Face: For a good winter time moisturizer you can try out Lush’s Gorgeous moisturize; it will leave your skin feeling soft all day long. Another great moisturizer for the winter is Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion; this moisturizing has Natural Colloidal Oatmeal in it which helps to stop you skin from getting dry during winter.
Foundation: During the cold season it is best to use a cream foundation; because unlike liquid foundations when the cold air hit them they do not turn out cakey, or freeze on the skin. We found to great cream foundations; the first is Revlon DermaBreathe, priced at $7.26 this is a great product that will give you just enough coverage with out your face looking heavy and thick. But if you rather have a liquid foundation, try Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Liquid Foundation,
although not a full coverage foundation it is great for covering up blemish and gives your face a beautiful glow for just $8.97.
Powder: I think that one of the best year around face powder would have to be MAC’s Mineralized Skinfinish Natural, this product will leave you face looking flawless and glowing, although priced at a high $25.00 it is definitely worth the price and will last you all winter long. A much cheaper alternative is NYC Smooth Skin Pressed Face Powder, for only $1.99 it gives you a nice finely milled look.
Blush: Light color blush are the best for winter, if you have oily skin try Maybelline’s Dream Mousse Blush, priced at $7.49; it is very is to blend and goes on very smooth. NYX Cosmetics Powder Blush retail at $5.59 and gives you a very rosy healthy look.
