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.

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!
