Winters mean your skin feels dehydrated. The result? Flaky, red skin that needs hydrating makeup—products that promise to cover yet lend your skin that much-needed boost of moisture. But if you’re a little extra when it comes to applying makeup, know that this is absolutely not the best time for it because your skin needs to breathe amidst all the cold winds and harsh conditions. So if you’re looking for a makeup look especially for this season, below are a few makeup tips to follow…
 

Prep

Prep

Remember that moisturising your skin is crucial to getting winter makeup right. Know that your skin is flaky, red and hence, needs that extra moisturisation for your makeup to sit well on your face. So do rely on a cold cream to act as your base. We suggest using the Pond's White Beauty Winter Anti-spot Moisturiser that works as a skin lightening treatment along with a cold cream to give you smooth and hydrated skin.

 

Foundation

Foundation

As far as foundation is concerned, we suggest using coverage that hydrates your skin along with concealing your problem areas. It’ll be best to opt for an oil based foundation like the Lakmé Absolute Argan Oil Serum Foundation that’ll glide on smoothly without feeling greasy on your skin. An added makeup tip for you would be to use just a wee bit because the last thing you want is for your face to feel heavy when it’s already feeling stretched and parched.

 

Eyes

Eyes

You might feel rather lazy to reach out for too much makeup but your face can look rather dull during this season. This means your eyes often look puffy and small because of the extreme cold. To make them look bigger, rely on tight lining. Use the Lakmé Absolute Kohl Ultimate Kajal to do the trick for you.

 

Blush

Blush

While a highlighter is a bit much for a natural makeup look, we suggest mixing some powder Blush with Vaseline Petroleum Jelly and applying it on the apple of your cheeks. The Vaseline will seal in the moisture and when mixed with colour, will lend you that flushed pink look without looking overdone. Use the Lakmé Absolute Face Stylist Blush Duos, Pink for this purpose.

 

Lips

Lips

For lipstick, use a paler shade that looks subtle on the lips. Go with a nude that suits your skin tone. If you ask us, the Lakmé Absolute Argan Oil Lip Color in Soft Nude is the perfect pale-toned lipstick for Indian skin tones.
