Makeup Tips for Dry Skin
in the Winter

Winter can be harsh on our skin, especially for those with dry skin. To combat this, it’s important to adjust your makeup routine to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. Start by exfoliating your skin once or twice a week to remove any dry, flaky patches. When applying foundation, opt for a moisturizing formula and use a damp beauty sponge to blend it in. Avoid using powder products, as they can further dry out your skin. Instead, opt for liquid blushes and highlighters to add a natural glow. Don’t forget to moisturize your lips with a hydrating lip balm before applying any lip products. Lastly, set your makeup with a hydrating setting spray to lock in moisture and keep your skin looking fresh throughout the day. Remember to also drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within.

Now, let’s dive into our top makeup recommendations for your winter makeup routine!
