As the weather changes, our skin adjusts to the fluctuating climate. The weather effects our makeup products and our makeup routine. Cosmetics are not only affected by the heat but also by the cold. Follow these steps to learn how to combat the weather with makeup.
Winter makeup.
The fall breeze turns into a storm of snow and our skin becomes dry. Hydration is key in the wintertime. Mixing my favorite moisturizer with my primer is my favorite beauty tip. Ditch the dewy natural look and use a matte foundation for the wintertime.
“The Nars Soft Matte foundation gives me the matte complexion I like. I love a matte look I save it more for winter,” Junior Rocio Torres said.
When paired with Matte skin a cool pink blush, very fitting for winter the subtle colors really shine.
Spring makeup
Tune up the saturation this spring and invest in colorful corals and baby pink blushes. Bright seasonal hues are always a staple for spring makeup. The pairing of coral blush with matte pink lipstick or lip gloss with a brown lip liner creates a stunning and fresh look. If dewy glossy makeup is your thing springtime is the perfect time to lean into that aesthetic with the best makeup enhancer the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter that can also double as a foundation.
Summer makeup
Skin tint, You don’t need a heavy base in the summer, you’re going to melt it off anyways. Only wear concealer if it’s necessary, again you’re going to sweat it off. Personally, I prefer a lighter formula concealer like the Morphe 2 concealer. An amazing full coverage concealer that’s light and looks like skin is the Natasha Denona Hy-Glam Serum Concealer. And of course you cannot forget about the bronzer especially in the summertime,
“I always pack on the bronzer in the summer it accentuates the tan,” senior Strawberry Kitt.
My favorite summer bronzer is between the Rare Beauty Bronzer Stick and the Saie Sun Melt Natural Bronzer. A beautiful red or warm pink blush is crucial for summer makeup look. The Tower 28 Beachplase Cream Blush in shade Sun-kissed Red, or the Charlottle Tilbury Pinkgasm Wand Blush are staples for the summer.
Fall Makeup
Fall is upon us and as the seasons change so does our makeup. Some might start with a different shade of foundation or trading in the shimmer eyeshadow for a matte brown palette. Embrace the warm tones for this fall, deep brown, espresso and rich chocolate tones are perfect for fall makeup offering endless possibilities. Pick up the Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette: The Neutrals for a year round staple in your makeup collection. Complete it with a Rosy-toned blush and lip color for a balanced finish with the Makeup by Mario Soft Pop Cream Blush stick in shade Earthy Pink.
How weather affects your makeup.
Weather and seasonal changes significantly influence your skin, affecting how your makeup wears throughout the day. In hot weather, increased sweating can lead to makeup breakdown and clogged pores, while sun exposures can cause sunburn and uneven skin texture. The best way to combat this is applying sunscreen before doing your makeup, which you should be already doing anyways, and consistently reapplying sunscreen if you’re out in the sun. The Shiseido clear Sunscreen Stick with SPF 50 or the Supergoop! (Re)setting Mineral Powder sunscreen with SPF 35. During the cold winter months, the drop in humidity and chilly temperatures can cause our skin to become extremely dry. When we turn on indoor heating, it further depletes moisture from the air, worsening the dryness. This lack of hydration weakness the skins natural barrier leading to issues like itchiness, redness, and even flakiness. Skin prep is essential to making sure your skin feel amazing under the makeup.
