For those of us whose idea of a winter glow doesn’t involve jetting off to a tropical resort, we have the happy task of adjusting our skincare and makeup instead to accommodate for the dry, cold, sharp air and punishing, even more drying indoor heating (fun).
Flaky, dry, irritated skin seems to be the norm every winter and yet, still remains to look cute. Lucky for us, there’s makeup.
It’s just going to take some tweaking to prevent it from betraying us by drawing attention to just how winter-ravaged our skin is.
Dare we dew? We do. We’ve enlisted the expertise of professional makeup artists to show us how we can use makeup to appear like an ethereal glowing angel in the depths of winter (and none of them involve bronzer).

OK, this is technically a skin-care tip, but it’s actually helpful to think of it as a step in your makeup routine because it’s the best way to achieve a dewy, glowy complexion before you even think about busting out the highlighter.
“Spend extra time massaging [moisturizer] in to boost skin’s natural glow,” says makeup artist Nick Barose.
“Be generous with it, and don’t forget your neck.” In need of a good moisturizer? We’ve already vetted these Best of Beauty winners, or you can try any one of these favorites.
