Products your Makeup Bag Needs this Winter

While adapting our wardrobes for winter may feel like second nature, it’s easy to forget that our makeup bag could also benefit from a seasonal update.

Freezing weather and an increase in central heating, can cause a loss of moisture to the skin, making it appear dry and lacklustre. Like our skincare regimes, hydration is key to winter makeup. Here at Editor’s Beauty we recommend avoid anything with the word mattifying, as this could cause further dryness to the skin and instead opt for products that are really going to replenish moisture level. Cream based products and liquid foundations are our go to for winter makeup, alongside hydrating lipsticks, glosses and the finesse of translucent loose powders. 

Here, we’ve rounded up all the products you need to bring back your winter glow.

TRINNY LONDON

Fresh Face Stack £56

When it comes to shopping for winter makeup, Trinny London is one brand that shouldn’t be missed. An almost entirely cream based range, Trinny’s Fresh Faced Stack is made up of three little pots that click seamlessly together and can be applied with either your finger tips or a brush. Containing an Eye2Eye, Lip Glow and Lip2Cheek, the stack can be matched exactly to your skin tone, eye colour and hair colour through their innovative Match2Me profiling tool.

ERBORIAN

CC Red Correct £18

Winter weather is notorious for causing skin irritations and rosacea flare ups, which is why we always recommend having a tube of Erborian CC Red Correct in your makeup bag. A green-toned corrector, this innovative formula adjusts to your skin tone, blurring imperfections and minimising the look of redness, while Glycerin and Tiger Grass Extract deeply moisturise and plump, as  Antioxidant-rich Vitamin E reduces imperfections. The end result. A luminous photo-ready, glowing complexion.

CODE 8

5 Sec Express Lip & Cheek Colour £27

There is nothing worse than winter chapped lips paired with a drying lipstick. Code 8’s  5 Sec Express Lip & Cheek Colour combines the hydrating and repairing benefits of a lip balm with the colour effect of a sheer lipstick. Ideal for applying colour, this multitasking long-lasting product is great for adding colour to the cheeks as well as the lips for a subtle healthy glow.
