Why this worksAs the seasons change, our makeup routine can benefit from a few adjustments. October often brings cooler weather, which can affect how products perform on your skin. By using lightweight products and incorporating hydrating elements, you can achieve a fresh and dewy look that lasts throughout the day.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Start with Hydration Begin your routine with a hydrating primer or moisturiser. This preps your skin and creates a smooth base for your makeup, ensuring it applies evenly and lasts longer.
  2. Use Tinted Moisturiser Swap your heavy foundation for a tinted moisturiser. This provides a light coverage while keeping your skin looking natural and fresh, perfect for an October morning.
  3. Brighten the Eyes Apply a brightening concealer under your eyes and on any blemishes. This instantly wakes up your face and gives you a more refreshed appearance without looking overdone.
  4. Add a Pop of Colour Choose a cream blush in a warm, autumnal shade. Cream formulas blend seamlessly into the skin, giving a natural flush that complements the October vibe.
  5. Finish with a Setting Spray Lock in your look with a hydrating setting spray. This not only helps your makeup stay put but also adds a dewy finish that’s ideal for the season.

Where people go wrong

Many skip hydration, thinking makeup alone suffices, leading to a patchy finish. Others might use too much product, which can look cakey, especially in cooler weather. Not blending well can leave harsh lines, and forgetting to set can make everything slide off.

The pro moveTry using a tinted lip balm for a quick colour boost and hydration on your lips.
