Your skin changes with the seasons—so your makeup should too. While your go-to summer foundation might have nailed that sweat-proof finish, cold weather demands a formula that hydrates, protects, and enhances your skin without clinging to dry patches.
Here’s why it’s worth switching up your foundation once winter hits.
1. Your Skin Is Drier in Winter
Cold air outside and indoor heating inside can zap moisture from your skin. If you stick with a matte or oil-controlling formula, your foundation can start to look flaky, patchy, or dull. Hydrating foundations are key to keeping your skin smooth and comfortable.
Try this:
The Glow Compact Cushion delivers a dewy, buildable finish with lightweight hydration that keeps your skin looking fresh—even in freezing temps.
2. Your Skin Tone May Shift
Less sun exposure means you’re likely a shade lighter in winter. Using the same shade year-round can leave you looking too orange or mismatched. A seasonal check-in helps keep your foundation looking seamless.

3. Winter Skin Needs Extra TLC
With your skin more prone to sensitivity and irritation in winter, choosing a foundation that’s gentle and breathable is non-negotiable. Look for formulas that support your skin barrier rather than clogging pores or settling into fine lines.
Try this:
The Glow Compact Cushion Essentials set includes the cushion, a refill, and the Perfect Blender for flawless, skin-loving coverage all season long.
4. Dewy Finishes Look More Natural in Cold Weather
Dewy skin looks healthy and radiant—something we all need a little more of during the darker, colder months. Unlike mattes that can emphasize texture, a glow finish gives skin life and dimension.
Try this:
Apply your foundation with a damp Perfect Blender to help it melt into your skin for that fresh, natural finish.
Winter skin is different. It’s more delicate, more dehydrated, and in need of extra care. Switching to a foundation that supports hydration, matches your tone, and feels comfortable is a small seasonal shift that can make a big difference in how your makeup wears—and how your skin feels.
