8 tips for a dewy winter look
Winter can leave your skin feeling dry and dull. However, with the right techniques and products you can achieve a radiant, dew complexion that defies the season.
From prepping your skin to choosing hydrating makeup products, this guide covers everything you need to know to glow all winter long.
1 Exfoliate regularly: prepping your skin with gentle exfoliation is the first step to a radiant winter glow. That allows moisturisers and serums to penetrate more effectively, and it will create a smooth base for your makeup.
2 Hydrate: use richer moisturisers or oils suited to your skin’s needs and layer them with cream or liquid makeup products for a plump, hydrated look.
3 Use oil: oil helps seal in hydration and gives your skin a healthy and luminous finish.
4 Choose the right foundation: get a sheer liquid foundation or tinted moisturiser to let your skin's natural texture shine through. These formulas often include hydrating ingredients and provide a soft, glowing effect, perfect for the winter months. Use concealer sparingly to address specific areas while keeping the overall look light and fresh.
5 Glowing bronze: once your foundation is in place, incorporate a luminous bronzer or blush to add warmth and depth to your look.
6 Highlight strategically: for the ultimate dewy finish, apply a cream or balm highlighter to the high points of your face, such as the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and Cupid’s bow.
7 Pick a blush: a pop of vibrant blush can bring warmth and colour to your look, even in the dull winter months.
8 Set the look: to keep your makeup in place and your skin looking fresh, finish with a setting spray.
