Make-up tips to withstand the rain

Tuesday, 1 May 2012 6:37 AM

Now it seems the April showers are going to last well into May, it's time to take action against streaky make-up. Luckily, the beauty secret to staying flawless this season, whatever the weather, has been discovered: Silicone, the must-have ingredient for rain-proofing your makeup. The main component in Airbase foundations, blushers and bronzer, it is durable, water and heat resistant to help you look perfectly flawless, not flustered, all day long.

Designed by Oscar nominated make-up artist Anni Buchanan, to withstand perspiration, and created by St Tropez’s Judy Naake, the ultimate beauty guru, Airbase offers a flawless, natural looking make-up base with advanced staying power foundations, blushers and bronzer.

In seven blendable shades, Airbase foundations conceal vitiligo, reduce shine and encourage skin repair from wet weather thanks to replenishing Vitamins A and E. It also leaves a silky smooth, long lasting even finish that stays put - not sinking into pores as traditional water-based makeup does, which means the skin can breathe.

Celebrity make-up artist Karin Alder says that Airbase “stands up to the elements, harnessing silicone’s heat and slip-proof properties for longer-lasting staying power”. Apply Airbase foundations with a foundation brush or fingers, or use the Airbase airbrush compressor for even more durable, light-as-air application that doesn’t feel heavy on the skin.
