Your makeup routines can be hampered as the cold weather can be harsh on your skin. This often leads to dryness along with affecting your complexion. But by using the right makeup products, techniques and tools, you will not only be able to combat dryness but also maintain a radiant look throughout the cold season. In this blog, we shall give you some expert makeup tips to achieve a natural glow, keep your skin hydrated and flaunt beautiful makeup even in the coldest of days.
Prep your skin
Prepping your skin adequately before applying makeup is crucial. The chilly winter season calls for extra hydration to your skin due to the dry air. You can begin by using a gentle cleanser to remove impurities from the skin, but without stripping the natural oils from your skin. Follow up with a rich moisturizer, hydrating serum or facial oil for the required skin hydration.
Prime for perfection
Before applying your makeup, you must also opt to apply a hydrating primer. This step helps create a smooth base for your makeup and also helps your makeup to last longer than it usually does without a primer. Additionally, this base also ensures that you get to apply your different makeup evenly. You can enhance the result by using primers to lock moisture with ingredients such as glycerin or hyaluronic acid.
Choose the right makeup tools
The third step is definitely one of the most crucial - Using the right makeup tools. This is important because only the right makeup brushes will give you the results that you look for. From bold and soft makeup looks to anything that is trending or you wish to create, every makeup brush will work to add the magic. At Vega, you can find an exceptional range of makeup brushes that are made with the finest quality bristles and materials. You can buy them individually to suit your makeup needs or invest in a complete makeup set to meet every makeup need.
Pick the right foundation
There are dozens of foundation types that you can find today. From matt to cream and liquid, the options are plenty to suit the many makeup demands of people as per their hair types. During winter, as the skin tends to dry quickly and easily, it gets wise to swap out matte foundations. Instead, go for hydrating or luminous ones that will provide coverage along with offering an extra dose of moisture to combat dryness. Additionally, ensure you apply your hydrating foundation sparingly by using a Vega Foundation Brush to build coverage and give a natural finish to your final look.
Conceal with care
Do not forget to use concealers as they work incredibly well to hide dark circles and blemishes if any. Similar to foundation, go for the creamy and hydrating formula in your concealers and avoid heavy application. Instead, opt for lightweight concealers so that you do not end up with a cakey finish on your face. Use the firm, flat and slightly tapered Vega concealer brush that offers the perfect blending and perfect finish.
Hydrate your lips
Also a common winter problem is chapped lips. Applying lip shades can make the condition even worse for some. Hence, look for lipsticks that come with hydrating formulas or switch to lip balms. If you have to wear lipstick, apply a light coating using Vega Lip Filler Brush as it can help you apply the required amount in an even manner. Also, start exfoliating your lips gently using a lip scrub at least once a week.
Conclusion
Drinking enough water also works as a great way to keep your body hydrated which results in hydrated skin. Winter makeup doesn’t mean that you need to sacrifice your natural glow for dry and flaky skin. Use these simple tips and you can achieve a radiant look with nourished and healthy skin throughout the season.
