Square Magazine Staff Picks: Winter Makeup Essentials
Square Magazine Staff Picks: Winter Makeup Essentials
By: Madalyn Dudley
Winter weather is in full effect which leaves many of us looking to switch up our makeup routine to fight off the harsh temperatures and dry air. Selecting the perfect makeup routine for winter poses many challenges as your skin is already drier than normal, so adding on heavy makeup could make a bad problem worse. Thankfully, the Square Magazine staff has curated a list of their favorite winter makeup products to help you create a winter makeup routine that will leave your skin looking lively and hydrated, no matter the conditions outside.

NARS Light Reflecting Foundation
“I splurged on this product to replace my usual drugstore foundation, and it was definitely a worthy investment! It’s full coverage, but never cakey. The glass skin effect is so good, you can skip the highlighter.”
Jasmine Gibbs- Creative
“It’s such a versatile moisturizer and always a lifesaver during winter.”
Sheridan Mark- Creative Director
“This has been the end of all mascaras for me since I was 16. I recently switched to a different brand because a free sample drew me in but I always come crawling back to roller lash. It lifts and curls and looks so natural, yet is so buildable.”
Haley Clift- Social Media Director
Colorescience Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50
“It has great SPF for everyday wear and has a tint so wear it as a tinted moisturizer too!”
Taylor Townsend- Business Team
Benefit Liquid Cheek Blush and Lip Tint
“The benetint is the best for those who love blush!!! It’s amazing”
Grace Barrett- Business Team
“This primer just illuminates my face and gives me a glow in this dull weather!”
Writer’s Choice
Tarte Fake Awake Eye Highlight
I have given white eyeliner a chance on my water line, but I believe this neutral eyeliner by Tarte is the perfect natural eyeliner to highlight your eyes without the effect being too dramatic on the eye. Even on the days I do not wear makeup, this product helps elevate my natural skin and give me that “fake awake” glowy look.
Do not let the winter weather get you down. Look forward to getting ready every morning by stocking your makeup bag filled with these simple yet effective makeup essentials.
