Must-Know Makeup Tips for Rainy Days

Are you struggling with your makeup on rainy days? Don’t worry, I have discovered some secrets that will help you feel confident even when it’s pouring outside. Let me share them with you.

First and foremost, remember to keep your makeup light and avoid using a towel to wipe your face. Rubbing your face with a towel will make the pigments on your skin appear more noticeable. Now, let’s move on to the next secrets for applying makeup on different parts of your face.

Choose a good adhesive foundation

The foundation is a crucial step in your makeup routine. Using just powder may seem quick and easy, but it will dry out your skin and easily wash away with sweat or rainwater.

To ensure your foundation stays put, use a foundation that matches your skin tone, such as BB or CC cream. Apply a small amount on your forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin, then blend it evenly using your hand or a makeup sponge. Make sure the foundation looks natural and is evenly applied.

Once the foundation has dried slightly, lightly dust a thin layer of translucent powder all over your face. The moisturizing foundation will help the powder adhere and give you a flawless look that can withstand sweat and rain.

Opt for wax or cream cosmetics

After completing your overall face makeup, it’s time to focus on your eyebrows, eyes, lips, and blush to add more life to your look. Since powder cosmetics tend to wash away, it’s best to use wax or cream formulas during rainy weather.

For eyebrows: Shape your eyebrows using a compact eyebrow color instead of powder. Use a moist brush to apply a small amount of compact color and shape your eyebrows. Then, gradually darken the tail. You can also use a non-smudge mascara to draw along the eyebrow line for a natural look.

For eyes: Use an eyeliner pencil to prevent smudging when in contact with water. Choose your favorite brand and apply it to your upper and lower eyelids as usual.

For mascara: Start with clear mascara to lengthen and curl your lashes, then follow up with a smudge-proof mascara. Apply the mascara in a zigzag motion to prevent clumping. Your eyelashes will look naturally long. Remember to choose a high-quality mascara that won’t smudge or flake.

For blush: Cream blushes are a great option during the rainy season. Apply a thin layer of blush on your cheeks and use a makeup sponge to blend it evenly. If you don’t have cream blush, you can use lipstick instead. Apply the lipstick on the palm of your hand in a circular shape, then gently pat it on your cheeks before blending. This quick blush method will surprise you.

For lips: Opt for pencil or long-lasting lipsticks that won’t smudge or bleed, even in rainy weather. Apply a thin layer of lipstick and let it dry before adding another layer for the desired color. This will help your lipstick stay on longer and keep you radiant throughout the day.

If you follow these makeup methods correctly, you will feel extremely confident, even in the rain. The best part is that even if your face gets wet and you need to dry it with a towel, you will look even more beautiful than before. Don’t believe me?
