Winter makeup routine:

STEP 1- Always cleanse and moisturize your skin before applying any makeup. This not only ensures
a fresh base for makeup but also prevents the foundation from caking due to dryness. Allow the
moisturizer to sink in for about three to four minutes before moving on to the next step.

Highly recommend: Neutrogena oil -free moisturizer. This light-weight moisturizer penetrates deep
into your dry skin and nourishes to keep your skin looking soft and smooth. Also, the Neutrogena Oil
Free Moisture cream controls shine on oily areas it also contains SPF 15.

STEP 2-Even out your skin tone by using a dewy light to medium coverage foundation or BB Cream.
Go for a formula that feels dewy and moisturizing; avoid very dry, matte products if you have dry
skin. You can also mix in a little bit moisturizer with your regular foundation to sheer it out a little
and add some more moisture to skin.

Recommendation: Maybelline clear glow bright benefit stick is a specialized mineral clay formula
which gives 12-hour shine control.

STEP 3: Use a liquid, hydrating concealer in the under-eye area to brighten up your eyes. Opt for a
creamy formula to prevent it from caking and getting into lines. A concealer is a MUST if you want to
look fresh as under-eye bags are a sure-fire way of making you look older and tired.

Recommendation: Rimmel Stay Matte Dual Action Concealer. Gives 24 hr protection. It effectively
covers the blemish without clogging pores, whilst the inner core treats the blemish. And is humidity-
proof, sweat-proof and heat-proof,

STEP 4: Now using a light fluffy powder brush, apply a dusting of compact powder lightly in the
under-eye area to set the concealer (and prevent creasing). You can also dab the product on the T-
zone to avoid oiliness in these areas. Don’t powder the rest of the face because that can make your
complexion look powdery and dry.
Recommendations: L’Oréal Paris True Match Press Powder W5 Golden Sand is a fine, soft and
lightweight powder that blends perfectly with your complexion, for a flawless finish. Ultra-fine
formula.

STEP 5: Pink tones are the best way to brighten and lift your face. A dewy cream blush is the perfect
way to add a soft glow to your cheeks. Choose a colour based on your skin tone. Baby pinks work for
lighter complexions, rose tones for medium tones and deeper berry hues flatter darker complexions.
Dab the cream blush on your cheeks using your finger and blend it out to get a sheer hint of colour
on the cheeks

STEP 6: For the eyes, use a brown pencil along the lash lines and smudge with a cotton bud to get
instant definition with a soft, smoky effect. Browns tend to soften the eyes to keep your overall look
dewy. However, if you can’t do without your black liner or kohl, use that instead. Remember to keep
the look simple though. Harsh lines can make you look older. Finish up by curling lashes and applying
a coat of mascara.

Recommendations: NYX Slim Eye Pencil in Copper, Maybelline Volume Express Hyper Curl Mascara.

STEP 6- Colouring up your lips is the finishing touches to your makeup. Opt for creamy lipsticks and
glosses in winter to keep your lips hydrated and smooth. Avoid matte finish products as they can
further dry out lips.
