withstand eating, drinking, and other forms of moisture. This is perfect for anyone who needs long-lasting makeup — especially busy professionals.

 

Keep a mini makeup kit 

For quick touch-ups, ensure to keep a mini makeup kit handy to maintain your look. Your kit could include essentials like lip balm, eyeliner, tissues, and blotting paper — depending on your needs.

Rainy days can melt your makeup, wasting all your effort and even make you hesitant to wear it at all. However, with the right tips, your makeup can stay fresh and flawless — rain or shine.
