Winter, cold and blizzard - not a reason to abandon makeup. But to create a beautiful image, every woman needs to know and take into account the features of winter makeup. Properly selected makeup products will help keep the skin beautiful and healthy, protect it from premature aging, chapping and dehydration.
Features of facial skin care in winter
It is necessary to clean the skin at any time of the year. Only in winter this process should be as soft and gentle as possible. Beauticians recommend abandoning facial scrubs and give preference to peeling. The main difference between these cosmetic procedures in the amount of abrasive particles interacting with the skin.
Attention! Do not use alcohol-based tonic and cleansers. Even oily skin in the cold season is quite strongly exposed to the negative effects of frosty air.
In winter, it is no less important than in summer to nourish and moisturize the skin. Such remedies should be used daily in the morning and evening after cleansing procedures. This will allow longer to maintain youthfulness and elasticity of the skin, to prevent peeling and the appearance of a feeling of tightness. When choosing a cream, it is necessary to take into account the type of facial skin.
Protective tone
Frost and cold wind outside, dry indoor air cause additional skin problems: it begins to peel off, crack and become covered with small wrinkles. Therefore, moisturizing components must be included in the makeup base and foundation.
Note! If compact powder is used as a foundation, it is recommended to moisturize the face with thermal or mineral water before applying it.
In the cold season, a tonal base with the content of essential oils of tea tree or grape seed should be preferred. Such products are characterized by a denser texture, which will not only give the skin the right shade, but also help protect its negative environmental effects.
By winter, a natural tan gradually disappears from the skin. On a pale face, all imperfections are better visible: acne, age spots, dark circles under the eyes. Therefore, in addition to the foundation, there should be a concealer or concealer in the cosmetic bag that will help mask small flaws.
Although winter does not spoil the sunshine too often, cosmetologists still recommend using a tonal base with protective UV filters. Even in cloudy weather, the skin is exposed to the negative effects of ultraviolet rays. For young skin, products with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 should be selected, for mature skin - at least 35.
Perky blush
In frosty weather, a natural healthy glow appears on the skin. Therefore, in order to avoid the image of “Barbarian Beauty” from Soviet fairy tales, it is recommended in winter to only slightly emphasize with cheekbones. For the cold season, creamy cream products are perfect. They additionally moisturize and protect the skin from frost and chapping.
Important! Makeup artists recommend being as careful as possible with your favorite bronzers. An excess of such blush will give pale skin a completely unnatural look.
In winter, it is better to use blush in delicate pink shades, a tone darker than the natural color of the skin. Using a brush or sponge, this makeup product should be applied in circular motions to the cheekbones, forehead, nose and chin.
Mouth-watering sponges
Lips are the most sensitive part of the face to frost. In winter, you should give preference to moisturizing and nourishing products, because a simple lipstick is quickly washed off.
Remember! In winter, do not forget about lip peeling. Such a procedure will help get rid of keratinized particles of the skin, so that the lipstick will lie more even and last longer.
To preserve the beauty of the lips in the cold season, cosmetologists recommend adhering to two simple rules:
- apply several layers of makeup - nourishing balm, lipstick and shine for volume and glossy effect;
- always carry a lip care product - hygienic lipstick, balm or special oils.
When choosing a shade of lipstick, it is recommended to give preference to warm saturated tones. "Juicy" colors will look contrasting on fair skin and give an image of femininity. The best choice would be red, caramel and wine shades of matte texture.
Expressive look
When choosing shades for winter make-up, it is not recommended to use cold and classic pastel colors. They will make the skin even paler and emphasize small flaws on the face. It is better to use deep gray, brown and purple shades.
The same rule applies to eyeliner. Black, dark blue and brown arrows will help to make the look as expressive as possible. For decoration, you can use sparkles.
Important! The appearance of the painted eyelashes does not depend on the composition of the mascara, but on the shape and material of the brush. To get the maximum volume, it is better to use a large silicone brush with small bristles. Narrow brushes will help to extend and curl eyelashes.
In winter, you can use mascara of any favorite shade: black, brown, blue, green. The main thing is that the color is combined with the general style of makeup. It is recommended to apply mascara in several layers: this trick will help to avoid spreading during walks in the rain and blizzard. In such weather, it is better to give preference to waterproof mascara and eyeliner.
Using these simple rules will help every woman to remain well-groomed and attractive in the cold season. It should be remembered that in winter you need to abandon the use of cosmetic ice: the skin is already quite susceptible to the effects of frosty air. To avoid chapping and peeling, it is recommended to apply all moisturizing and nourishing agents at least one hour before going outside.
