Dear Rain Gods,
Please don’t bless us with your showers!
Sincerely,
Every girl with her makeup perfectly done
Don’t be ashamed – all of us have prayed for this at some point in our lives! A bit of rain can change a look from fab to drab. Fret not though, we have a few tricks that will monsoon-proof your makeup!

1. Waterproof, waterproof, waterproof!

This one’s a given. Concealer, eyeliner, mascara or lipstick – every single item in your makeup bag MUST be waterproof.

2. BB creams

Humidity and rain have a way of making the lightest foundation seem heavy. Not to mention, smears! Skip the foundation and go for BB creams. These multi-purpose creams provide the ideal amount of coverage and keep your skin hydrated!

3. Blotting sheets

Monsoons and oily skin go hand-in-hand. Banish the oil and keep your makeup intact with Neutrogena blotting sheets.

4. Bright makeup

Ward off the gloom with a pop of colour! Swipe a bold pink on your lips, paint your nails orange or experiment with a turquoise eyeliner – we guarantee that it will brighten up your day!
