In winter, the skin, which is drier and paler, shows more irregularities and redness and a duller complexion. Discover all our advice for make-up adapted to the cold and the colors of winter.

Which foundation to choose?

Winter puts our skin to the test. The skin dries out, feels tight and the complexion becomes more uneven: redness, imperfection. We therefore recommend a wet n wild photo focus dewy foundation that combines coverage and comfort. The liquid and creamy formulas are perfect for giving comfort and suppleness to your skin, thanks in particular to active ingredients such as glycerin.

Should we change the color of foundation in winter?

The most important thing is to adapt the foundation to the color of your skin, taking into account its seasonal changes. If your winter skin is lighter, opt for a winter foundation – lighter than the foundation you use in the spring and summer, when your skin is more tanned. In contrast with the white light of winter, favor soft colors for the complexion with pinkish beiges with warm tones and it is better to avoid colors with apricot or orange tones.

The concealer must also be adapted to your seasonal complexion: we recommend a ½ shade lighter than the foundation to guarantee a fresh and luminous look.

Tip: be sure to apply your complexion makeup also on the neck to blend face and neck and ensure an even complexion.

What winter makeup for blondes, for brunettes?

Because hair color often suggests a lighter complexion for blondes and darker for brunettes, we favor:

For blondes: soft colors like apricot or pink for the cheeks but also the eyes. For more contrast, a little brown can be added to the outer corners of the eyelids.

For brunettes: more distinct colors with a beautiful lipstick that will immediately illuminate the face, or a look magnified by purple, gray, midnight blue, gold.

How to have a beautiful complexion in winter?

Before starting the make-up of the complexion, do not forget the first 2 beauty gestures essential to beautiful skin: cleansing and hydration. Because the skin is more fragile in winter, favor a cleansing of the skin without rinsing with micellar water for example. As for hydration, do not hesitate to combine your usual cream with a serum full of active ingredients that will correct and prepare your skin to receive its treatment. LOreal Paris Revitalift Hyaluronic Acid Serum 30ml, for example, is ideal to smooth and plump it, in addition to your usual day cream.

Start by applying your concealer or corrector to illuminate your eyes and camouflage your small imperfections. For your foundation, prefer application with a brush because the brush helps to smooth the skin and ensure a flawless finish without overloading. Finishing powders are ideal for finishing to even out the complexion – either just on the T-zone for dry skin or all over the face for oilier skin. Finalize the make-up with a rosy blush on the cheekbones for a luminous complexion ready for winter. Reana.pk!
