Storm Proof Beauty – Five Ways To Show The Weather Who’s Boss!

When the weather is this bad, it's hard to look in any way groomed and polished.

Tangle-free tresses and non-dripping red noses seem like a distant memory and chances are, by the end of the day, your makeup will be half way down your face and your hair will resemble a Russell Brand inspired birds nest. 

And, if you are venturing out this weekend, you'll need to do a bit of prep with heavy-duty, hardworking products and arm yourself with a few handy beauty lifesavers that can fit in your bag.

Here we pick our top five must-haves... 

Tangle-Teezer:

Great for getting rid of knots without ripping your hair to shreds, we're firm converts and one Her.ie staffer claims she'll never use a 'normal' hairbrush ever again!

Tangle-Teezer, €13.50

L'Oreal Telescopic Waterproof Mascara:

Regardless of whether a mascara is waterproof or not, the most important thing about mascara is finding one that makes your lashes look so long and luscious, people will ask if they're fake. And not having said long and lucious lashes running down your face is a massive bonus. 

L'Oreal Telescopic Waterproof Mascara, €16.99

Benefit Porefessional:

Rain, wind and central heating mean rosy cheeks and patchy coverage, so something that will help your foundation last the day is a must. This easy to use primer will make your complexion more even, pores look smaller and will help your base last for hours, no matter what the weather is like.

Benefit Porefessional, €34

Bobbi Brown Longwear Gel Eyeliner:

Unless your going for an abstract goth look, black tears cascading down your cheeks are a bit of a beauty no-no. A long-lasting eyeliner like this one is a must, plus, it achieves the best flicks ever - bonus!  

Bobbi Brown Longwear Gel Eyeliner, €22

MAC Lipstick in Russian Red:

There's nothing like a slick of red lipstick to lift your spirits and focus attention away from the rest of your windswept look! This blueish red is gorgeous against pale skin and its matte texture stays put for hours.
