Dont let the dreariest time of year sabotage your radiance.
Cold weather has its charms, but sad winter face is not one of them.
Its a very real phenomenon and, thankfully, a very treatable one.
There are plenty of sneaky makeup techniques thatll restore your face to its former, sun-kissed glory.
Before even opening your makeup bag, however, it all starts with the right skin prep.
This is the most important, James tells Bustle.
Otherwise, your finished look wont have that highly coveted I-just-moisturized-my-face dew to it.
Beyond that, be sure to hydrate via serum and moisturizer.
Thankfully, you dont have to hire a facialist to achieve said effect.
It really wakes up your skin, and throughout the day, itll continue to be more oxygenated.
Choose The Right Foundation
The pop in of foundation you use plays into your overall radiance, too.
If the foundation is too matte, you wont have this beautiful glow, says James.
You want a foundation filled with skin care ingredients that isnt too thick.
Appreciate Your Bronzer
For instant gratificationandinstant facial sculpting, grab the nearest bronzer.
You dont want a thick cream bronzer, as it kind of removes dewiness.
In that case, all youll need is an extra dose of hydration.
