Cold air, indoor heat, and low humidity can leave your skin feeling tight, flaky, and impossible to work with—especially when applying makeup. But winter doesn’t have to ruin your glow.
Here are four smart makeup hacks to keep dry skin looking fresh, hydrated, and beautifully smooth this season.
1. Double Cleanse Without Stripping
If your skin feels dry right after cleansing, it’s time to switch up your routine. Start with the Perfect Cleansing Oil to melt away makeup and SPF, followed by the gentle Perfect Foam Cleanser to remove impurities without disrupting your skin’s moisture barrier. This duo keeps your skin clean and soft—not tight or dry.
2. Hydrate Deeply Before Makeup
Prep is everything when it comes to dry skin. After cleansing, apply a rich layer of the Light Facial Cream. It locks in moisture and helps your foundation glide on more evenly, reducing the chance of clinging to dry patches or flaking throughout the day.
3. Choose a Dewy, Buildable Base
Avoid matte foundations that can emphasize texture or dryness. Instead, go for a glow-enhancing, moisture-rich formula like the Glow Compact Cushion. Its buildable coverage lets you even out your skin tone while maintaining a healthy, dewy finish that won’t cake or settle.
4. Press, Don’t Swipe
Use a damp Perfect Blender to gently press your foundation and Concealer into the skin. Swiping or dragging can disturb flaky areas, while tapping helps the product melt seamlessly—leaving you with a soft, smooth finish.
Bonus Tip: Avoid over-powdering. If you need a touch of setting, use the Perfect Stay Finishing Powder only on oily areas like the T-zone.
Dry winter skin doesn’t have to mean dull makeup days. With the right prep, tools, and formulas, you can stay glowing—even when the weather says otherwise. Try these hacks to give your skin the hydration it deserves and your makeup the smooth, radiant finish you love.
