The drama of Garba nights is an affair to remember. It is an exuberant celebration marked by dance, music, and vibrant colours. Yet, amidst the dizzying spins and rhythmic beats, one challenge remains – ensuring that your makeup remains impeccable despite the sweat and exertion. This guide delves into the essentials for achieving sweat-proof makeup, ensuring you look put-together throughout the Garba celebration.
Prep it up
Prepping your skin before applying makeup is a must. The initial step to setting a solid foundation for the rest of your makeup is the use of a good-quality primer. Not only does it provide a smooth canvas for makeup application, but it also ensures that the makeup clings onto your skin throughout the night and doesn’t budge. Opt for a mattifying primer if you have oily skin, and a hydrating one for dry skin.

Ace the base
Since you plan to dance the night away, it is best to opt for lightweight and sweat-proof base products. Long-wear foundations are designed to resist sweat, oil, and smudging. A top tip: Always blend well and set it with a loose translucent powder to lock it in place.

All eyes on you
Waterproof eyeliners and mascaras are game-changers. They stay put, resisting sweat and moisture. Consider cream eyeshadows over powder, as they often have better staying power.

Choose matte
Prep your lips well by exfoliating them and applying a hydrating lip balm. Follow it up with a matte, waterproof lipstick. It is best to use liquid lipsticks since they are much more long-lasting and transfer-proof.

Set in stone
Once you are done with your makeup look, don’t forget to spritz some setting spray on it to keep it looking fresh and intact for the rest of the night.
No matter how sweat-proof your makeup is, a little shine may still peek through as the night progresses. Instead of piling on more powder, carry blotting papers. A quick dab will absorb excess oil, leaving your skin looking fresh without disturbing your makeup.
