How do you fix cakey makeup during the monsoon season?
Cleansing, toning, and moisturizing are essential before applying makeup. Then, use a good-quality primer at the beginning of your makeup. However, it is best to avoid high-coverage foundations. Instead, use low-coverage or tinted foundations.
How can dry skin and acne be managed during the monsoon?
For everyday makeup, do not use foundation. You can use BB cream, CC cream, or tinted foundation. Additionally, those with sensitive or acne-prone skin should choose makeup and skincare products according to your skin.
What type of makeup is suitable for sensitive skin?
For sensitive skin, always apply minimal makeup. Use a light foundation and compact powder. For eye kajal, you can use a waterproof variant.

Sunscreen:
During the monsoon, many people skip sunscreen in their makeup routine. This is a big mistake. Using sunscreen is crucial.
