Avoid these beauty risks during monsoon

Similar to the change in your wardrobe during monsoon, your hair and make-up also needs an alteration during this season. Make-up professional Nishi Mulchandani says, "To make your make-up stay on for long during the rains, you need to change some products and routine to suit the climate."

Ditch that black kohl: While smudged eyes do look great, you don't want to end up looking as if you've cried the entire day! Opt for a gel eyeliner instead. Not only will it stay on for long, but will also give you the same colour depth and intensity.

Keep the liquid foundation off the shelf: If you have a habit of applying liquid foundation when stepping out during the evening, you can alternate that with a compact powder or a BB cream. Beauty professional Meghna Butani says, "The longevity of liquid foundation as opposed to a compact powder is less. Humidity in the air is high during the monsoon, so there is a chance of the liquid foundation melting off your face."

Stay clear off non-waterproof make-up products: Make sure that you give your non-waterproof make-up a break during this time and instead go in for the ones which will protect you from the rains. Butani says, "These days you have all kinds of products which are water-proof - whether it is a kohl, mascara, foundation or even a lip shade." Read more
