Move in style this monsoon


Soaked denims, boots becoming water containers, dampened makeup, messed-up hair and washed out state is a common sight every monsoon. No wonder people complain, “I hate this season!”

Here  are some helpful hints to guide you
Denims are out. Wear cottons and light fabrics, bring out those capris and three fourths.

Go savvy with dazzling umbrellas and rain coats. It will keep your gloomy mood at bay! Choose from a range available at stores and roadside vendors.

Steer clear from leather boots and high-heeled sandals. Sneakers and flat sandals are the best bet.

Avoid whites and other light colours, unless you want muddy patches as designs.
Do not oil or gel your hair during this season.

Apply non-transferable lipstick, water-proof mascara and eyeliner. Go only for branded cosmetics.

Some useful tips
Powder: Dab it on your nose to avoid the oiliness. Powder on naked skin. Avoid excess use as it gives the skin a chalky look.

Foundation: Avoid using it. Use face powder instead. Otherwise you will have a streaky face in the rain.

Mascara and eyeliner: Forget eyeliners this season. Try using a kajal pencil. Apply a darker eye shadow on your eyelids. Use only waterproof mascara.

Eye shadow and blush: Sheer and pastel shades steal the show this season. Choose light pink, nude or sheer green and light purple for your eyes,

For cheeks, stick to the colour that your cheeks get, when in the sun, say bronze or pretty rose. Apply blush lightly. Never go for rouges, it looks a mess.

Eyebrows: Overlook the eyebrow pencil. Keep up with your threading/tweezing. Add a little hair gel onto a brow brush to keep your eyebrows shapely. Clear mascara works well too.

LipsUse long-stay, water-resistant lipstick. Avoid liquid lipcolours.
