There’s no denying your skin tells a story of your health, how much sleep you’re getting and whether you’ve had a healthy dose of vitamin D. During winter seasons a healthy glow can feel impossible when you’re waking up and going to sleep in the dark.  

A sign of health and hydration, there’s nothing nicer than radiant, glowing skin in winter months. While we all know the benefits of cleansing, toning and moisturising skin, there are pro tips you can apply to your makeup routine, to achieve a winter glow.  

While the days may be shorter, there’s no reason you can’t cheat the fewer hours of daylight with a winter glow that exudes health, radiance and the sunnier days to come.  

STEP ONE: HYDRA VEIL PRIMER

During winter months our skin can be at its worst with dry patches and feeling dehydrated. Our Hydra Veil Primer is a clear gel which envelopes the skin, erasing large pores and creating a fresh, smooth base to build on. This primer also hydrates while prolonging your makeup look. With a glowy texture and serious staying-power, our Hydra Veil Primer is a winter glow essential.

STEP TWO: BEYOND LIQUID HIGHLIGHTER

A concentrated liquid highlighter, our Beyond Liquid Highlighterhas the same great pay-off as our cult-favourite Beyond Powder. Versatile, this highlighter can be mixed with your Hydra Veil Primer, Skin Base Foundation or applied as the finishing touch to your look. For a lit-from-within look, we recommend mixing a drop of this highlighter into your primer and using a medium-firm fluffy brush buff into skin in circular motions for a healthy glow.

STEP THREE: SKIN BASE FOUNDATION

With a buildable formula, Skin Base Foundation is a cult favourite for good reason. Used to provide sheer and full coveragebuild this foundation in layers over your primer base, sweeping in circular motions from the centre of the face through to the neck and hairline. Blending in longer strokes allows you disperse the foundation evenly into a sheer coverage. This will also allow your primer and highlighter base to glow through.

STEP FOUR: COLOUR VEIL 

By this step, you’ll have achieved an absolutely glowing look, but it may feel a little flat. Enter: Colour Veil. A gel texture, this blusher adds instant colour to your skin, warming up the cheeks and giving your skin more dimension. The same formula as our Hydra Veil Primer, this blusher promises the same long-wear, hydrating effects. With a matte satin finish, this blusher will tie your look together without covering your dewy base or budging throughout the day.
