    Every season brings a slightly different makeup challenge. In the summer, you must be strategic with formulas that can hold up against sweat and high heat. But in the winter, hydration is key. From icy winds to dry indoor heat, locking in moisture with both our skincare and makeup routines is essential. To help keep your glam on point all winter long, we turned to the experts. Below, find 10 makeup artist-approved tips for winter to keep your makeup flawless no matter how cold it is outside.<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n

      It’s All About The Skin Prep <\/span><\/h2>\n

      Good makeup starts with great skin, and how you prep your skin during the winter is the key to your products looking flawless. Celebrity makeup artist Dahlia Warner emphasized the importance of this step. “In the winter, having hydrating creams on hand is key for keeping your skin moisturized,” she explains, noting that this also applies to the rest of your body, especially the knees, hands, and elbows. “Choosing a nourishing cream can help immensely when wanting hydrated skin day and night.” Your skincare routine doesn’t need to be excessive; it just needs to combat concerns such as dryness and dehydration, which tend to happen more frequently in the winter.\n<\/p>\n

      Layering a facial essence with a hydrating serum and cream can help lock in moisture, as can exfoliating weekly to keep dead skin from flaking underneath makeup. Want to go the extra mile? Investing in a good humidifier can also make a huge difference in your skin.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
      02<\/span>of 10<\/span><\/div>\n
      \n

      Don’t Neglect Your Lips <\/span><\/h2>\n

      Whether you’re opting to wear a lipstick, gloss, or matte formula, starting with a nourishing lip balm will prevent lips from chapping. Since the skin on the lips is thin and fragile, keeping the area hydrated will reduce excess irritation and stop lipstick from feathering or flaking. Always have a lip balm on hand when you’re out and about, and don’t skip applying it in the morning and evening after your skincare routine.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
      03<\/span>of 10<\/span><\/div>\n
      \n

      Pay Attention to Primer <\/span><\/h2>\n

      Known to extend the life and wear of your makeup, primer helps keep your products in place for hours on end. Read the ingredient list to see if your primer will wear well with other products during winter. The rule of thumb is to keep a mattifying primer on hand for summer, when skin can get more oily and sweaty, and switch to a dewy, hydrating primer for winter to keep skin looking radiant.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
      04<\/span>of 10<\/span><\/div>\n
      \n

      Opt For a Moisturizing Foundation <\/span><\/h2>\n

      “I tend to gravitate towards balmy and nourishing foundation formulas during the winter as they help to diffuse skin’s texture and provide flattering coverage when skin is most dry,” says Warner. Having one foundation for winter and one for summer is normal. For winter, the more emollient, the better. The ideal foundation for cooler weather has a thicker consistency, is usually oil-based, and a little goes a long way. Pair it with a hydrating concealer and be mindful to blend out the tint as you apply it to prevent creasing.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
      05<\/span>of 10<\/span><\/div>\n
      \n

      Skip The Powder <\/span><\/h2>\n

      While you might reach for powder to keep skin shine-free during the summer, it’s okay to skip this step altogether during the winter months. Since powder tends to be mattifying, it can exaggerate dry skin. Similarly, applying powder on top of a hydrating foundation can cut the formula’s dewy effect. To keep makeup in place and skin fresh, swap your powder out for a dewy setting spray to lock makeup in place and maintain a hold.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
      06<\/span>of 10<\/span><\/div>\n
      \n

      Choose Cream Blush, Bronzer, and Contour <\/span><\/h2>\n

      Instead of powder eyeshadows and blushes, choose creamier formulas that aid in helping skin look hydrated and last. Cream blushes, bronzers, and contour formulas work well with hydrating foundation formulas, so layering shouldn’t be a problem. When working with cream products, wait a few minutes between applying each so the layers fuse well without pilling.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
      07<\/span>of 10<\/span><\/div>\n
      \n

      Apply Waterproof Mascara and Eyeliner <\/span><\/h2>\n

      If you get caught in a snowstorm, one thing is for certain: your eye makeup will stay in place if you’re wearing waterproof formulas. For winter, choose waterproof eyeliner and mascara to prevent smudging and running, ensuring that your eye makeup looks pristine all day and night. When removing waterproof eye makeup, be sure to use a remover that will take it all off to avoid any residue being left behind.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
      08<\/span>of 10<\/span><\/div>\n
      \n

      Refresh, Refresh, Refresh <\/span><\/h2>\n

      It’s normal for skin to feel dry and itchy during winter. Use a refreshing and hydrating face spray to perk yourself up when the midday slump hits. Keep a facial spray in your bag and apply a generous mist to give your look a quick refresh while delivering nutrients to your skin. This will also rehydrate your makeup, and your skin will look beautifully dewy.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
      09<\/span>of 10<\/span><\/div>\n
      \n

      Less is More <\/span><\/h2>\n

      Now that you’re adequately prepped and utilizing cream formulas, remember that less is more when creating winter makeup looks. For skin to look dewy and radiant, add a liquid or cream highlighter on top of blush, keeping lips natural. Apply a subtle blush if you’re going for a bolder lip look. This way, your makeup look will be balanced.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
      10<\/span>of 10<\/span><\/div>\n
      \n

      Use The Right Tools <\/span><\/h2>\n

      Blending makeup with soft-haired brushes and damp sponges is the best way to preserve your skin barrier in the winter. Avoid any application techniques or blending tools that might scratch the skin or cause irritation. Remember to wash your makeup brushes and reusable sponges weekly to avoid collecting bacteria and further irritation.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                Blending makeup with soft-haired brushes and damp sponges is the best way to preserve your skin barrier in the winter. Avoid any application techniques or blending tools that might scratch the skin or cause irritation. Remember to wash your makeup brushes and reusable sponges weekly to avoid collecting bacteria and further irritation.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                    It’s All About The Skin Prep <\/span><\/h2>\n

                    Good makeup starts with great skin, and how you prep your skin during the winter is the key to your products looking flawless. Celebrity makeup artist Dahlia Warner emphasized the importance of this step. “In the winter, having hydrating creams on hand is key for keeping your skin moisturized,” she explains, noting that this also applies to the rest of your body, especially the knees, hands, and elbows. “Choosing a nourishing cream can help immensely when wanting hydrated skin day and night.” Your skincare routine doesn’t need to be excessive; it just needs to combat concerns such as dryness and dehydration, which tend to happen more frequently in the winter.\n<\/p>\n

                    Layering a facial essence with a hydrating serum and cream can help lock in moisture, as can exfoliating weekly to keep dead skin from flaking underneath makeup. Want to go the extra mile? Investing in a good humidifier can also make a huge difference in your skin.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                    Don’t Neglect Your Lips <\/span><\/h2>\n

                    Whether you’re opting to wear a lipstick, gloss, or matte formula, starting with a nourishing lip balm will prevent lips from chapping. Since the skin on the lips is thin and fragile, keeping the area hydrated will reduce excess irritation and stop lipstick from feathering or flaking. Always have a lip balm on hand when you’re out and about, and don’t skip applying it in the morning and evening after your skincare routine.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                    Pay Attention to Primer <\/span><\/h2>\n

                    Known to extend the life and wear of your makeup, primer helps keep your products in place for hours on end. Read the ingredient list to see if your primer will wear well with other products during winter. The rule of thumb is to keep a mattifying primer on hand for summer, when skin can get more oily and sweaty, and switch to a dewy, hydrating primer for winter to keep skin looking radiant.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                    Opt For a Moisturizing Foundation <\/span><\/h2>\n

                    “I tend to gravitate towards balmy and nourishing foundation formulas during the winter as they help to diffuse skin’s texture and provide flattering coverage when skin is most dry,” says Warner. Having one foundation for winter and one for summer is normal. For winter, the more emollient, the better. The ideal foundation for cooler weather has a thicker consistency, is usually oil-based, and a little goes a long way. Pair it with a hydrating concealer and be mindful to blend out the tint as you apply it to prevent creasing.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                    Skip The Powder <\/span><\/h2>\n

                    While you might reach for powder to keep skin shine-free during the summer, it’s okay to skip this step altogether during the winter months. Since powder tends to be mattifying, it can exaggerate dry skin. Similarly, applying powder on top of a hydrating foundation can cut the formula’s dewy effect. To keep makeup in place and skin fresh, swap your powder out for a dewy setting spray to lock makeup in place and maintain a hold.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                    Choose Cream Blush, Bronzer, and Contour <\/span><\/h2>\n

                    Instead of powder eyeshadows and blushes, choose creamier formulas that aid in helping skin look hydrated and last. Cream blushes, bronzers, and contour formulas work well with hydrating foundation formulas, so layering shouldn’t be a problem. When working with cream products, wait a few minutes between applying each so the layers fuse well without pilling.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                    Apply Waterproof Mascara and Eyeliner <\/span><\/h2>\n

                    If you get caught in a snowstorm, one thing is for certain: your eye makeup will stay in place if you’re wearing waterproof formulas. For winter, choose waterproof eyeliner and mascara to prevent smudging and running, ensuring that your eye makeup looks pristine all day and night. When removing waterproof eye makeup, be sure to use a remover that will take it all off to avoid any residue being left behind.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                    Refresh, Refresh, Refresh <\/span><\/h2>\n

                    It’s normal for skin to feel dry and itchy during winter. Use a refreshing and hydrating face spray to perk yourself up when the midday slump hits. Keep a facial spray in your bag and apply a generous mist to give your look a quick refresh while delivering nutrients to your skin. This will also rehydrate your makeup, and your skin will look beautifully dewy.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                    Less is More <\/span><\/h2>\n

                    Now that you’re adequately prepped and utilizing cream formulas, remember that less is more when creating winter makeup looks. For skin to look dewy and radiant, add a liquid or cream highlighter on top of blush, keeping lips natural. Apply a subtle blush if you’re going for a bolder lip look. This way, your makeup look will be balanced.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
