Makeup for the rainy season

CEBU, Philippines — The fashion-conscious have since gotten around the issue of the rains spoiling their outfits. There have been stylish ways devised to make them stand up to the challenge of the rains and still look dashing. There are fashion rain boots, raincoats, umbrellas etc.

Sadly, though, outfit alone does not get the “total look” fully covered. An equally important factor can still be held hostage by the frequent downpours. Even die-hard rain lovers often complain about what the rain does to their makeup.

Again, it requires creativity and the right kind of materials. Yes, one needs to improvise – to nicely adapt to the season. The following rainy-day makeup tips from the website www.rewardme.in will help:
Choose waterproof mascara.

Running mascara is one of the first dangers of a monsoon spell. And that’s a terrible thing to have. In order to avoid looking like a character in a horror movie, go for mascara with the mark ‘waterproof’ on the box.
Go for good quality lipstick of the right color.

Lipstick can add a nice dash of color to a rainy-day outfit. But it takes good quality for lipstick to hold itself under the rain. For lipstick to cut it and aptly contribute to a ravishing look even in the rain, a good quality lipstick of the right color is an investment that’s really worth it.
Try tinted moisturizers.

One of the key things to keep in mind during the rainy season is to sport a waterproof foundation. And a thin coat of tinted moisturizer works much better and lasts far longer than regular foundation. It’s the foundation that mostly determines the outcome.
Use a primer.

Primer helps prevent the tinted moisturizer from melting off – that’s one of the best things that primer does. It helps the makeup to stay in place when one is caught in a sudden rain.

Prefer a cream blush-on.

Powder blush-on is great for bright, sunny days – but it does not do during the rains. Cream blush-on holds much better in damp weather. Cream blush-on of the right shade can really make the look, and stick like a best friend.
Wearing makeup has been a very long tradition with women. The practice is proven to enhance one’s looks, from way back in ancient Egypt, where physical beauty was considered holy. Today, even men have adopted it; the men realize that makeup delivers the look for them, as well.

Many people – men and women – feel ‘naked’ without their makeup on. Women wear theirs with a sense of audacity; while men have it very lightly, just to brighten up the face. At any rate, makeup has become an essential to many people that not even the rains should get in its way.
