The gumboots are ready, your favorite watermelon-print umbrella sits in a corner, and you’ve packed an extra pair of clothes, just in case. Ready to brave the Rain Gods? Not quite.
You haven’t monsoon-proofed your life if you’re still stuck with makeup products that take less than a drizzle to wash away. Luckily, Maybelline New York is here to keep makeup meltdowns at bay, so you can stop worrying about raccoon eyes and feathered lips.
’Bout That Base
An ideal waterproof makeup look starts with a base that can survive a cloudburst. Sadly, liquid and cream foundations aren’t quite fit for the mucky season. We’d instead recommend a lightweight, gel-based foundation like the Maybelline New York Fit Me Shine Free Stick Foundation.
If you’re more of a BB cream chick, here’s your monsoon pick. The specialized mineral clay formula of the Maybelline New York Clear Glow Bright Benefit Cream conceals flaws and moisturizes your skin, without risking a rainy disaster.
Rain or no rain, stepping out sans naturally flushed cheeks is a no-no. Choose your cheeky color of the day from the Maybelline Color Show Blush range and say hello to a non-chalky, lightweight texture that provides gorgeous payoff in a single application.
That’s How Eye Roll
Eyes are, hand down, the trickiest part of monsoon makeup. One wrong move and you could be panicking for a wet wipe in no time. First up, lock away that liquid liner for the next few months. And swear by the Maybelline New York Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner for long-lasting, budge-proof drama.
With a mind-blowing promise of 16 hours, the Maybelline New York Colossal Kajal Super Black is meant for women who consider kohl their lady Friday for life, come rain of shine. Swipe this beauty across your waterline and rock kohl-rimmed eyes, even in the rains.
Talk about fearing the wrath of mascara-ed peepers gone wrong. Luckily for us, the Maybelline New York Volum Express Waterproof Hyper Curl Mascara has got our back (and lashes). Expressive, voluminously curled lashes for 18 hours straight.
Read My Lips
No matter how much of a sucker you are for glosses and liquid lippies, you gotta stay miles away such formulations during the monsoons ’cause they feather real quick. Your safest bet would be a killer matte lip treat, like the Maybelline New York Color Sensational Powder Matte Lipstick.
That being said, you could also hoard on the Maybelline New York Baby Lips Color Balm during the damp season. A handy retractable stick that keeps your pout hydrated while it rains cats and dogs outside… literally all the comfort a woman needs.
