Winter Makeup Tip – Moisturize
The first things that you can use to deal with winter skin conditions are good quality moisturizers. In fact you will want to use a moisturizer in the morning and then a night tim...

e moisturizer before you go to bed. By developing a moisturizing routine you will be able to keep your skin healthy and you will be creating a healthy base for your makeup to be applied on.

Take Care of Your Lips
The skin on your lips is very sensitive. During the winter months your lips are going to get chapped, they are going to peel, and they are going to crack. When this happens your whole look is ruined. To minimize the disruption to your appearance caused by lip conditions you need to take steps to prevent these conditions from developing and you will need to take steps to treat these conditions once they occur. To be prepared to care for your lips during the winter months you will want to have a lip exfoliator, lip moisturizers, chap stick, and limp balm on hand at all times.

Find a Winter Color Palette
As I mentioned earlier holiday color palettes can be less than attractive. If you want to put together a winter makeup palette for the holiday season then you need to select colors that will compliment holiday colors, but that will also not clash with your skin tone and eye color. To do this you may need to rely on a neutral color palette that is highlighted by a single holiday color that compliments your skin tone or eye color. You will only want to use the holiday color on your eyes or on your mouth, because if you use it on both of these facial features then your face may look unbalanced.

Add Shimmer and Shine to Your Winter Look
During most of the year women tend to use a matte lip color. However, during the winter months you may want to wet the look of your lips by using a glossy finished lip color or a wet finish lip color. This will create a glowing look that is perfect for the holiday season and special events that happen during the winter months.

Sparkle
During the winter months you can get away with using makeup that has more sparkle and shine to it. One way that you can add sparkle to your makeup is to use a powder that is infused with sparkles. This will help to liven up, and brighten up, your dull winter skin.
