Adapting your makeup to the season is something every St. Louis woman should know how to do. Whether it’s switching your usual night cream to an ultra-hydrating one or opting for a more dramatic eye shadow, winter beauty is a beast all its own. Using the right skin care products and makeup can make a world of difference in your overall appearance, not to mention keep pesky dry skin and cakey makeup at bay. Here are a few simple steps to look beautiful all winter long.
1 | It’s no secret most women need more hydration during the cold winter months. Keep your skin moist and protected with L’Oreal’s RevitaLift Triple Power Deep-Acting Moisturizer. Not only will skin get the hydration it needs, but the cream simultaneously works to keep your skin looking younger. Who doesn’t want a youthful glow all year ’round?

2 | Picking the right foundation is key to winter beauty. Le Métier de Beauté doesn’t mess around when it comes to flake-free foundation. Its Classic Flawless Finish liquid foundation not only continues to hydrate winter skin, but also helps fight fine lines and keeps skin feeling fresh and flawless. Its liquid formula lends itself to drier skin types and eliminates cracking.

4 | Chapped lips are among the biggest beauty blunders of the season. Who wants to wear red lipstick (or any lipstick) when your lips feel and look like lizard scales? Enter Lush BubbleGum Lip Scrub. This one-step lip exfoliator packed with fair trade sugar and jojoba oil keeps lips feeling renewed and free of peeling skin. The bubblegum flavor makes for a tasty treat (yes, it’s edible), and your lip color of choice will glide on like a sled on ice.

pro beauty tip
Always choose a matte bronzer that is one shade darker than your natural complexion. It will give your skin a more natural glow than a liquid bronzer and will keep you from looking like an Oompa Loompa!
