Why Monsoon Makeup Needs a Strategy

Increased humidity causes makeup to melt or crease, excess moisture leads to smudged eyeliner and runny mascara, and sweaty skin can make your base slip off entirely. So, monsoon makeup should be:

Lightweight

Long-wearing

Smudge-proof

Water-resistant (or better, waterproof)

Step 1: Skin Prep is Everything

Cleanse ? Tone ? Moisturize ? Prime

Start with a gel-based cleanser to control oil and prevent clogged pores.

Use a non-alcoholic toner to balance skin.

Choose a light, oil-free moisturizer with SPF.

Most importantly—use a mattifying, sweat-resistant primer. This helps your makeup grip the skin better.

Step 2: Base That Won’t Budge

Ditch heavy foundations. Opt for BB creams or matte, waterproof foundations.

Apply using a damp beauty sponge for a sheer, even finish.

Set everything with a translucent, waterproof setting powder—especially the T-zone.

For blush and contour, use cream formulas and seal them with powder-based versions for extra longevity.

Step 3: Eye Makeup that Survives a Downpour

Use waterproof eyebrow gel instead of pencils for a locked-in shape.

Cream eyeshadows or liquid eyeshadow sticks stay longer than powders.

Skip kajal if it smudges easily—instead, try a gel eyeliner or smudge-proof liquid liner.

Finish with a waterproof mascara (or tubing mascara) to avoid raccoon eyes.

Step 4: Lips that Last

Choose matte liquid lipsticks over glosses and creamy textures.

Use a lip liner to define and seal edges.

Avoid sticky textures—rain and wind can make your hair stick to glosses.

Pro tip: Carry tinted lip balm in your bag for mid-day touch-ups.

Step 5: Seal the Look

A setting spray with water-resistant and oil-controlling properties is your monsoon makeup BFF. Look for sprays labeled as “matte finish,” “longwear,” or “humidity control.”

Bonus: Go With the Glow

Embrace the natural dewiness monsoon brings. Skip heavy highlighters and go for soft cream illuminators that blend into the skin. Opt for earthy tones, peachy blushes, and fresh finishes that feel seasonal and light.
