Winter Makeup Tips: Choosing Cosmetics and What to Watch Out For
As the weather cools and the wind dries up, various skin problems follow, including peeling skin, foundation that won't adhere, patchy powder, or makeup fading throughout the day. Therefore, "choosing cosmetics suitable for the winter season" is a crucial secret many people overlook.
This article will guide you on the best ways to apply makeup during winter for long-lasting, dewy, and flawless results, along with recommended cosmetics and things to be cautious of!
Why is Makeup Difficult to Keep On in Winter?
During the winter, the skin loses moisture faster than usual, leading to problems such as:
- Dry, flaky skin
- Uneven foundation adherence
- Cracked, patchy makeup
- Difficulty getting blush to stick
- Skin looking dull due to dryness
The fundamental solution, therefore, is to "add moisture to the skin before applying makeup every time."
1. Skin Preparation: The Most Important Step in Winter Makeup
Choose Cream-Based Skincare over Gel-Based Gel-based skincare evaporates too quickly in the cold air. You should switch to:
- Hydrating creams
- Moisturizing creams to lock in moisture
- Concentrated Hyaluronic Acid serums
Don't Forget a "Nourishing Primer" Primer for winter should have properties that:
- Replenish moisture
- Help foundation adhere to the skin
- Smooth the skin before application
2. What Kind of Foundation to Choose for Winter?
Focus on Hydrating / Dewy Foundation Formulas Foundation that contains nourishing ingredients such as:
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Squalane
- Vitamin E
will help prevent the skin from cracking.
If your skin is very dry, spray setting spray or facial mist onto a damp sponge This helps the foundation blend smoothly, prevents patchiness, and adds extra hydration.
3. Blush and Highlighter
Choose Cream / Liquid Blush and Highlighter They adhere better to dry skin than powder formulas, giving the skin a "healthy, dewy glow" that looks like natural clear skin.
4. Lipstick: The Easiest Part to Ruin in Winter
Keep your lips moisturized before applying lipstick and focus on moisturizing formulas This trick helps cream lipstick glide on smoothly and prevents settling into lines. Prioritize using Lip Balms / Tinted Lip Balms during this season.
5. Powder and Makeup Setting Precautions
Use the Thinnest Layer of Translucent Powder Avoid applying too much powder, as dry air combined with powder will instantly make the foundation look flaky.
Use a Hydrating Setting Spray It helps lock the makeup in place and makes the finish look more blended into the skin.
