The city isn't done with the showers, and several women are abandoning their make-up regime before stepping out of home, opting to do a rushed job when they reach work for fear of the look getting ruined in the rain. But picking the right products go a long way in ensuring that your face isn't washed out in the downpour. Designer Masaba Gupta, who completed a decade in the industry last week, launched her line of lipsticks and nail paints in both, bright and earthy tones.

"Choose make-up that personifies you," she suggests, sharing that when she first started wearing make-up, she chose colours lighter than her skin. But with more options available now, she is able to express herself with a whole range of bold shades that go with her personality. "Beauty is not an idea that can be boxed. There is no right kind of beauty, and I have tried to represent the many faces of beauty, and find shades to match multiple skin tones that you see on Indian women." The Guide got Gupta to share tips on selecting and wearing make-up in the monsoon.
