The rains have arrived and with them, a barrage of weddings! The monsoons are one of the most romantic seasons in India, so it comes as no surprise to see brides choosing these months for their nuptials. However, since the weather has changed, you brides-to-be require a few special tips to ensure that you look gorgeous on your big day.
1. Everything Must Be Waterproof
Yes, this is a really obvious tip but it needs to be said! From your mascara to your blush, every product needs to be able to withstand water. If you don’t have these products in your arsenal, consider opting for a multi-tasker like Make Up For Ever’s Aqua Seal, which makes all eye makeup waterproof.
2. Primer Is Your New Best Friend
This season often makes your oil glands go into overdrive. Prep your skin with a mattefying primer like MAC’s Prep + Primer Skin Refined Zone to avoid having your makeup slide off your face.
3. Rethink Your Foundation
Water-based foundations are exactly what you need. Not only do they feel weightless, but also provide natural coverage along with tons of hydration. Our pick? Bobbi Brown’s Skin Foundation.
4. Matte Pouts Are In
Skip the glossy lipsticks and go for matte! These trendy products tend to stay put for hours on end and will definitely make a statement. Lakmé’s 9to5 Matte Lipcolor In ‘Red Coat’ is a classic you can’t go wrong with.
5. Stash Away A Setting Spray
Setting sprays are an absolute necessity! Apart from locking down your makeup to prevent it from smudging or flaking, these mists immediately refresh your face. L’Oreal Paris’ Infallible Pro-Spray & Set Makeup Extender Setting Spray is a genius at getting the job done.
