The temperatures are dropping and you replace your bright summery clothes with darker deeper shades of winter. So, if you change your clothes it is also important to make changes in your make up look.

Protecting against dowdy and dreary skin
Skin protection is the first and most important make up tip for you. No matter how much you spend on the trendiest colors of the season, your skin will look drab and dull if it isn’t cared for right. You should begin your day with a freshly clean face and then apply a protective cream. When you decide to buy moisturizer, it is necessary to listen to your skin type, whether it’s a cream, lotion or gel, and apply moisturizer according to the skin type an the level of hydration it requires.

It will be more beneficial if you find a moisturizer with sunscreen (SPF15).  Many people associate sunscreen with the sunny days of summer but it is crucial to wear sun protection throughout the year.

Applying the Foundation
When you are finished with your moisturizer apply a creamy foundation which suits your natural skin tone. Also if it is possible you can use a tinted formula which doesn't weigh your skin down. 

When it comes to choosing the colors of foundation, it is important to remember that the days in winter get darker that's why you should consider buying a lighter color for this season and blend it with the warmer shade you wore during summer for the perfect match. Don't apply darker shades because you may create the mask effect when you face is entirey different color than your neck.

To add a little glow use a matte finish blush or bronzer which will give a natural flush to dull skin. Most women look great with shades of mauves or berries, but if you have yellow undertones and or red hair you should better use pinks.

If you’re naturally fair, don't apply a bright shade of blush in order to compensate the lack of color because you will end up resembling a clown. The lighter your skin is, the lighter shade of blush should be used.
