Rainy days bring unexpected humidity, causing makeup to melt, fade, or slide off faster than usual. That’s why skin prep before makeup is a non-negotiable first step for a rainy-day makeup routine. Properly prepping your skin helps create a smooth canvas, improves product adherence, and boosts the longevity of your entire look. Here’s how to make makeup last longer, even when the weather works against you.
Start with Clean, Exfoliated Skin
A fresh base is the key to long-lasting makeup tips. Begin your routine with a gentle exfoliator like the PAC Lemon Squash Exfoliator. Infused with natural lemon enzymes, it clarifies the skin, removes dead cells, and unclogs pores, giving you a smoother surface that helps makeup grip better. For removing your makeup, choose the PAC Total Clean Cleansing Balm. This lightweight yet powerful makeup remover cream features a unique semi-solid formula that melts into a soft cleanser upon application and easily removes waterproof makeup with minimal effort.
Lock in Lightweight Hydration
Moisture is important even in humid weather. Use a light, water-based hydrator such as the PAC Aqua Blast Water-Based Moisturizer, which instantly calms and hydrates without leaving a greasy residue. For those who prefer a richer yet weightless feel, the PAC Airy Hydrating Cream with its HyalOcta Complex deeply nourishes and keeps skin soft and radiant. Hydrated skin prevents your makeup from cracking or clumping, a must for makeup that stays all day.
Prime with Purpose
A good hydrating primer for humid weather or a primer for oily skin acts as a barrier between your skin and makeup. It minimizes oil buildup and provides a grip for your foundation, allowing your waterproof makeup routine to stay put.
Don’t Forget the Lips
For smooth, plump lips, prep with the PAC Lip Repair Mask, which hydrates and softens dry or chapped lips. This ensures your lip color applies evenly and lasts longer.
Seal the Deal with a Setting Spray
Finally, finish your look with a setting spray for rainy weather. This step is crucial to lock in your makeup, prevent smudging, and maintain a fresh finish all day.
With the right skincare before makeup and smart product choices, you can enjoy fresh, long-lasting makeup that stays flawless even through unexpected showers and humidity.
