It’s that time of the year when you’re never quite sure of whether it’s going to be a sunny day or if a downpour will catch you unawares. Even as the soaring humidity induces copious amounts of sweat, it is still possible to wear make-up without your products sliding off your face. “The trick is to use the right products and to keep your look relatively simple,” shares make-up artist Sneh Sharma. She recommends the following steps to lock in your look.

>> Minimal skincare: Using heavy or greasy formulas or too many products can make matters worse. Instead, use water-based or gel moisturisers under your make-up to minimise sweat, while keeping your skin adequately hydrated. Don’t skip the sunscreen; choose one that has a lighter consistency.
