Winter Makeup Tips for a Smooth Complexion

An unfortunate circumstance that brings winter dry, dull, and parched skin. The worst is when, no matter how moisturized you think your face is, you still get dry spots and sometimes flakes after applying your foundation and/or powder.

Routines can be difficult to start, much less maintain, but as an Esthetician/Make Up Artist I see this problem every time the winter comes into play. I suggest a gentle, milky cleanser and oil-free lotion (that’s if you have oily skin), and once a week exfoliate your face, to remove to dead skin cells, that will get in the way when your applying foundation.

After exfoliating, I recommend waiting five to 10 minutes for your moisturizer to really absorb into your skin. If you have to run, wait at least 2 minutes take a face tissue and lightly dab off any excess moisturizer.

Now, if you can not wait, not even 2 minutes, to help ensure a baby-soft finish, however, you can add a bit of lotion to your liquid foundation and smooth the combined elements onto your face. If after applying your foundation and finalizing it with a setting powder, if you see a dry spot, dab on some moisturizer on that small section and a little foundation and blend, then set it with a powder. There you have, a soft and smooth complexion… All Winter Long!
