Winter is here and while we’re bundling up in shearling parkas and cashmere cardi’s, there’s no need to pile on the makeup. A few key products are all that’s required to look done but not overdone. Obviously a good dose of moisturizer is required to prevent dry or dehydrated skin during cooler temperatures. Keeping hydration as a theme I love to use creamy blush on the cheeks. Skin will look moist and glowy and feel good too. Tinted lip balm is a convenient alternative to gloss, for adding colour and locking in moisture. Smudge some dark brown eyeliner around the eyes, and you’re ready for the cold outdoors with a hint of colour and a bit of a glow—hot!

For smooth lips wrap a make up wipe around your finger, and gently scrub dry chapped skin from your lips. Once all the dry skin is removed, apply a lip balm to lock in moisture and keep lips looking soft and supple.
