5 Warm Beauty Tips for Cold Weather

By

Baby, it’s cold outside! But a drop in temps doesn’t mean your makeup has to stay bundled up until spring. Whether your skin is craving all-day hydration or colors that won’t fade when the sun sets, here are five beauty tips to warm up your look all season long.

Prep and Prime 

It’s no secret that cold air can leave skin feeling dry and dehydrated. If your skin is sending serious SOS signals, respond with backup: an ultra-hydrating cream. Adding this step before applying cosmetics is essential for makeup that melts effortlessly onto the skin. Opt for a cream made with nourishing ingredients to help your skin maintain its glow all winter long.  

Brighten with Blush  

Want that soft, flushed effect minus the cold air? During winter weather, switching from powder blushes to cream formulas can give your complexion a radiant boost. Opt for natural colors like peachy pinks, sun-kissed siennas, and rosy reds. Apply a touch of blush onto the apples of your cheeks (and your nose) to create lit-from-within luminosity.

Frame Your Face

Create a cozy gaze with colorful eye palettes that pair beautifully with chunky scarves and hot chocolate. Draw from warm shades like copper, bronze, and browns to build a subtle smokey eye base. Next, add a frosty shimmer in the inner corner to light up your lids. Finish your look with a waterproof eye pencil to create a waterline and lightly smudge it along the lower lash line.  

Light Up Your Lips  

It wouldn’t be winter without a pout that pushes beauty boundaries. But red doesn’t have to be the only color in your winter wonderland. Shop long lasting lipstick in velvety smooth shades like mauve, merlot, and mahogany that deliver both color and comfort for all-day wear (no more settling into lines by lunchtime!).

Layer on Your Look  

Finally, finish off your canvas with a setting spray that fights icy winds and blasting heaters so you don’t have to! Reach for a spray that locks in hydration, provides a final boost of moisture, and maintains your makeup’s vibrancy from first application to the final look.
