Rainy Season-Proof Your Makeup: Tips & Tricks From a Pro

Article (news)

<p>The summer season can make keeping your makeup on your face quite the challenge but equally as challenging? The rainy season. It’s the same struggle, just in a different font. There’s humidity and unexpected showers to deal with in place of extreme heat and sweat. The good news is that a few simple changes to your beauty routine can make all the difference. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1786072436762Angeline 1.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Angeline Dela Cruz with Chie Filomeno</span></span></span>Lucky for us, professional makeup artist <a href="https://www.instagram.com/angelinedelacruz_/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Angeline Dela Cruz</a> was generous enough to impart to us some of her years&#x27; worth of beauty knowledge and gave us tips on how to make your makeup stay. Angeline is a sought-after makeup artist known for her editorial beauty looks and is a trusted makeup artist by celebrities like <strong>Catriona Gray, Chie Filomeno, Janine Gutierrez, </strong>and <strong>BJ Pascual.</strong></div><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1786072454662Angeline dela Cruz.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br/></div><p>To make it simple, Angeline says having a trusty routine is the key to season-proofing your makeup— from using the right base to finishing strong with a good setting spray. “The weather in Manila is tricky, so you want a routine that will stand the test of high humidity and rain. This routine will help to lock your makeup in.” Bonus: she even shares what particular products hold permanent residency in her pro kit. </p><p>Below, discover expert-approved tips and techniques to help your makeup stay looking fresh and long-lasting throughout the day.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Proper application is essential</strong></div><p>When it comes to having a good base, knowing how to apply it well is as important as picking the right foundation or skin tint for your skin. Not going heavy-handed when laying down your base will make a world of difference. Angeline advises, “Keeping it thin and well blended will always be part of my advice for long-lasting makeup! I love The Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation. The new formula is thin, breathable, and great for every day!”</p><p><strong>Angeline’s pick:</strong> Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Makeup, Shop <a href="https://rustans-thebeautysource.com/en/product/estee-lauder-double-wear-stay-in-place-makeup/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a></p><div><br/><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1786072511722Estee Lauder foundation.jpg" style="width:500px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><strong>Set it right</strong></div><p>Setting your makeup is a step you shouldn’t skip if you want it to have a fighting chance in this weather. Different areas of your face may have different needs when it comes to powders, so don’t shy away from using two different ones if you need to. “Don’t forget to set the base with a translucent powder for a budge-proof base. I recommend the OG. The Laura Mercier powders will always be in my kit! They’re lightweight and set the liquid products in place. I use the Loose Translucent Powder for the T-Zone, then the Flawless Feather Matte Powder Foundation all over the face. A trick that I like to do is to spray a thin layer of setting spray on the face before setting with the loose powder just to really lock in that base!”</p><p><strong>Angeline’s pick:</strong> Laura Mercier Translucent Powder, Shop <a href="https://rustans-thebeautysource.com/en/product/laura-mercier-loose-setting-powder/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>, Laura Mercier Real Flawless Feather Matte Powder Foundation, Shop <a href="https://rustans-thebeautysource.com/en/product/laura-mercier-loose-setting-powder/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a></p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1786072623462Laura-Mercier-Loose-Setting-Powder-Translucent.jpg" style="width:500px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1786072663983laura mercier powder.jpg" style="width:500px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Seal the deal</strong></div><p>Now, to really lock in your makeup, a good setting spray is your best friend. If you really want to secure your base and avoid it slipping and sliding throughout the day, this is going to be your most important step. “A good setting spray is a must to ensure that your makeup is sealed and waterproof!” One important thing to keep in mind too is that when it comes to setting sprays, makeup artists are one of the most reliable sources of dependable recommendations. In their field of work, they need makeup to survive hours-long photo shoots, indoor (and even outdoor!) weddings, fashion shows, and any kind of harsh environment you can think of. For Angeline, her loyalty belongs to one that’s Filipino-owned: “One/Size is the one I recommend for life. They have a travel size as well!” </p><p><strong>Angeline’s pick:</strong> One/Size On Til Dawn Setting Spray, Shop <a href="https://www.sephora.ph/products/one-size-on-til-dawn-setting-spray/v/46ml?srsltid=AfmBOopzE4jplFlTJO6tKsz7UjrgoII2WMoVtd_0vNnh_B5Y3TjcJw4W" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a></p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1786072716517one_size.PNG" style="width:500px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p><strong>Metro</strong> Tip: Even if you use hardworking products and prepare before heading out the door, having some beauty products with you can make you feel more secure when a sudden need for touch-up arises. We recommend stashing some travel-sized products in a handy pouch so you can just pop it in your bag and easily transfer it to another one if you need to. </p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1786072749574bash slip pouch.jpeg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Consider BASH*’s candy colored slip pouches that can fit a lot more than it looks! Slip in some blotting papers, a neutral lippie you can apply without looking in the mirror (that can also double as a blush and eyeshadow when you’re in a pinch!), an eyeliner if you need to change up your look, and a mini hydrating mist when your skin needs a little pick-me-up. BASH* Slip Pouch, Shop <a href="https://www.bash.com.ph/products/slip-pouch-in-recess" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a></p>
