Makeup Video Tutorial : Tips for a Winter Look
Winter challenges
our skin more than any other season. The biggest problem is that our skin will
tend to be more dry in our hands, body and especially the face. I’m going
to show you how to give your skin some extra attention that it deserves, even if you don't your dry skin will be a constant reminder!
- The
indoor heat along with the cold outdoor temperature makes your skin drier,
no matter what your skin type is.
- Learning proper products and techniques to ensure that you give your face the proper attention to avoid or at least minimize the problem.
Cleansers to suggest if you have
Dry
skin: Use
a facial serum or oil under a thicker-formula moisturizer.
Oily Skin: Use an oil-free serum and oil-free moisturizer.
Combination skin: Use oil-free products on the T‑zone and a thicker moisturizer
on the cheeks, which get drier in the wintertime. (including almond, jojoba, or
avocado oil) that don’t clog the pores.
If you have dry skin, you
must avoid water as much as you can; take short showers, and wash your face
with cleansing milk. Everyone should drink more water (or hot green tea) in
the wintertime. Many times dry skin gets
flakes on the eyelids and cheeks and around the lip area. The best way to get
rid of them is to exfoliate the skin right after showering, when the skin is
still soft. Always remember to apply moisturizer! This incudes your face and body.
* Tip* You can use the same method on superdry lips:
exfoliate your lips and the skin around them with an exfoliating cream or lip
scrub (many cosmetic manufacturers make lip spa products with scrubs and
various kind of balms and sealing creams).
Use a humidifier to add
moisture to your indoor space if you have to use drying central heating. Put
one in your bedroom, and you will notice the difference in your skin in the
morning, especially when using face serum and night cream. Your skin will be
softer and moister.
Face / Base
Slightly richer
foundations are better because there is more to cover on your skin in the
winter (uneven areas on the nose, cheeks, and eyelids).
winter (uneven areas on the nose, cheeks, and eyelids).
· You must use
SPF/UVA/UVB protection all year round. The sun that reflects from the snow is
as strong as the sun that reflects from water. So choose a day cream with at
least SPF 15, or a foundation with SPF.
· Powder is needed
all over the face for oily skin. Those with combination and dry skin should use
powder on the T‑area only to set the base. If your skin is dry and flaky, don’t
use any base product, just a face oil and your protecting SPF 15 face cream
Colour Choice
Colour Choice
Apply warmer pastel tones, if you have fair skin its better to go a little bit deeper, for example, if you like baby pink lips and you have fair skin, go for a deeper pink lip. Fair skin and pastel colours will make you look wash out. Pastel colours look better on medium to tan skin
Eyes
· Cream eyeshadows are good for the winter season
Depending where
you live, but if you’re in climates that snow and rain a lot during the winter
time, use water-proof/water resistant eye liners and mascara to avoid any
makeup disasters. If you wear regular mascara, going in and out of different
temperatures will make your mascara run.
· Waterproof cream
liners are great because its more moisturizing and will stay in place.
· Trick : use your waterproof
mascara as a liner if you can't find your liner
Cheeks / Blush
· Blush is a key item to the
winter makeup look. It really gives some color to your skin and wakes up your
whole face.
· I like using creams or makeup stains because
it gives my skin colour but it’s also moisturizing, The color of your blush is
completely your own choice, again, if you have a cool-tone look, use pink. Warm
tone, it can be peach, warm sand, or terracotta. The only colour I would leave
out are bronzes ( orangy ). They really don’t look great in winter unless its
for shading/contour.
· Lips
· Cracked lips are the number
one problem in winter. If your lips are superdry, skip lipsticks with matte
finishes or lip stains, which can be very drying for the lips. Even before lip
application, always remember to moisturize your lips with lip balm.
· Make sure the balm has SPF and UVA/UVB
protection.
· Exfoliate your lips
regularly throughout the cold months. That way you will get rid of the dry
flakes on the surface of your lips. You can use your face exfoliator and gently
in a circular motion remove and dead skin on your lips.
