Why this worksWinter air can be dry, so your makeup needs to adapt to keep your skin hydrated and radiant. Using long-lasting products that withstand cooler temperatures ensures your look remains fresh throughout the day. Additionally, incorporating warm tones can complement the winter palette, enhancing your overall appearance.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Hydrate Your Skin Start with a moisturising primer to create a smooth base. This will help your makeup adhere better and prevent it from looking flaky or dry as the day goes on.
  2. Choose the Right Foundation Opt for a hydrating foundation with a dewy finish to combat winter dryness. Ensure it matches your skin tone, and use a damp sponge for an even application.
  3. Add Warmth with Blush Select a cream blush in warm hues like peach or berry. Cream formulas blend seamlessly into the skin and give a natural flush, perfect for the winter vibe.
  4. Seal with a Setting Spray Finish your look with a hydrating setting spray. This not only locks your makeup in place but also adds a refreshing boost of moisture throughout the event.

Where people go wrong

People often skip moisturiser, leading to a patchy finish. Using too matte products can exacerbate dryness, and forgetting to set your makeup can lead to touch-ups throughout the day. Always test new products to avoid irritation.

The pro moveMix a drop of facial oil into your foundation for extra hydration and a luminous finish.
