Winter Skin & Makeup Tips




Are you wearing the proper shade of foundation? During the warm summer months, skin is typically darker. However, as we move towards cooler temperatures, most complexions tend to get a little lighter. This means a slightly lighter shade of foundation is needed. But this doesn't mean you have to look pale and pasty! Simply use bronzer and contour certain shapes of the area of the face for a natural glow. Apply bronzer in the shape of a capital cursive letter "E" to each side of the face. These are the areas where sun naturally hits the face, so by applying a little bit of bronzer to these areas, it will look natural and complement a lighter complexion. Use a highlighter to contour the brow bone and cheek bones.










Skin can also become dehydrated and dull-looking when the weather is cold and there is less humidity in the air. Combat lack-luster skin by keeping it properly moisturized and selecting makeup that will make skin look more vibrant. Consider transitioning from a matte foundation to something with a little more of a satin or dewy finish. Cream blushes are also a great alternative to pressed powder blushes.

If you need to address any post-summer skin care issues such as hyperpigmenation, now is the time. Brightening facials and peels are in demand this season! Call me for a complimentary skin care and makeover consultation!
