SINGIN' IN THE RAIN

Don’t let rainy days get you down! We’ve got an arsenal of tips and tricks for maintaining your beauty routine despite the downpours…

Unwanted Shine

Mattifying skincare

SAY NO TO OILY SKIN!

Excess oil and shine is a common humidity-induced concern. To combat it, adapt your beauty routine. Regularly exfoliate your face, or apply a rebalacing mask, like Pivoine Pure Flash Moisture Mask. In the morning, apply a mattifying moisturiser before your make-up; try our Pivoine Pure Mattifying Fluid.

Go Light on the Make-up

LESS IS MORE

When the overall air moisture is high, opt for an easy, light, and natural look; avoid heavy moisturiser and foundation. Instead, apply a tinted moisturiser like a correcting BB cream with a matte finish (we love Immortelle Precious BB Cream). In addition to brightening dull complexions and targeting first signs of ageing, it's a good alternative to powder foundation that tends to streak with humidity. Similarly, opt for cream shadows and blushes instead of powder.

Facial Mists

SET YOUR MAKE-UP

If you really can't go a day without mascara, go for a waterproof version. To finish up, spray a water-based mist on your face to fix make-up for the day and boost its glow. Choose it according to your skin concern: perfecting Pivoine Mist, or plumping Immortelle Precious Mist...

Pack Accordingly

BRING THE ESSENTIALS WITH YOU

To look flawless once you've made it through the rain, keep a few essentials on hand for touchups during the day. Your compact, shadow and lipstick won't overload your purse but will be very useful when you need to be meeting-ready!
