During the monsoon season, one needs makeup that suits the weather. Normal cosmetic products won’t survive 95% humidity and constant rain. Waterproof makeup becomes a necessity in such weather conditions.
This is the makeup that stands the test of time in the monsoon.
Understanding Waterproof vs Humidity-Proof
Before suggesting any products, understand the difference.
Waterproof = resists water (rain, tears). Uses silicone or wax bases that repel moisture.
Humidity-Proof = resists environmental moisture (the toughest monsoon challenge). These use mattifying agents and sweat-resistant technology.
The best monsoon products combine both qualities.
