BENGALURU: With the mercury rising, our day-to-day beauty routine needs a modification. With all the heat and sweat, the last thing one needs is to worry about blotchy make up and smudged Kajal that accentuates dark circles and make eyes look tired. Here are some easy tips to keep your make up regimen simplified and fuss free for the summer.
Do away with foundation. Use concealer only in the area where it's required most and blend it.
The best product for the summer is a slightly tinted moisturiser with sunscreen. This one product take cares of all your needs, hydrates your skin, protects the skin and gives an even skin tone.
I personally avoid blush tones during the day but if you need, then go with sheers.
Dab a little foundation on your lips before you apply any lip wear as it will last much longer and will hold better. Always remember to keep lips moistened with chapstick or a petroleum jelly as a bed time ritual.
The eyes are the most tricky specially for us Indian women who love our kohl lined drama. I suggest, you invest in a good quality, water resistant gel eye-liner that can be applied with a brush and will last through the day. Pair it with a water-resistant mascara and your eye makeup is taken care of for the summers. Remember to keep wet wipes and tissues handy in your bag to dab out sweat.
Go ahead, embrace the sunshine without a worry and shine on !
