Winter months Tips, and Tricks....

During the winter months, you do not have to be thinking about pastels and summery colors. Rather, now is the time to change things up to match a more drastic style, if you would like to. In any case, the following tips should be kept in mind.

1. Try oil based moisturizers and protective style foundations instead of lighter foundations used in summer. These will help to protect your skin from drying out and they give you a more substantial look.
2. Go for color that is more dramatic on the eyes. Try a matte eye shadow for the spring months, or choose winter colors that are darker, like grays and browns rather than pastels.
3. Blush may be more dramatic tool. Use earth tones instead of soft peaches and pinks for a real statement.
4. Remember to protect your skin if you are outdoors. Even in the winter months, the sun is glaring down. You need SPF protection.
5. Go for thicker and more prominent mascara. You can repeat this heavier color with your lips, too. Choose darker colors with more substance to them.

Makeup tips in the winter are designed to help make a statement. It is easy to fade away during the winter months. Avoid that by using more color and more dimensions in that color
