MAJORBRANDS MONSOON FASHION SURVIVAL GUIDE

You can hate it, you can complain about it, you can romanticize it. You can even pretend to love it, but you can’t ignore the huge, wet challenge that is the Indian Monsoon.

Muddy puddles, torrential downpours, gloomy weather, earthworms and other icky things are a fashionable girl’s nightmare! It’s a three month battle against frizzy hair, runny make-up and mud splatters on our colored jeggings.Looking glamorous is the last thing on our minds.

Of course, while some of us can hide out in the South of France till the weather decides to behave; the rest of us needn't look like wet rats for a quarter of the year. With Majorbrands, you can survive the season looking like a glamazon. Just follow these simple rules to look like the goddess you are, throughout the year:

#1 WATERPROOF IS IDIOT PROOF

Okay, that’s a no-brainer. Waterproof mascara doesn't just have to be reserved for Ryan Gosling movies. Use rain-proof, high coverage war paint to not look like a panda. The rain won’t faze you when you know it can't ruin your face. This Inglot Volume & Waterproof Mascara will ensure that your eyes look pretty for the Great Monsoon Romance you've been fantasizing about.

#2 GEL WITH IT

As you may have already discovered, powered make up is basically useless in the rain. The powder clumps, it makes you look patchy and the color just isn’t intense enough. The weather is dull enough and you obviously want to brighten it with some intense blue eyelids or a pretty pink flush. You can use Inglot’s extensive range of Gel Make Up to keep your color.

You could also use Inglot’s special transforming liquid, Duraline, to make any make up into gel. Beauty bloggers swear by this revolutionary invention and you should too. A drop of this stuff can turn any powder to liquid. It dries super fast and makes everything last longer. A drop of this is your pot of dried liner can give it a new life.

#3 FEET FIRST

One of the biggest problems in the monsoon has got to be footwear (second only to hair)! You can’t wear your everyday leather loafers because the rain will ruin them, you can wear Flip-Flops because of their lack of grip and you definitely do not want to wear those cheap ‘Rain Shoes’ you wore in school. Gumboots are a chic option unless it floods higher than their length. Nine West has a whole range of chic yet functional shoes that are perfect for the weather.

#4 BAG HACKS

Leather’s biggest enemy is humidity and we don’t have any less of that. It’s best to stash all your exotic skins in a warm, dry place and look for alternative materials for this season. Silicon, PVC and Patent Leather comes in a plethora of shades from the basics to neon and even glitter and protects all your precious things.

 Choose these festive Charles & Keith bags to use in any weather.

#5 HAIR HARROWS

Humidity is a every girl’s worst nightmare. Curly hair becomes bigger, straight hair becomes flatter and no style stays for more than 5 mins. The best option is to keep your hair’s moisture content higher than the air’s. Deep conditioning and protien treatments are a blessing. Also, its smarter to put your hair up in a chic hairstyle than leaving it down to be assaulted by the weather. From boho braids to chic updos, there are a lot of trendy options.
