Winter-Approved Beauty Routine

 

As temperatures continue to drop and the transition from fall to winter makes way, it’s time to revamp your toiletry cabinet with new products that earn the cold weather stamp of approval. If you’ve had an eye on top beauty publications or your favorites on Instagram, it’s no secret that spring and summer are the perfect time to let your complexion take center stage with the infamous, ‘no makeup’ makeup look. However, the change in season signifies a new opportunity to switch up your look with new and exciting products. Fall and winter encourage the inner artist with bold pigments, moisture-enriched products and classic looks that are suitable for the holiday season and beyond. Don’t just complete your looks—level up with products that help you battle cold weather effortlessly with hydrating properties.

Moisturizer
Moisturizer is the finishing touch on any morning or night skincare regimen and colder temperatures call for added hydration, regardless of your skin type. The Get A Lift Age-Defying Moisturizer is perfect for targeting fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin, but use the colder months to combat dryness and flakiness with 4-in-1 Cloud Cream. This dreamy Gel-to-Water Hydrating Essence Moisturizer instantly moisturizes, preps and primes skin for a healthy-looking glow. Formulated with soothing green algae extract, this moisturizer helps protect skin from damage caused by visible blue light.

Primer
Primer is the first step in prepping the skin for flawless makeup application and it’s the perfect way to add extra moisture and hydration in your regimen. While you may opt for a more oil-control primer in the summer like the Make It Matte Oil Mattifying Primer, the No Filter Blurring Photography Primer is perfect for winter. Formulated with age-defying skincare ingredients, nourishing Energy Complex, essential oils and essential fatty acids, this primer gives skin a dewy, yet shine-free, finish with—or without—makeup.

Foundation
A great foundation sets the tone for any makeup look by concealing the look of imperfections and creating an even-looking canvas for the rest of your complexion products. If you’ve been a fan of the best-selling 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup Foundation, try the 4-in-1 Love Your Selfie Longwear Foundation and Concealer for the winter months. Featured in 100 universally flattering shades, this dual-action complexion miracle enhances your natural beauty with buildable, medium-to-full coverage that seamlessly blends onto the skin for an airbrushed-looking glow. 

Blush
Whether you’re in the heart of summer or the depths of winter, blush is a great way to add color and a fresh, youthful-looking glow to the skin. The Out of the Blue Vanity Blush Palette features highly pigmented blushes and an illuminating highlighter, making it perfect for warmer temps. This winter opt for the 4-in-1 Blush Book for the perfect array of cool and warm pigments that provide long-wear, fade-proof color that compliment all skin tones.

Elixirs
Glow drops are the perfect way to ramp up the radiance in your complexion and these elixirs are no exception. Precious Metals Shimmering Dry Oil Elixir is the perfect cocktail product during the warmer months on both makeup and no makeup days. Simply add to your favorite primer, moisturizer or tinted moisturizer for added radiance with the use of metallic gold and rose gold flakes. However, to achieve full-body glow on the face, neck and décolletage for holiday looks, try the new Crystal Clear Iconic Glow. Created with a nourishing blend of jojoba oil and macadamia oil, this antioxidant-rich dry oil instantly helps moisturize and replenish dry skin for a healthy-looking body glow you’ll love.

Brows
Never underestimate the power of a great brow and as we approach the ultra-glam holiday season, switch up your go-to brow product for an elevated look. While the Arch Nemesis 4-in-1 Dual-Ended Brow Pencil is perfect for both natural or bold brows, winter is the perfect time to experiment with texture! Since the fear of melting off your makeup in the summer heat is long gone, try the Sculpt A Brow Cream-to-Powder Brow Enhancer that gives the appearance of fuller brows by filling in sparse areas with rich pigment. Complete with an angled brush, this brow tool helps mimic the look of brow for a statement brow that wows!

Bronzer
Though your natural, sun-kissed tan may have faded, PÜR’s Cameo Contour & Highlight Stick is the perfect tool to sculpt, define and warm up your complexion during the winter months. Mineral-based bronzers, like Mineral Glow are perfect for natural-looking bronzing, but this dual-ended stick is formulated with natural, light-reflective microspheres to emphasize your natural highlights in an easily blendable, creamy formula that’s perfect for colder temperatures.

Mist
Setting your makeup with a mist is a great way to help revitalize the look of tired, dull skin. If you love Lit Mist for instant hydration and effortless glow, try Miracle Mist Hydrating Spray that is formulated to deeply moisturize skin with more than 70 essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids. The super-hydrating, skin-quenching spray helps set makeup for long-lasting perfection that’s suitable for all skin types
