Gouri Kapur, celebrity makeup artist, shares some tips on how you can keep your makeup long lasting after you’ve spent those precious few minutes perfecting the look every morning.
- Use a long-stay lipstick. The brands usually tell you how long they will last, but take your own rain check.
- Use a stay-on cream blusher, instead of a powder one, so even if it rains, it doesn’t streak your face.
- Avoid heavy foundation and go for lighter ones. Try using a light powder foundation that sets in well and looks more natural or just use a concealer. The best bet would be a BB cream for summer months as well as monsoons.
- Avoid mascara if you can, but if you want to use it go for a water proof one.
- For your eyelids, try an earthy shade of eye shadow, that’s closest to your skin tone for the monsoon months.
