It's going to be cold for a while, but you can still look hot. Consider the ways you can brighten your face and distract yourself from the doldrums of a long winter.
You Will Need
Oil-based moisturizer
Foundation primer
Foundation
Eye shadow
Concealer
Lip gloss
Sunscreen (optional)
Steps
Step 1 Put on moisturizer
Use an oil-based moisturizer, rather than mineral-based, before applying your makeup. Minerals can dry skin and offer little protection against cold and low humidity. Look for moisturizer that provides essential vitamins that can rejuvenate the skin.
Put on sunscreen to further protect yourself if you are going to be out in the sun a lot. The sun can still burn when it reflects off snow.
Step 2 Build the foundation
Smooth on a foundation primer before your foundation, which will make it last longer without fading. Light foundation in winter works well with all skin types. Then apply a moisturizing foundation to further combat the effects of dry winter weather.
Step 3 Counteract winter effects
Counteract winter's effects on under-eye circles by working in concealer a shade or two lighter than your skin tone under each eye.
Lip gloss tends to stay on longer than plain lip balm.
Step 4 Go for neutral shades
In general, opt for neutral shades of winter makeup. Choose light browns, grays, and pinks, and matte eye shadows in gray and brown.
