The monsoon is officially here—and while we love the smell of wet soil, the pleasant weather, and the excuse to curl up in bed with a good book while it’s raining, there are a few things we'd rather do without. Like having to dodge puddles, keeping our shoes from completely soaking wet, and watching a good hair day tragically fall apart, thanks to humidity. But worst of all? Makeup that refuses to stay on. One thing that’s a total saviour during these trying times is a good waterproof lipstick. If you, too, just can’t get your lipstick to stay put during the monsoons, we’ve got you covered. Here are our top picks for the best waterproof lipsticks that just won’t budge.
