As the weather changes, you will want your makeup to keep pace with it. Therefore, you do not have to be afraid of your winter makeup renewal. Nothing can be as boring as staying the same. So, one day you will have to venture on a radical appearance change that will help you feel more confident. But forget the 'trendy' makeup looks you see in the magazines. Go for the cosmetics that accentuate and emphasize your individuality. Winter brings us low temperatures, harsh winds and dry air that bombard the skin's barrier - the surface cells of the epidermis. As the result, your skin becomes dry and dull. It means that in winter the skin protection is as necessary as in summer. The makeup will look natural only if the skin is healthy and clean. The first thing you should do is to select a face pack to correspond to your skin type. Clean your face with a cube of ice and then use your day cream. Before putting on winter makeup, you should first apply protection cream, because such creams have more adipose components and protective wax than summer creams. If your daytime moisturizer does not contain sun protection filters, look for a foundation that does, because UVA and UVB light waves are very active in winter too. The shade of the foundation should be as close to your skin color as possible. If not, you will have an eye-catching contrast line between your face and neck. Of course, you have lots of questions concerning the colors of winter makeup! My answer is: use any winter colors that suit you, try experimenting. It can be icy green, blue, yellow, reddish, etc, but it should be matt and accentuate your natural eye color. You can add thin delicate lines to your eyes, use waterproof mascara and you will always look a million dollars. In order to have a steady color of your face, it is better to use a friable powder than a compact one. If you want to keep your look fresh and rosy, use some shades for cheekbones. And one more very important ingredient of the winter makeup is lipstick. Look for one that contains natural ingredients like shea butter and aloe. For protective lip care use different creams with soothing cucumber, chamomile and green-tea extracts. Put some cream on your lips, use some powder and then use your lipstick for better protection and a richer color. Choose any color you like, nevertheless, try to accentuate only your eyes or lips. Winter makeup does not have to be aggressive. Remember, for daytime you can create a subtle look of simple elegance, whereas for the evening, just apply a bit more for depth and drama. Finally, go with the skin-loving lifestyle. Have a long and tight sleep, numerous winter holidays will help you out. Not enough sleep is likely to supply you with dark circles under your eyes and rob the luster from skin and it leaves you feeling tired and sore into the bargain. It does give you different long lasting problems with health, and even obesity. Learn how to manage your personal time and plan ahead. Pay a little bit more attention to your everyday lifestyle; it will give you a chance of having beautiful skin and a gorgeous look.
