Makeup Tips for a Flawless Rainy Day Look
If you’re looking to keep your makeup looking its best during the rainy season, we’ve got some tips for you! While rain can make you feel gloomy, it shouldn’t ruin your makeup application, or your confidence. Here are some simple makeup tips for rainy weather that will keep you looking great no matter what Mother Nature throws at you. If you can handle a little rain, you can handle this makeup look! And if all else fails, use one of these handy umbrellas to stay dry and keep on rocking your favorite summertime fashions!
1) Switch from heavy foundations
Heavy foundations can cake and melt in the rain, leaving you with an uneven complexion. Instead, opt for a lightweight BB or CC cream to even out your skin tone. For extra coverage, spot-conceal problem areas with a waterproof concealer. Not only will this keep your makeup looking beautiful, but it will also save you time on touch-ups throughout the day.
After foundation, you can apply a light setting powder. The main role of setting powder is to set your makeup in place so it doesn’t rub off or fade throughout the day. Although some powders come with color pigments, they’re generally translucent and invisible once applied. To apply powder to your face, use a powder puff dusted with loose powder or pick up loose powder from an empty compact and sweep it over your face. Just make sure not to use too much, as over-applying can dry out your skin and look cakey. You can also mix loose or pressed setting powders with liquid foundation or tinted moisturizer for added coverage if needed.
2) Try cream blushes
A cream blush is a beautiful way to add a pop of color to your rainy day look. When applied correctly, it can give you a natural flush that will make you look fashion-forward and stylish. Plus, it’s the perfect way to add some extra moisture to your skin during the rainy season. Here are seven tips for applying cream blush like a pro:
1. Start with clean, moisturized skin.
2. Apply primer if you have oily skin.
3. Choose a blush that compliments your skin tone.
4. Use a small amount of product.
5. Blend well for a natural finish.
6. Set with powder if needed.
7. Add the rest of your makeup and enjoy your flawless look!
3) Wash your face more often than usual
It’s important to keep your skin clean when it’s raining outside because the humidity can lead to breakouts. Washing your face more often than usual will help prevent that. Plus, it’ll give you an excuse to use a cute, stylish raincoat!
Here are some other tips for keeping your makeup looking flawless on a rainy day:
1) Use waterproof mascara and eyeliner. This will help prevent your makeup from running if you get caught in the rain.
2) Use a primer before applying foundation. This will help your makeup stay in place and prevent it from getting blotchy.
3) Set your makeup with a setting powder or spray. This will help keep your makeup from melting away in the humidity.
4) Use oil-free moisturizer for a matte finish
One of the worst things about rainy days is that they can ruin your makeup. Your foundation can start to look patchy, your mascara can run, and your face can end up looking shiny. But don’t worry, there are ways to prevent this! One tip is to use an oil-free moisturizer to create a matte finish. This will help your foundation stay in place and prevent your face from looking too greasy. Another great tip is to use waterproof mascara and eyeliner. This will help keep your makeup looking fresh all day long, no matter what the weather is like.
5) Always curl your lashes
Curling your lashes is one of the most important steps in achieving a flawless rainy day look. It opens up your eyes and makes them appear bigger and brighter. Plus, it helps your mascara go on more evenly and prevents it from clumping. Here’s how to do it take an eyelash curler and open it up, clamping it around your lash line. Gently squeeze the handles together, holding your eye closed at the same time (if you don’t close your eye when you’re doing this, you’ll be looking straight down at the floor!). Release after about 10 seconds and repeat until desired effect is achieved. Then grab some mascara – our favorite formula for any occasion – apply two coats to each lash with a clean wand or makeup brush, gently wiggling them through from root to tip.
6) Go back to natural eye shadow colors, always browns and grays
The key to nailing a rainy day makeup look is to keep it simple. Stick to natural colors that compliment your skin tone, like browns and grays. These colors will help to create a smokey eye without looking too harsh. To achieve this look, start by applying a light eyeshadow base all over your lid. Then, use a medium-colored shadow in the crease of your eye, blending it outwards. Finally, use a dark shadow along your lash line, smudging it slightly for a sexy, rain-drenched look.
To finish your eyes, apply a waterproof mascara on your top and bottom lashes. Then, add some volume to your lashes by curling them with an eyelash curler and applying two coats of volumizing mascara. To get even more volume, you can also apply lash extensions!
7) Use waterproof mascara, even if you don’t wear it all day.
Waterproof mascara is key to avoiding panda eyes, which no one wants. Plus, it can help your makeup last longer in general, even if you don’t get caught in the rain. Here are a few tips for applying it:
-Start with a clean, dry face.
-If you wear contacts, put them in before you start your makeup routine.
-Apply your usual foundation and concealer.
-Use an eyelash curler before applying mascara.
-Wiggle the wand back and forth as you apply the mascara to your lashes.
-Do a second coat if necessary.
-Finish the rest of your makeup as usual!
