How to make your make-up free of monsoon blues

This rainy season, wave away your monsoon make-up worries of kajal smudges or foundation running down the face, as the new formulas and clever application techniques are here to help you get through the season.

Bollywood make-up artist, Ojas Rajani suggests to "choose the right products and then apply them correctly. Avoid heavy layers of makeup as the more you apply, the more is at risk of melting."

Actress Alia Bhatt admitted that she always used a liquid foundation, and the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 Oil-Free, acts as a multi-tasker since it consists of SPF 20 and helps protect from the sun.

Meanwhile, Rod Anker, Creative Director of Monsoon Salon and Spa says, "Opt for a tinted moisturizer if you have dry or combination skin."

He also suggested reaching for mineral foundation for oily skin, which they use at their spa and salon, as its powder formulas help soak up oil and provide sun protection.

Celebrity make-up artist Mally Roncal has come up with a new balm-like Mally Beauty Face Defender, which has a clear setting gel that mattifies and invisibly seals everything in place when applied on skin over any type of makeup for upward of 20 hours.
