Rain + makeup = ???

Basically title, I've been commuting by bike more this year, but now it's getting to the rainy season and the one thing I can't figure out is how not to let my makeup get wrecked in the rain 😭 any tips??

I do my make up when I get to work.

This is the way. At most, I'll throw foundation/a BB cream on at home, but anything that could run gets put on in the bathroom at work.

I have a helmet that has a visor, this keeps my face dry and the wet off. So I think that would work!  It also has lights which are awesome

Definitely do it after you arrive! :)

I have reached the point in my life where I just don’t bother with makeup. I would rather enjoy my ride.

hat with a peak, clear glasses to protect the eyes, and taking the bb cream with me to reapply.

I have a helmet with a little bit of a visor but because I live in Florida I always wear a ball cap under it and that visor helps if the rain is light. But if it's really heavy I'm going to put a poncho on that also has a great visor.

you could do your eyes + wear cycling glasses or sunglasses and then do the rest at work maybe?

Leave a bit earlier and apply it when you get to work.

I’m very basic. Waterproof mascara is what I use when I’m gonna be out riding my bike. I don’t bother with anything else.
