Makeup memo? Fresh yet long-lasting base, sun-kissed blush and glossy lips, always!
As the swimwear gets maximal with full-coverage swimsuits, hand-beaded embroideries and striking colours, the makeup goes minimal, clean and more natural. Perfectly balanced, right? Whether it’s dilly-dallying along the shore, sun-basking on the poolside chaise or enjoying a groovy sundowner, you would want a makeup routine that travels with you all day, just like your modest swimwear for women in India. When wearing swimsuits with coverage, the role of makeup and hair becomes even more nuanced. Your look of the day should be glam but functional.
To keep your makeup sweat-proof, keep your layers light. A clean, dewy base with earthy blush suits the Indian skin best – ideal to complement a swimsuit with leggings or activewear swimsuits. Our mini guide is just what you need to create a simple yet impactful makeup routine:
Step one: priming with SPF
While our UV-protected modest swimsuits and dresses already up the ante for blocking the sun, you must prep your skin with sunscreen prior to your makeup steps. We recommend opting a gel-based primer, which is sweatproof and completely skin absorbent.
Step two: skin-like serum tint for base
To enhance your complexion for an even tone and long-lasting hydration, go for a serum-based formula. This will ensure that your skin retains the moisture and has a dewy sheen. The melt-in texture will give you that, your skin, but better look!
Step three: hydrating concealer for light coverage
To cover any blemishes or even out your under eyes, try spot concealing. A lightweight, liquid formula will leave a natural finish, brighten the skin, and it won’t crease under the sun.
Step four: sun-kissed soft blush
For that beautiful natural flush on cheeks, that lies somewhere between sun-kissed and sun-burned, a peachy-terracotta blush will do the trick for Indian skin tones. Dab on a buttery-creamy blush (you are allowed to go slightly overboard) onto your cheeks to finish the base.
Step five: brush the brows and lashes
Usually, the eyes are of utmost importance when donning a covered swimwear; however, to maintain the natural beach look, simply blend in your blush with fingers onto your eyelids and apply a waterproof mascara. For the brows, use a clear gel to brush the arches and set them slick.
Step six: glossy-tinted lips
Sun’s out, gloss out? Of course, yes! Sunlight reflecting over high-shine, glazed lips is the energy we need in summers. Tint your lips in a nude colour and let the gloss do its thing.
Step seven: mattifying setting spray to seal the deal
A few sprays of setting spray all over your face is the last step (maybe second to a selfie) in the routine. A mattifying formula will set the makeup to last in the beachy air and sweating. This transfer-proof beach makeup is also perfect to protect your modest swimwear!
Your vacation glow is the real deal here, so don’t forget to chill, have lots of fluids and enjoy your time at the beach.
