The Best Winter Makeup Must Haves For Women Over 50

Gurls, winter is officially here, and it’s time to rethink our makeup routine. The cold air, windy days, and gas heat can take a toll, and your makeup can look dry and cracked. No one wants to look like a raisin in holiday photos! Today, I’m sharing the best winter makeup must-haves for women over 50. Get your makeup bag ready!

You’ve heard me mention many times that I have extremely dry skin. I am always in search of products to help, and some of them make the condition better, but it never goes away. This is what I’ve been using, and it does a great job.

The Best Winter Makeup Must Haves For Women Over 50 – Skincare

Let’s start with some eye cream. I don’t know about you, but my crow’s feet start to feel dry and sore after a day in the winter air. There are a ton of expensive products I could have chosen, but CereVe is tried and true. This is a great eye cream at a low price point.

I LOVE these eye masks. They help reduce bags and puffiness, as well as moisturize. For an added bonus, keep in the fridge so that they’re nice and cool. I’m not the only one who’s a fan. These Grace & Stella masks have a 4.7-star rating and have been reviewed over 19,000 times!

Makeup isn’t going to look smooth on dry and cracked skin! Is ruddy skin ever a good look? This cream is formulated to help reduce redness overnight. It’s fragrance-free and made for sensitive skin. Cetaphil is another household name. This cream has over 19,000 reviews and a 4.4-star rating!

After all of the moisturizing, but BEFORE the foundation, you must wear primer. Gurls, primer is a must-have! My granddaughter just bought this primer yesterday. E.L.F products are inexpensive, and they make several primers, but I love that this is hydrating. The reviews are great, as to be expected. If you haven’t used a primer before, you’re in for a treat. The foundation goes on so much smoother!

Some foundations can feel powdery, even though they’re liquid. They are great for certain circumstances, but not if you suffer from dry skin. This lightweight foundation from Neutrogena sounds perfect! It helps dry skin by boosting hydration with a lightweight water gel formula. Plus, it features hyaluronic acid, an ingredient known for its skin-plumping properties!

Lips get cracked and dry, too! I can’t be the only one who goes to bed with a lip mask on, can I? Guess what’s special about this Revlon lipstick? That’s right. It’s moisturizing! There are ten different colors at the link, and of course, the ratings are great. And it won’t break the bank!

Here’s another e.l.f product that I like. This is called their “Putty” blush, but I’d call it cream to powder, lol. It is infused with Argan Oil and Vitamin E to hydrate, nourish, and moisturize the skin. Yes, please! It’s available in 6 shades and is under $10 dollars!

Your hair gets dry in the winter, so it makes sense that your eyelashes can as well. Here’s another great product from Neutrogena. Winter is ALL about getting moisture back into your skin. This mascara is enriched with hydrating Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E, and Keratin for dry or brittle lashes. I don’t know about you, but I can’t afford to lose any more than I have already.

This skin mist can be used as a primer, but I’d use it as a finishing spray. It gives a nice refreshing bit of hydration and glow on the face and can be used throughout the day. Does your makeup look dry after a few hours? Give it a spritz. Going on a plane and feel like your skin is dry? Give it a spritz!

This is a great time to go through your makeup bag. Throw away anything dried or outdated, and get some winter hydrating products!
