As the monsoon season has set in, it’s time to refresh your makeup routine to suit the dewy and often unpredictable weather. The key to looking fabulous during the rainy days lies in selecting the right products and techniques that enhance your natural beauty while combating the humidity.
To help you navigate the monsoon makeup trends, we’ve turned to two renowned celebrity makeup artists, Renuka Desilva and Alyssa Mendosa, for their expert tips and recommendations.
Renuka Desilva says, “The monsoon season affects our skin due to increased humidity. This leads to clogged pores, breakouts, and dullness. Start with a mattifying primer to control excess oil and create a smooth canvas for your makeup. I personally prefer dewy light weight , Buildable Foundation. When the humidity spikes, powder can cake up and do that weird crumbling thing on skin. Opt for waterproof mascara and kajal to avoid smudging.
Alyssa Mendosa said, “The best skin care routine is to opt for lighter consistency products after you cleanse the skin.A gentle face wash followed by a toner and then serum is great for this season.The toner helps maintain the balance of the skin and excess oils through the day while a serum is lightweight , potent with goodness while hydrating the skin.”
Both experts agree that playing with colors is a must this season. Bright lips and soft eyes can create a balanced yet striking look. Alyssa suggests, “Bold lip colors. Nothing lasts the longest like a liquid matte lipstick. Renuka adds, “I prefer to apply lip balm. Line my lip and then some Lip tint.”
Both suggest a few quick fixes for makeup mishaps caused by sudden rain showers. Renuka suggests maintaining a good skincare routine and using light cream-based products to keep your skin looking fresh and clean.
“A solid skincare regimen is essential. Opt for light, cream-based products that won’t cake up in the humidity,” she recommends. Alyssa advises dabbing instead of wiping your face if you get caught in the rain. “Always dab, never wipe. If your base has shifted, use your fingers to gently tap and blend everything back into place, then leave it to set,” she says.
With these invaluable tips from Renuka Desilva and Alyssa Mendosa, you can effortlessly embrace the monsoon makeup trends and look stunning, rain or shine.
