7 Must-Know Winter Makeup Tips

7 Must-Know Winter Makeup Tips

While we may up-date our make up with the new season colours, it's also good to have a rethink on the textures. Here are 7 tips to winter proof your makeup.

Defeat dull, dehydrated skin
In the dead of winter, dry patches can build up on the surface of the skin, leaving you less-than-radiant no matter how much makeup you apply. Once a week, use a gentle exfoliant and then follow that up with a layer of moisturizer while your skin is still damp. And be sure to hydrate from within by drinking lots of water.

Cleanse carefully
If your face feels taut and parched when the weather turns cold, switch up your cleansing routine. Instead of using a foaming, gel-based cleanser, use milky or creamy cleansers since they have fewer skin-stripping detergents. Massage into dry skin, then remove gently with a facial tissue or cotton pads. If that doesn't help, consider using a humidifier to combat dryness in the air.

Moisturize while you beautify

A heavy layer of foundation can smudge in the snow and accentuate dry patches. Lighten it up by mixing equal parts moisturizer and foundation before applying, or use a tinted moisturizer instead.
