With new ideas and the latest innovations, mascara stained eyes and patchy makeup is a thing of the past. A couple of foolproof ideas to get you through those bleak dreary days.

Lasting lashes, waterproof makeup and matte lipstick are the best options for those whom the possibilities of getting soaked are high.

Makeup for the day should be minimal and subdued with a hint of eyeliner, natural waterproof skin base and a lip colour that compliments the user. The range of cosmetics available in the Indian marketplace is trendy, of good quality and worth a try.

It's good to experiment with a number of brands and products to find one that suits a skin type and fits within an estimated budget. Brands like Chambor, Revlon, and Lakme are top of the line in terms of quality and price, with Maybelline and Avon following suit.

International brands like M.A.C are undoubtedly the best and cost a small fortune. The matte range of lipsticks are the preferred choice and a good option for a day out during the monsoons. For the Indian version Maybelline matte lipsticks are super substitutes.

For an evening out Lakme's ultra glossy lipsticks can do wonders for a voluptuous and trendy look. To create a matte look, take a tissue and press over the lips to remove any excess and dab some face compact powder over the lips to create the most sought after matte finish.

It would seem like a pointless ritual to set, style and reinvent hairstyles during a wet season. To avoid a flat, damp or frizzy look, conditioning and a neat tieback is a favourable solution, with an occasional trip or two to the salon for a therapeutic and rejuvenating hair massage to revitalise those damp roots.

A bit of care should be taken while dressing up during those ceaseless rainy days, like making sure that any of the make up worn will not run, or bleed and stain an otherwise perfect face. Always make sure to carry some tissue and some handy sure-shot cosmetics to avoid any disasters.
