As seasons change, so do the needs and concerns of our skin—this calls for an update in our makeup and skincare routines too. Trade in the powder makeup for more hydrating, cream-based products that won’t dry out your skin. Cream makeup is ideal for the colder months, thanks to the formulas that not only moisturise the skin but also give it a dewy, fresh glow. Here are some of our favourite picks that we think deserve a place in your makeup kit.

1. Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional Hydrate Primer Mini – Transparent
Cold weather can zap the moisture out of the skin, making it feel dry and flaky. This can happen even if your skin type is oily. Therefore, it is important to generously moisturise and prep your skin before hopping onto makeup. The hydrating primer from Benefit Cosmetics is ideal for winter, thanks to its lightweight formula which is also infused with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid and shea butter.
2. Makeup Revolution Superdewy Tinted Moisturiser
Aiming for a dewy glow this holiday season? Use a nourishing cream foundation or a tinted moisturiser. Makeup Revolution’s Superdewy Tinted Moisturiser is one of the best options for winter because of its second-skin finish. The formula includes glycerine, a renowned hydrating ingredient and wild berry extracts, known for their antioxidant properties.
3. L.A. Girl PRO Conceal
The L.A. Girl Pro Conceal is a viral and fan-favourite concealer for good reason. It’s an easy-to-use concealer with a lightweight, creamy formula enriched with chamomile, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E. The product offers long-lasting full coverage, without the need for touch ups.
4. Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Bronzer
Don’t let winter skin get in the way of achieving a chiselled jawline and a sculpted look. A cream-based bronzer can work just as well as a powder formula. The formula is buildable, glides smoothly onto the skin and is longwear, meaning you can expect your makeup to stay in place through the day.
5. Lovechild Masaba Band Baaja Blush in Shocking Sharbat
Not only is the product richly pigmented but it is also long-lasting, easy buildable and offers a dewy finish. It is formulated with hydrating superstars like squalane and hyaluronic acid. The versatile product can be used to create looks that appeal to both beauty maximalists as well as minimalists and is a must-have in your makeup kit.
6. Smashbox Always On Shimmer Cream Eye Shadow - Golden Shimmer
The creamy texture of this eyeshadow provides easy application and blends smoothly on the skin. This is beneficial in winter when skin may be drier, as the creaminess prevents a powdery appearance. The shimmer is perfect for holiday parties too.
