It is officially time for Garba and Dandiya nights with non-stop dance. This also comes along with sweat, tiredness, and makeup smudging. If you want your makeup to stay flawless from the first beat to the last, you need to go sweat-proof. Here are seven sweat-proof makeup tricks every woman needs before a long Garba night.
Sweat-Proof Makeup Tricks For Garba Nights:
From waterproof makeup products to setting powder trick, check makeup tricks you can follow for Garba nights.
1. Ice and Primer
Before applying makeup, rub an ice cube wrapped in cloth for 30 seconds. It helps in closing pores and controls sweating, giving a vibrant skin. Follow with a mattifying and silicone based primer, which creates a barrier between sweat and makeup.
2. Switch To Waterproof Makeup
For Navratri and Garba nights, replace your regular products with waterproof foundation, waterproof kajal and smudge-proof mascara. Look for labels like long-wear and transfer-proof while purchasing the products.
3. Skip Heavy Foundation
The combination of heavy foundation and sweat will give you a cakey face, and that's something you would want to avoid during Garba. Use a light BB cream or mix one drop of foundation with moisturiser. Use concealer only where needed. The light base will stay longer, and you will not need to worry about touch ups.
4. Setting Powder Sandwich Trick
This is a viral trick that locks your makeup. First, use primer, then setting spray, light foundation, loose powder, and finish it off with setting spray. This sandwich trick locks your makeup and makes it sweat-proof for more hours.
5. Cream Blush and Highlighter
Use cream tints instead of powder blush, which fades with sweat. Dab the cream blush or highlighter on cheeks, nose, and a little on lips for a natural and dewy glow that will last a long time.
6. Don't Forget To Set Your Eyes
Apply eye primer or concealer on eyelids before eyeshadow and set it with translucent powder. This prevents eyeshadow creasing and kajal bleeding. Always finish with a waterproof setting spray.
7. Carry The Emergency Potli
In your small potli, keep a mini compact, blotting paper, waterproof lip and cheek tint, and a mini setting spray. One dab after every hour and you are fresh again.
A long Garba night is all about enjoying without worry. With these sweat-proof tricks, you will not need to check the mirror every 10 minutes.
