The Best Intensive Moisturizers For Dry Winter Skin, According To Hydrated Reviewers Griffin Wynne · Dec. 31, 2022

Apply directly onto your face, starting in the centre, from your forehead, down your nose and chin. Apply one swipe along your cheekbones and under your eyes. Swipe 2-3 times in an area for more coverage.I’ve been using this product regularly for almost a month, and as someone with dry, sensitive, sometimes acne-prone skin, it hasn’t caused any irritation or major breakouts. I do avoid using it in areas where I tend to frequently get blemishes.

Both weightless and waterproof, this foundation is in a league of its own. “Its innovative formula adjusts to your body temperature to give you great coverage for up to 12 hours,” says makeup artist Genevieve Garner. Meanwhile, the triangular-shaped tip makes it easy to apply all over the face, including hard-to-reach areas and crevices. Medium coverage meets a matte finish, but if you’re nervous about it feeling dry, no sweat: The moisturizing formula resists caking and creasing. It’s also infused with fatty-acid-rich sunflower-seed oil to soften and smooth skin as it camouflages, and comes in 34 shades. Patinkin loves Merit Beauty’s foundation for its thinner, rounded application tip, which, she says, “can easily be used for concealing and building extra coverage around the nose.” Its lightweight formula is infused with skin-care staples like glycerin and fatty acids to retain moisture and condition skin as you wear it. One of the most important ingredients I look for in foundation formulas is water,” says Senior MAC Makeup artist, Fatima Thomas. “Water is the essence of hydration, so reach for water-based liquid formulas, especially if you have drier skin,” she adds. For buildable coverage, use a silicone and sponge blender. Use the silicone side to stipple and build coverage, and the sponge side to smooth for a soft-focus finish.

Calling all combination skin types: “This is a longtime makeup artist favorite for good reason,” says Garner. Its moisturizing formula “mimics a natural skin finish and is great for all skin types,” she explains, while the water-, sweat-, and humidity-resistant formula delivers moisture via a blend of powerful emollients, including olive extract and shea butter. To conceal and touch up: Swirl your ring finger on top to warm up the product, then gently pat this finger onto areas that need more coverage (such as dark circles, blemishes or discolouration). Keep patting to blend as needed. Designed to conceal, contour, cover, highlight, and blend—hence its name—this oil-free, transfer-resistant formulation offers a guaranteed 24-hour wear time. The matte finish looks and feels like a second skin, while the built-in brush is ideal for on-the-go use. You may swear by your trusty liquid or powder, but what you probably didn't know is that these hybrids sit somewhere in between - so you really do get the best of both worlds. Lancôme's oil-free formula is perfect for oily skin types who are looking for a more skin-like matte finish.
