Jessikams, can you wear a knitted face mask/ baklava when you need to be outside? Then your skin would keep its moisture a lot better.<br /> The weather where I live is not nearly as bad as what you describe but we do get snow and for Winter I wear thicker and more moisturizing face creams and serums. I like Ahava. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-makeup-in-winter/page/2#post-1981053 Sun, 09 Dec 2018 23:19:23 +0000 Cee 1981053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...As long as you don't work in a bank ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-makeup-in-winter/page/2#post-1981051 Sun, 09 Dec 2018 23:18:12 +0000 Cee 1981051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'd just leave a ski-mask on all day ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-makeup-in-winter/page/2#post-1980950 Sun, 09 Dec 2018 16:41:59 +0000 annagybe 1980950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very heavy duty, but Dermablend is used to cover up tattoos &amp; scars. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-makeup-in-winter/page/2#post-1980899 Sun, 09 Dec 2018 06:56:54 +0000 Jessikams 1980899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be sure to share more of Beijing life and fashion here in future!

Jessikams, what an amazing opportunity to live in Beijing. It sounds like it has its challenges but I hope it is equally rewarding. I’d love to hear more about your life there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-makeup-in-winter/page/2#post-1980753 Sat, 08 Dec 2018 15:41:45 +0000 Bennett 1980753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, when it's windy...&nbsp; I have some clear (no prescription) eyeglasses that work wonders to keep my eyes from watering! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-makeup-in-winter/page/2#post-1980749 Sat, 08 Dec 2018 15:38:40 +0000 Bennett 1980749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also swear by Double Wear foundation by Estee Lauder. It doesn"t transfer to my clothing. I use mascara on the upper lashes only, in case my eyes water. Lining right on the roots of lower lashes and smudging it in takes the place of the mascara. I use Urban Decay eyeliner pencil, it glides on well. Allows time to smudge and fudge a bit before setting and staying all day. I think my color is either ?SMOG? or ?ROACH? ????? Both are lighter browns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-makeup-in-winter/page/2#post-1980674 Sat, 08 Dec 2018 05:44:52 +0000 Jessikams 1980674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny I had forgotten about olive oil! Sometimes I use coconut oil. The smell can take me away to a warmer place...a tropical place.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-makeup-in-winter/page/2#post-1980672 Sat, 08 Dec 2018 05:43:21 +0000 shiny 1980672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of the best moisturizers (and facial cleaners!) is olive oil. Yes the same stuff in your kitchen! I use this from time to time in the winter when my skin is feeling really dry and flaking.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-makeup-in-winter/page/2#post-1980664 Sat, 08 Dec 2018 05:28:58 +0000 Jessikams 1980664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lot of creative solutions! And great reminders that hydration and multi-step moisturizing are both key to looking one’s best (and feeling energized, and preventing illness). I try to keep myself from taking super hot showers, as that dries out the skin, but sometimes I can’t resist. Do you think anybody would notice if I just stayed in the gym steam sauna for the next 3 months?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-makeup-in-winter/page/2#post-1980627 Sat, 08 Dec 2018 01:27:57 +0000 Gretchen 1980627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for tinted SPF or BB cream. When I'm in cold areas, I'll moisturize right out of the shower, then add BB cream about 30 minutes later (I need something daily to even out the freckles).&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, you might want to carry makeup wipes with you - they can remove the stains on clothing if you still transfer some color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-makeup-in-winter/page/2#post-1980609 Sat, 08 Dec 2018 00:36:54 +0000 nemosmom 1980609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Beijing seems crazy cool! I had no idea you were living there! </p> <p>I’m in Chicago. I’ve given up on wearing foundation in the winter because the crazy wind and wet weather make my eyes water and run my makeup off. Plus, the dry air inside just makes me look cakey. I use loads of moisturizer and sunscreen, and also use waterproof mascara. Lisa Watier and MAC PowerPoint eyeliners hold up well. My go-to Rimmel concealer that held up in this weather was discontinued, so I’m on the hunt for a new one that won’t streak. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-makeup-in-winter/page/2#post-1980584 Fri, 07 Dec 2018 22:25:19 +0000 LaPed 1980584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I'm surprised by how many people wear waterproof mascara on a day-to-day basis! I find it makes my lashes dry and brittle and irritates my already-sensitive eyes (wearing it and removing it!). I definitely wouldn't want to use it in the winter.</p> <p>I use a tinted SPF year round, hardly ever use foundation. It doesn't transfer nearly as much as a traditional foundation because the pigment is pretty minimal (but so is the coverage). I've never had a problem with it transferring, but I suspect it's still a good idea to let it fully set/absorb before putting on scarf/hat etc.&nbsp;</p> <p>Setting sprays are pretty good for keeping make-up in place but as others have mentioned I've never met one that really holds up to abrasion (such as blowing your nose). I mean, you have to be able to get it off somehow! ;)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-makeup-in-winter/page/2#post-1980551 Fri, 07 Dec 2018 20:57:52 +0000 bj1111 1980551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with km’s Canmake cream blush rec. second tinted moisturizer or add a drop of foundation to your sunscreen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-makeup-in-winter/page/2#post-1980522 Fri, 07 Dec 2018 18:07:43 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1980522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to keep a cushion foundation in my car or my purse for touch-ups, but most break me out so I haven't gotten a new one. A solid stick one is a good idea. I get the makeup worn off around the nose thing all the time in the winter, so I'm glad to read everyone's tips. I recently bought All Nighter spray and it seems to help with general long-lasting-ness, but it's no match for actual physical contact like with tissues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-makeup-in-winter/page/2#post-1980517 Fri, 07 Dec 2018 17:55:58 +0000 shiny 1980517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear L'Oreal True Match foundation and it doesn't rub off on my clothes.&nbsp;</p> <p>Personally I do like a bit of foundation as I feel it protects my skin from pollution as it acts like a barrier.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-makeup-in-winter#post-1980515 Fri, 07 Dec 2018 17:35:43 +0000 JamieP 1980515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another Minnesotan here! I don't wear a ton of makeup but Bobbi Brown foundation stick lightly used for touchup on reddened checks and nose works wonderfully. A shinier lip (not gloppy lip gloss tho) really does brighten the whole face.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-makeup-in-winter#post-1980497 Fri, 07 Dec 2018 16:26:00 +0000 chouette22 1980497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Lisa...

I touch up with mascara on the ends of my upper lashes only. Smashbox Photofinish Primer is lovely and you can forego foundation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-makeup-in-winter#post-1980493 Fri, 07 Dec 2018 16:21:03 +0000 Cee 1980493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ouch...

Jessikams, I had no idea you lived there.&nbsp;</p> <p>Re makeup rubbing off on scarves etc - it also happens around the inside edges of collars of coats and jackets....which is so gross. &nbsp;I am so self-conscious of that, and constantly aware of it and monitoring it. &nbsp;I try to remember not to put any makeup anywhere near my chin and neck in the winter - which is easier said than done. &nbsp;Wish I could go without, but my skin is just not that even anymore at my advanced age &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-makeup-in-winter#post-1980480 Fri, 07 Dec 2018 15:42:09 +0000 abc 1980480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, to try to keep the makeup in place you could use a setting powder or spray.&nbsp; That should help.</p> <p>But IMHO (echoing what has already been said) skincare is #1.&nbsp; Lots of moisturizer, and drinking lots of water through the day.</p> <p>Super interested in hearing how it is to live in China! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-makeup-in-winter#post-1980478 Fri, 07 Dec 2018 15:34:43 +0000 JAileen 1980478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - Siberia!

It is a coastal climate, rather humid and we never have extremely freezing temperatures. It is often very windy, so the temperatures feel colder than they actually are. As for my winter make-up routine, I use always foundation, but wintertime I prep with a thick layer of rich moisturizer (for mature skin, so it contains oils as well) and let it absorb a couple of minutes. My foundation (Double Wear from Esté Lauder) is virtually non-transferable, it is waterproof and with high coverage. It kind of seals in the moisturizer. The finish is mat, so no powder is needed on my skin. I think it would work in very cold weather too.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
