As soon as Navratri arrives, the craze for Garba and Dandiya Raas surges. Girls, in particular, want their makeup to stay intact while they step out or dance for hours during these nine days. However, achieving this requires the right application techniques and attention to a few key details.

Let’s explore how to easily create waterproof and sweat-proof makeup for Navratri.

**Ice Application**
Applying ice can be beneficial for making makeup last longer. After washing your face, wrap an ice cube in a clean cotton cloth. Then, gently press and rub the ice over your face for 2–3 minutes.

Essentially, ice therapy before makeup temporarily tightens the pores. This prevents excess sebum secretion and stops the makeup from wearing off quickly.

**Always Use a Primer**
Applying a primer before makeup is essential because it acts as a barrier between your skin and the makeup. This prevents sweat and skin oils from directly interacting with the makeup, keeping it from smudging or running. Apply the primer 2–3 minutes after moisturizing your face.

**Choose the Right Foundation**
Along with selecting a foundation that matches your skin tone, ensure it is lightweight and waterproof. Apply it evenly using a beauty blender, and use compact or setting powder to lock it in place.

**Opt for a Lightweight Base**
If you tend to sweat more than usual, choosing a lightweight base is a better option. It prevents the skin from becoming oily or the makeup from looking cakey too quickly.

**Waterproof Eye Makeup**
To ensure your makeup stays put for a long time, always opt for waterproof products. Be it eyeliner, mascara, or kohl.

Matte and Waterproof Lipstick
Matte and waterproof lipstick gives the lips a smooth and shiny look. Additionally, it lasts longer than regular lipstick.

Makeup Fixer
Finally, do not forget to use a makeup fixing spray after applying your makeup. This spray locks the makeup in place and prevents it from wearing off quickly.
