Makeup Tips for Rainy Weather

With the constant downpour along the metro, it’s hard to keep your   makeup spotless. Sure, the cool weather weighs down your usually   frizzy hair as well as to minimize oil build-up on your  skin but the   season often calls for back-up as it promises a surprise shower on a   hectic day. There’s no need to compromise your usual look, and you   always have to remember to use products that are light and most   importantly, waterproof. Don’t worry, these products are easy to find   here in the city!

Makeup Base

Although your usual moisturizer, foundation, powder and concealer   would depend on your skin type, if you have dry skin you must remember   to be generous in the application of your usual moisturizer as the   cold weather has the tendency to make your skin drier. Powder will   prove to be the best tool to offer a slight shimmer and mask the   beauty flaws at the same time. This will stick to your complexion   rather than any kind of foundation. It will require a quick touch up   during the day, however it guarantees the spotless effect. Fanny   Serrano’s Two-Way Cake offers optimal coverage and offers a range of   colors made exclusively for ‘Pinay’ skin. It retails at P399 but if   you think it’s to hefty for powder, a great alternative is Fashion   21’s Two-Way Cake, the brand is a sister company of Fanny Serrano and   offers variants suitable for your complexion and it’s needs.

Eye Makeup

Rain immediately means waterproof mascara. Since a normal mascara   would quickly smudge when in contact with humidity it is recommended   to use a special formula that will resist the extreme weather   conditions. Your best bet would be Fashion 21’s Double Up Mascara at   P225. Be warned though, waterproof mascara can be hard to rub off. Be   gentle on your eyes as you remove the product with your favorite   makeup remover. A good pick would be Pond’s Cold Cream at P185.85

Another way to brighten your look on a gloomy day is to opt for a   flesh-toned eyeliner instead of your usual black. It’s an instant   pick-me-up and it keeps you looking fresh. A popular choice among   makeup artists and junkies alike is  Nichido’s Minerals/Spot Concealer   pencil at P139.

Blush

It is a common mistake that ladies seem to commit during each monsoon   season. Namely that they use a blush with an inappropriate texture.   The rainy days scream for complex compositions, that’s why it is a   golden rule that when sporting a monsoon-proof makeup we should choose   a mousse cream blush or a cheek stain that can resist the impact of   humidity. NYX’s Rouge Cream blushes offer an array of colors that can   be paired with your complexion and prove to be long-lasting. You can   grab one at www.bluebliss.com.ph. or at their store Blue Bliss located   at the ground floor of Raintree Mall for P350. Another favorite  among  teens is Nichido’s Cheek Tint for P128. Did you know that these   products can be multipurpose too? You can use these on the lips to   boost your complexion!

Lip Makeup

Lip gloss is the top notch no-no beauty product of the monsoon season.   It might get in contact with humidity which can result in smudging  and  at least said unflattering look. That’s why you should rather  rely on  high quality lipstick that will fabulously top your makeup.  There are  several formula and brands on the market that guarantee a  long-lasting  effect. You can use the products I mentioned above or  you can opt for  long-lasting lipsticks. Revlon offers a wide range of  colors and  finishes that duplicated high end brands. You can score a  good deal at  Chedelyn’s Cosmetics Collection    (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Chedelyns-Cosmetics-Collection/196882523658451)for P485 compared to the mall price of P675! From first-hand   experience, i can guarantee all items are authentic. (Curated by Jessy  Pearl)
