While I love the rains, keeping my hair and makeup (and my sanity) intact in this season is an ongoing struggle. Controlling the mammoth frizz situation takes some getting used to, but thankfully we have some killer anti-frizz products to help there. I’ve realised that going makeup-free is the best approach in the rains, especially since I do not fancy eyeliner and mascara running down my face. I love drama in my makeup, but not that much! Which is why the beauty gods invented waterproof eyeliners.
I’ve always been an eyeliner girl. I think it’s the best bet to look put together when you are pressed for time — which is like every morning. However, the insane levels of humidity coupled with oily skin and the rain is a disaster waiting to happen. Precisely why you need to waterproof your beauty arsenal in this season to keep your peepers smudge-free.
Fortunately, there are a ton of waterproof, smudge-proof products to choose from now. Whether you prefer gel formulas over liquid liners, or are partial to pencils, pick your poison because these products can survive a tsunami. (Just kidding!)
