Top 5 Makeup Must Haves This Monsoon

Top 5 Makeup Must Haves This Monsoon

Plum NaturStudio All-Day-Wear Kohl Kajal (Price: Rs. 495/-)
This kohl-cum-liner is smart on looks with it's purple and black body that is housed in a cool prism box packaging. The product holds the look of a gel liner in a simple pencil format. that is gentle on the waterline and glides on the upper lash line without causing any irritation. The formula of this product is enriched with vitamin E and is well suited for sensitive eyes like mine as the product does not sting or cause any irritation. Unlike other waterproof eye liners available in the market, this product stays true to its claim of being 100% smudge proof and 100% waterproof, making it perfect for Monsoon. This product easily lasts for 5-6hours however, post 7hours it tends to fade a bit. Also, did I mention the product is 100% preservative free. The Plum NaturStudio All Day Wear Kohl Kajal is probably one of the best Kajals I have tried till date.

If you are searching for a good drugstore mascara then probably you ought to check out the BeYu Beauty queen Volume Mascara. This product has been one of the best selling mascaras by BeYu and after using it I certainly understand why?! The product is available in 2 variants a waterpoof one and a non-waterproof variant. The attractive teal version is the waterproof variant and the eye catchy orange version is the non-waterproof variant. The chubby brush of the mascara provides an intense volumising effect. One of the best features I noticed is that even though the product provides a dense lash effect, it does not clump the lashes.  For an ultra-voluminous look, you can even layer the product to create a much more dramatic effect. However, since I have been wearing this as a part of my everyday makeup routine I prefer to use only a single layer of it. The formula of this product is enriched with Rice bran ingredients that will help nourish delicate lashes. Also, the waterproof formula will help you avoid panda eyes this season.
Availability: BeYu products are available at Lifestyle, Health & Glow, Central, New U and top beauty stores. (Also, check on www.kaunis.in for the nearest store).

BeYu Beauty Queen Volume Mascara Waterproof

BeYu Color Biggie for Lips & More (Price: Rs. 800/-)
The Color Biggie for Lips & More is undoubtedly one of the best matte lipsticks that you need to add to your collection. This range has a mix of 9 color variants consisting of shades belonging to the Pink, Brown and Red family. Amongst all of them, the shade 408 is my favorite as this subtle rosy nude shade makes the perfect, day wear, nude lippie for dusky beauties. The product has a creamy formula that absolutely glides on the lips and gives full coverage in one single swipe. However, the product settles within a few minutes into a matte finish that does not feel uncomfortable on the lips. Also, you need to be a little careful while applying it as the formula is extremely creamy and may break off from the tip. The staying power of this lipstick is nearly 5-6 hours making it perfect for office wear. The formula of this product is probably its best feature and you absolutely need to try it to believe it for yourself.
Availability: BeYu products are available at Lifestyle, Health & Glow, Central, New U and top beauty stores. (Also, check on www.kaunis.in for the nearest store).
L'Oreal Paris Mat Magique All in one Pressed Powder Foundation (Price: Rs. 420/-)
It is best to avoid liquid foundations and stick to light powder foundations during the monsoons. One such light powder foundation that you can try this monsoon is the L'Oreal Paris Mat Magique All in one Pressed Powder Foundation. This is one of those few products that I had picked up purely because of its adorable and travel-friendly packaging. However, after making an impulsive purchase I completely forgot about this product and it wasn't until recently that I finally tried it. This range is available in 5 shades variants that are made for the Indian skin of which I chose the shade N6 Nude Honey that is a perfect match for my NC40 skin tone. The texture is smooth, lightweight and matte making it perfect for Monsoon. The product is enriched with Volcanic Perlite Minerals that help absorb excess sebum and keeps your skin shine-free. The product gives a light to medium coverage which is perfect for everyday wear. The formula of the product is buildable but I prefer to stick with a natural look by not layering it. Also, the product has an SPF protection of 34 PA+++.

Oriflame The ONE Loose Powder (Translucent)- (Price: Rs. 749/-) 

One of the best ways to make your makeup last longer is to dab some translucent loose powder post your makeup application. The translucent loose powder helps settle the makeup and keeps your skin shine-free for a few hours. The ONE Loose Powder from Oriflame in Translucent is a perfect fit as the product does not add extra unwanted coverage, in turn, making it look cakey. I have a combination skin that appears extra oily in Monsoon and summer on the T-zone, however, one sweep of this finely milled powder helps curb my shiny T-zone to a great extent.
