Winter has its icy grip on many parts of the country. But just because the mercury is dropping doesn’t mean your face can’t be warm and bright.

Sometimes just a few changes are all that is necessary to take your makeup from one season to another.

*Go a shade lighter with foundation, your usual shade may be too dark for your winter skin.

*Warm up cheeks with a brighter shade. Use sparingly, brush color lightly over the apples of your cheeks for an automatic winter warm up.

*Choose a warm, rich lipcolor. Now is the time to go for deeper reds and browns,

*Let your eyes stand out. Use eyeliner in a deep rich brown, charcoal or black. Use mascara to match for a lush lash look.

*Even if you don’t usually use face powder, try it. The powder will set your foundation and give you a matte finish.
