When we say sweatproof makeup, most of you do question later on asking, “I am still sweating, what did I do wrong?”
Well, to answer your question, sweatproof makeup does not necessarily stop your sweat. Sweating is a natural process that your body carries out to keep you cool. Sweat glands will do its job no matter what makeup you are wearing or not. But what sweatproof makeup actually does is, it keeps your makeup in place and resists it from melting away along with your sweat. And, this also means that your makeup is resistant to water as well.
This means it is a complete win-win situation for a summer bride? Absolutely yes! But it is also a great pick for anyone on any day because summers, monsoons and the humid weather right now is here to stay for a while.
Let’s check out a few sweat proof makeup tips…
Cleansing
Cleansing is an important step before starting your makeup, no matter what weather or occasion it is. Cleansing deeply cleans out your pores and gets rid of dirt, grime and dust. It also washes away your sweat, making your skin absolutely clean and ready for the next step.
Icing
Only a sweet tooth would read this tip heading otherwise! Lol! No, we don’t mean cake icing but more like ice cubes kind of icing. Fancy ice rollers came in to the market recently, but this technique of icing your skin is pretty old. All you need to do is take a cotton pad and wrap in an ice cube and glide it all over your face. This helps in minimizing your pores and reduce excessive sweating as well. This hack also refreshes your skin from within giving it a natural glow.
Face Mist
Normally, this is the step where you usually moisturize, but here we will use a face mist instead. A face mist is much lighter in texture and it does the job of a moisturizer as well. Using a face mist means that your moisturization is done but without the excess moisture that tends to elevate sweating after a while.
Tissue Pat
Once, your makeup is done, like we mentioned earlier that sweating is normal and it will happen no matter what. So, here’s what you need to do when you sweat. Take a soft dry face tissue and gentle pat and press on areas where you have sweated. Make sure you are not gliding or wiping off because that would only ruin your makeup. Light pats will do your job well.
Powder off
Once your tissue patting is done, take your face loose powder or compact powder and dust off a little all over your face. This will make your makeup look absolutely fresh and untouched.
These are few sweatproof makeup tips that you can try out next time you are getting ready for a monsoon wedding or maybe just for yourself.
