The humidity on rainy days often makes hair look frizzy and make-up run. Shorter hair on the top of the head sticks up unattractively. Here are tips on how to keep your hair and make-up looking beautiful in rainy weather.

Before you do your hair or make up your face, you should know roughly what kind of weather is expected. Different styles last for different lengths of time depending on the weather. This way you can ensure the durability of a beautiful hairstyle and make-up without too much effort.

In humid weather conditions, less is more. If the hair is styled more simply, it can be retouched more easily. A classic plait with a chic scarf looks timeless and undramatic. It's also better to hold back a little on the make-up.

Rubbing the roots and ends of the hair with a little hair wax helps to prevent the small hairs from sticking out frizzily.

A good face primer makes make-up last longer. Spray on a face primer spray before applying the priming cream (foundation). Finally, apply a good powder.

It is important not to use foundation that is too heavy, as it can run in the rain. However, a waterproof foundation is also not necessarily advisable if the raindrops roll off it like on a freshly waxed car. A lighter choice for foundation is BB Cream or CC Cream or a tinted skin cream.

Powder blusher tends to become streaky in damp weather. It is better to use cream or gel blusher, preferably a type that does not sit on the skin but is absorbed into it.

Eye make-up should be waterproof, especially mascara and eyeliner, if you don't want to look like a raccoon.

A long-lasting lipstick is also a must in humid weather. The lipstick must not smudge and should last for several hours.

When it's raining, you should always have the essential make-up tools in your handbag so that you can touch up your face in between. This includes concealer, powder, lipstick, some cotton pads, a hairbrush and hairspray.

If you want to have a beautiful hairstyle and make-up even in the rain, don't forget your umbrella. Even if it doesn't look like it's going to rain, it is, so take an umbrella with you.
