The rainy season can be a dilemma if you’re a makeup junkie. Throw humidity and pollution into the mix, and you definitely have a problem.
To achieve that fresh-for-the-rainy-days look, skip the thick layers of makeup and instead, arm yourself with beauty basics to make you look lovely even when skies are gray.
Focus on good skin care and a great primer.
The Face Shop’s Face It Velvet Skin Primer is one of my favorite prep products because it gives a smooth finish that conceals pores for a flawless look.
Not only does it make your makeup last longer, it brightens your skin through its texture, tone and radiance.
Enhacing your complexion is the key ingredient called perfect seed, a combination of cloudberry seed extract, quinoa seed extract and chamomile flower extract acquired from various places around the world.
Find the perfect mascara
The best ones are those that don’t deteriorate as the day wears on and those that build volume without clumping up.
The Face Shop Waterproof Mascara (#02 Daily Proof) has an hourglass-shaped brush which helps separate lashes to achieve a volumized effect.
This sweat-and oil-resistant mascara can keep up with a hectic—and drama-filled—schedule. So go ahead, cry during an emotional moment or ditch the umbrella and run in the rain because after all is said and done, you’re still going to look fabulous. —CONTRIBUTED
