In addition to the fact that the funds need to be chosen for the type of skin, there are cosmetics and care that you need to use in the summer, there is something that should be locked in a distant drawer for the winter. The editorial staff of Woman’s Day found out from the official make-up artist of the Sleek MakeUP brand Angelina Nepomnyashchikh what means it is better not to use in the cold season and how to replace them.
WATER-BASED PRODUCTS
With the onset of cold weather, it is worth setting aside water-based moisturizers. Already at -5, the water begins to freeze into ice, which can damage the sensitive skin of the face. In winter, it is recommended to use nutritional formulas, and apply them at least half an hour before going outside.
WRONG TONE BASE
A dense tone can give a feeling of protection from cold winds and temperatures, but against the background of white snow and in rooms heated by batteries, such a tool will look like a heavy mask, visually giving age.
Too light foundation is also not recommended for use in winter: without proper protection, the skin can easily freeze and peel off. Choose a foundation with a delicate texture and medium coverage. Such a basis must necessarily include sunscreen filters (no one canceled protection against photoaging in winter).
Sleek MakeUP CC cream is ideal for winter cold, it contains vitamin C, the moisturizing formula nourishes the skin, and SPF 29 will provide the necessary protection.
MASCARA WITHOUT WATERPROOF EFFECT
No one is insured against a sudden snowfall in winter. Snowflakes flying into the face can ruin the most skillful makeup, dissolving mascara and leaving black smudges on the eye area. Heat-resistant or waterproof mascara can protect your makeup from this scourge.
MATT LIPSTICK
Despite the fact that lipsticks with a matte effect have been incredibly popular for several seasons, this trend can negatively affect the condition of your lips in winter. Opt for soft, deeply moisturizing textures with a light touch for a fresh look and full lip protection.
If you intend to use matte textures, choose lipsticks with the most soft formula.
DARK BLUSH
Blush that is dark or too reddish can make your face look sickly in winter. Give preference to delicate shades that visually refresh the complexion.
BRONZERS WITH SHINE
The bronzer was created to simulate a natural tan. In winter, when the skin is pale, the desire to look “kissed by the sun” is quite expected. Shiny bronzers shimmer beautifully in the summer sun, but in winter they can seem too artificial.
We recommend that you abandon the bronzer in the winter season, or limit yourself to a drop of matte. Carefully shake off excess product from the brush and lightly walk along the hairline, temples and chin (for example, Sleek MakeUP Bronze Block).
