We’re all about presenting a united front, and no matter the weather, there’s simply no excuse for running around with fuzzy hair and melted mascara raccoon eyes. In fact, we’re armed with an arsenal of rainy day beauty tips and tricks that will help to keep your look in check with hardly any extra effort at all.
Close your hair’s cuticle for less frizz.
Regardless of whether your hair is fine, thick, straight, curly, or some combination thereof, rainy weather can only mean one thing: Frizz, and lots of it. The key to avoiding fuzzy texture is to keep the hair’s cuticle sealed. To close the cuticle use paraffin free conditioner and paraben free serums when styling and rinsing hair with cold water at the end of your shower. Use argon oil which is excellent in removing dryness and frizziness in your hair.
Go light on the makeup.
Aside from the obvious—read: waterproof mascara and eyeliner— steering clear of heavy moisturisers and foundation when humidity is high. We’ve all experienced the irritating face-melting effect of heavier makeup and high humidity, so instead try getting some colour from a lightweight illuminating product, a silky powder palette that combines bronzer, highlighter, and blush for a total about-face.

Ward off humidity.
While an umbrella can help to lessen the likelihood of getting completely soaked, there’s definitely no hiding from humidity, so arm yourself with hair products that protect against steamy weather. After styling, lightly coat hair in an anti-humidity spray that also offers hold. If you’re especially prone to frizz, carrying a travel-size version of styling cream, or even a moisturising hand cream, can be an indispensable help for touch-ups throughout the day.

Blending makes it better.
Whether you’re heading out into a light drizzle or a torrential downpour, makeup precautions need to be taken. To keep your makeup intact in humid weather, always make sure to rub makeup into your skin so that it’s not just sitting on top. The suede texture of the curved non-latex sponge perfectly blends makeup for a flawless finish that really works makeup into the skin.

Keep volume intact.
A high-volume updo or ponytail just won’t last in the drizzle, unless you’re adding some seriously formidable product to go with it. Spritz a texturising spray to give hair weight and, well, texture, which will prevent it from falling flat, before back-combing at the crown. Hardy also suggests criss-crossing two bobby pins at the base of your tease to keep volume high.

The sun isn’t shining, so your face shouldn’t be.
Yet another humidity-induced problem we face during rainy weather is unwanted shine. Turn to skin care and makeup specifically designed to combat it, like lightweight mattifying moisturizers, both tinted and otherwise. A primer with a powdery matte finish, can also work wonders for repelling excess oil and shine throughout the day. We cannot emphasize enough how critical blotting papers are for keeping the greasies at bay. Pop them in your purse for a face fix-up any time.
