Beat the Beauty Blahs

Depending on where you live, winter weather can wreak havoc on your hair and skin. Stay summer-gorgeous all year long with these boosters.

MAKEUP
Boost your glow factor with a cheek stain, like Sonia Kashuk Super Sheer Liquid Tint in Peony (A, $10, target.com for stores) — but put the color under your foundation, not over it.

To make your darker lipstick colors more luminous, swipe a sheer gloss in a gold shade over them. Try Estée Lauder Limited Edition Opulent Shimmer Gloss in Gold (esteelauder.com).

The eye area is delicate and prone to dryness and windburn. Use a sheer indigo blue or emerald eye shadow to downplay redness, and apply it with a damp brush for a dewy look that will stay put longer.

Smooth on a tinted moisturizer half a shade darker than your skin tone. It will give you a subtle sunkissed look and even out a patchy complexion.

Camouflage dark circles with a light-diffusing concealer, such as Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Concealer (sephora.com). It provides heavy-duty coverage and also contains light-reflecting particles to brighten the eye area.

SKIN
To slough away the dry skin cells that make your complexion lackluster, exfoliate your face with a gentle scrub, such as Neutrogena Deep Clean Relaxing Nightly Scrub (drugstore.com), twice a week.

Dry skin also makes fine lines more visible, so in the winter try a thicker face lotion with firming benefits, like Soap & Glory Catch a Wrinkle in Time Day Moisturizer, to tighten skin and iron out creases. Or opt for a hydrating facial oil like Josie Maran Argan Oil (josiemarancosmetics.com), to not only nourish but also combat dryness by sealing moisture into the skin.

Add instant radiance by using a body wash with light-diffusing pigments. Olay Body Wash Plus Tone Enriching Ribbons (drugstores), gives your bod a bit of sexy shimmer.

HAIR
Inflate drab winter hair by adding volumizing mousse to your styling routine. Distribute one or two golf-ball-size dollops of mousse, like Rene Furterer Volumea Volumizing Foam (beauty.com), through your hair and blow-dry, lifting hair with your fingers and blasting heat at the roots as you go.

To fight dullness, rinse your hair with a cup of apple cider vinegar after shampooing. Then apply a hot-oil treatment such as VO5 and pop on a shower cap for 30 minutes. Your hair will emerge shiny and healthy-looking.
