Monsoon Makeup Guide: Waterproof Tips for Humid Season

Beauty experts advise a lightweight, hydration‑first approach to makeup during the monsoon. Snigdha Suman, GM of Marketing at Avon, says, “The secret to a long‑lasting look is choosing lightweight, skin‑friendly formulas that stay put without feeling heavy.” She recommends starting with a hydrating base enriched with hyaluronic acid, followed by a breathable primer.

For colour, cream‑based products such as blushes and highlighters are preferred because they blend seamlessly and resist humidity. Monika Khullar of Anastasia Beverly Hills adds, “Begin your routine with a suitable primer… waterproof formulations help maintain an even finish.” Waterproof eye products—including eyeliner, mascara, and kajal—are essential to prevent smudging. A setting spray designed for humid weather locks the look in place, while tinted lip balms keep lips hydrated.

These steps aim to keep makeup fresh and intact throughout the rainy season.
