Why this worksWinter makeup should not only look good but also withstand the chill and keep your skin looking fresh. Using the right techniques and products can help you achieve a long-lasting, chic look that enhances your features. The key is to layer strategically, so your makeup stays put while still allowing your skin to breathe.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Skin Start with a clean, moisturised face. Use a primer suited to your skin type to create a smooth base, which helps your makeup adhere better and last longer.
  2. Create a Flawless Base Apply foundation and concealer to even out your complexion. Opt for a formula that provides good coverage without feeling heavy, and set it with a translucent powder to avoid any shine.
  3. Add Festive Colour Choose a warm blush and highlighter to give your skin a healthy glow. Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks and highlighter on the high points of your face, like the cheekbones and brow bone, for a festive touch.
  4. Define Your Eyes Use a mix of warm eyeshadow shades to create depth and interest. Finish with eyeliner and a couple of coats of mascara to make your eyes pop. Consider adding some shimmer for that party sparkle.
  5. Lips to Impress Finish off with a bold lip colour that complements your overall look. A classic red or a deep berry shade can really elevate your festive vibe.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip primer, which is crucial for long-lasting makeup. Over-applying products can also lead to a cakey finish, so work in layers. Finally, ignoring the lip colour can make the whole look feel incomplete.

The pro moveFor extra staying power, try using a setting spray after your makeup application to lock in your look all night long.
