Winter Makeup Tips
As a brand inspired by nature, we love winter for its crisp mornings, soft light and fresh air. However, we know that with this also comes dry and dull skin that can make it hard to savour the season. We know how much you loved our Summer Beauty Tips, so now we’ve put together the same for Winter. So you can get the most out of your makeup while enjoying the season for all its beauty.
Start with a Primer
We say this a lot because it’s worth repeating, a good primer is the secret to makeup that lasts all day, especially in winter when skin can feel drier or more uneven. Our Soft Focus Pore Perfecting Primer blurs pores, redness and fine lines for a smooth, even canvas. Or try the Bronze Glow Primer for a silky base that glows through the cooler months. Be sure to let your primer fully absorb into your skin before applying foundation.
Don’t skip the SPF
Just because it feels like the sun isn’t out doesn’t mean you don’t need sunscreen. UV rays are present all year round, so SPF is a non-negotiable.* Try our Ageless Hydrating Face Fluid SPF 50+, or if you’re prone to breakouts opt for the Clear Urban Defence Face Fluid SPF 50+. We often say the best sunscreen formula is the one you want to wear every day, so its worth finding the right formula for your skin. We’ve got you covered with our facial sunscreens. And if you’re still stuck, try our skincare finder!
Reach for cream formulas
Cream based makeup is your best friend in winter - it melts into the skin for a dewy finish and helps hydrate skin. Our Cream Stick Blusher, Bronzer and Highlighter deliver a warm glow and contain natural skin loving ingredients.
When it comes to foundation and you usually wear a powder, try our Cream-to-Powder Foundation. It combines the easy coverage of a cream foundation with the staying power and velvety, shine-free finish of a quality powder. One of our best-selling makeup products so we’re confident you’ll love it!
Warm up your eye look
Winter is the perfect excuse to reach for warmer, richer tones on your eyes – I like to experiment with bronzed browns, terracottas and soft mauves that complement the season and winter outfits beautifully. Our eyeshadow sticks make it easy to create a warm, wearable winter eye look.
Prep lips the night before
As we all know, cold weather can leave lips feeling dry and flakey, which causes lip colour to not sit right or last long. Take a moment for your lips in the evening with our Glow Lip Care Bundle. Start with the Buff Away Smoothing Lip Scrub to gently exfoliate away dry, rough skin, then follow with the Luscious Overnight Lip Mask for deep, nourishing hydration. Leaving your lips ready for whatever lip colour you choose later.
Set it with a spritz
Keep it all protected from the winter elements with our Makeup Setting Spray. It’s formulated with Rose and Aloe Vera to soothe and hydrate while keeping your foundation, eyeshadow and blush in place — no smudging, sliding or fading. One spritz and you're good to go.
We hope these tips help you make the most of your makeup this winter and savour the season for all its quiet beauty. From a primed, protected base to nourished, glowing lips - happy, healthy looking skin is always in season.
