Best of Bulletproof makeup: 8 Water Proof Foundations Perfect for Monsoons
By Ankita
Let’s imagine a scenario. It’s a beautiful Sunday morning and it’s drizzling. You just got out of the shower and got dressed in your best clothes. God, a day of fun after that long dragging week. What could possibly go wrong? You walk up to your dresses and there it is that nasty little zit, you reach for your favourite foundation but wait a minute, should you? or… better not! What if you turn up as the matchmaker from ‘Mulan’ !!!
Scared for a makeup melt down?? Here are a few foundations to your rescue, tried and tested.
1. L’Oreal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Foundation
The biggest pro with this foundation that would beat any con is its shade range. It comes in a glass bottle with a pump dispenser. It gives a medium coverage, which can be buildable to a certain extent and provides a dewy finish to the skin, without making it look cakey
Shades: 12
SPF: 17
Price: 1025 INR (Buy HERE)
2. Deborah BB Cream 5 In 1 Foundation
If you are up for a ‘no makeup’ makeup look, this is your bae. It claims to be a 5-in- 1 product that acts as a primer, foundation, moisturizer, sunscreen, and concealer. I would say it is somewhere between a BB Cream and foundation. It gives a matte finish and decent coverage. Just perfect for an everyday glam look!
Shades: 4
SPF: 20
Price: 625 INR (Buy HERE)
3. Lakme Absolute Mattreal Skin Natural Mousse 16hr
This one has a whipped mousse consistency and is NOT so runny. It does provide medium to full coverage and is MATTE!! However, too much of it can look cakey. It has got a breathable texture and does not feel heavy on the skin. The staying power is quite long, say 6-8 hours.
Shades: 6
SPF: 8
Price: 750 INR (Available HERE)
4. NYX Professional Makeup Stay Matte But Not Flat Liquid Foundation
Usually, matte foundations tend to get a little chalky and flaky at the end of the day, not this one. The ‘NYX Professional Makeup Stay Matte But Not Flat Liquid Foundation’ gives a luminous finish to the skin and is full coverage. It has an oil free formula and comes in a tube packaging that fits perfectly in your handbag.
Shades: 8
SPF: Not Mentioned
Price: 900 INR (Buy HERE)
5. L.A Girl Pro Coverage Illuminating Liquid Foundation
If you are heading to crash a party, this one is best for you. It has got an illuminating property that gives the skin just the right amount of polished sheen.If you are wise enough with the shade selection, believe me, you have found your go-to party foundation. The finish falls more on the dewy side. It comes in a glass bottle with a pump dispenser.
Shades: 16
SPF: Not Mentioned
Price: 1150 INR (Buy HERE)
6. Maybelline New York Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation
Dont we all love this one!! The ‘Maybelline New York Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation’ is one heck of a foundation. It ACTUALLY mimics and smoothens the texture of skin to provide a seamless coverage. With this foundation, you can go from low to high coverage without ever looking cakey. It blurs out the pores to provide a flawless canvas. The consistency is quite runny and is oh so matte! A yay for oily skinned beauties.
Shades: 14
SPF: Not Mentioned
Price: 525 INR (Available HERE for 431)
7. Milani Conceal + Perfect 2-In- 1 Foundation + Concealer
Now, this is some heavy duty foundation. It claims to act as both a concealer and a foundation (let’s not fall for that one!)
It is water resistant and is FULL COVERAGE. The packaging is quite sturdy as it comes in a glass bottle with a pump dispenser. The consistency of the product is quite creamy and blends effortlessly into the skin. The most notable feature is, however, the staying power, which is quite long.
Shades: 7

Price: 1250 INR (Buy HERE)
8. PAC HD Liquid Foundation
Saving the BEST for the last, this one is a darling in terms of coverage and color. It blurs our imperfections and blends very easily into the skin. With a decent-full coverage, it makes the perfect companion for office and even party wear. It won’t look cakey unless you decide to go over board with this one. The consistency is not exactly runny, a little thicker than that I would say. This is one product I would highly recommend to all my buttercups!
Shades: 22 !!!
