ns, dense makeup has a risk of being smudged and washed out severely and so light and sheer makeup is more advisable. Use waterproof mascara, transfer-resistant lipsticks and waterproof liners and may even use waterproof foundation, if it is a must for you.

Tips on Monsoon Makeup

It is important to thoroughly wash and cleanse your face before putting on your make up. You can also rub an ice on your face for about five to ten minutes so it can lower the sweating rate of your face. These steps will let your makeup stay for a longer time.

Before wearing monsoon makeup, it is essential to put on a velvety base to cool and refresh your skin. For those who have oily skin, you can use an astringent while for those who have dry and normal skin can use a toner.

Using a foundation is not advisable for monsoon makeup instead a slight powder will do. Sheer films are also best as monsoon makeup. The sheer colors can be light brown, pastel, pink or beige cream eye shadow that can be used as well with eyeliners with thick lines. For lipstick, soft matte is the most preferable one for the ladies. It can be a pink shade or soft brown with sheer gloss.

Avoid wearing lip gloss during the monsoon season.

The main reason is because the rain will cause it to wash off. Instead, be sure to opt for a long lasting lipstick. You can really wear whatever shade of long lasting lipstick you prefer, but remember that it is always best to go natural during any time of the year. Since most people do not tend to overdress during monsoon season, you will probably want to choose shades of pinks, browns or peaches. Reds and bolder colors can easily be worn at night, however.

Grow your eyebrows out before the monsoon season comes.

That way, you will not need to worry about using an eyebrow pencil to achieve the eyebrows that you are interested in. An eyebrow pencil may also wash off your face during monsoon season, which is probably something that you may be too embarrassed by to want to experience. The best thing that you can do is pluck, trim or wax your eyebrows to get the design that you want.

Preparing the Base

Base of makeup is prepared by foundation. If you can do without it, nothing is better than that. If necessary, apply as little as possible. If you apply cream foundation, it gets melt with water easily. Powder foundations are better than this. Face powder is even better.

You can use silicon base foundation as it gets blended with skin and becomes its part. On the other hand, if you use water-based foundation, it will get patchy with even one drop of water. You can apply just moisturizer and then translucent powder. Do not apply excess of powder; instead use it sparingly because when wet it gives sickly and chalky look.

The first step is to take care of the skin. The following can be done to maintain a helathy skin which has good complexion also.

Cleanse the skin for the removal of oils and makeups before sleeping.

Gentle scrubs can be used daily whereas application of ****** masks is dvised only once a week.

These will help to keep the skin fresh and pores clear.

The teenagers do not require any foundation. Just use a concelaer in case you have any belmishes that need to be covered.

The next step in applying makeup is to apply suncscreen to protect your skin for future looks. You can use tinted bronzers that will add colour to the natural glow you have. Apply it in places where the heat of the sun will be felt more – like cheeks, nose, chin as well s the forehead.

Use a mineral makeup to keep your skin bright. Then blend it using a foundation brush so that you have a smooth look.

Now start applying makeup to your eyes. Keep your eyes always

bright without over application of the makeup.

The eyeliner should be applied as a part of eye maekup only on the outer rim of your eyes. This will help to make your eyes look large. Use pencils to make dots in between your eyelashes. Then smudge them so that the makeup will look more natural.

The final step is the application of ameup tio the lips to make it attractive. Keep your lips smooth by applying lip balms. Use lipsticks which are natural coloured so that your lips will not look as if it is overloaded with makeup.

Lip plumpers along with lip gloss can be added as a part of applying maekup to the lips if you want your thinner lips to appear fuller.
