guys it's me Nikki now you might be wondering girl where the hell are you welcome to winter wonder week it's gonna be a great week winter wonder week 2018 is here and I wanted to kick off this week by showing you the ultimate winter makeup routine I think one of the most challenging things is making sure that your makeup lasts throughout the winter wanted to sit down and really show you from step one till the very glam and exactly what I do all the steps that I take to make sure that my face lasts from morning tonight a very cold morning to a cold night and I'm going to be totally honest with you winter makeup routines are so different compared to spring or summer makeup routines because there's a lot of different factors that you have to you know think of and now of course if I make all these promises on camera you want proof so stay tuned towards the the center like the middle of this video do you really see this makeup look tested in a brutally wintery way how do you how do you just walk like this wait I'm still in the pizza yep yep when I'm telling you that I'm really about to test this makeup and put it through everything that winter can give us trust me all right without any further ado let's go one thing that is essential in the winter time is skincare and I personally don't really like it when when channels go i'ma go skincare is so important and I'm like we can rely on the makeup but honestly trust me when I say that skincare does half of the job when it comes to a flawless face during winter for me personally I have a dry combination skin overall my skin is pretty dry but my t-zone can get very very oily throughout the day so I need something that both gives me that moisture and hydration but also keeps things in check and also with those cold winter days my skin starts to peel a little and have all these like dry patches so it is a vital that I really moisturize and give my skin that love because if I don't I'm just gonna look like a dry desert so there's three key things I do for my face in winter and as of lately and I I can tell by your comments that you've been noticing a change in my skin I have to it's looking a lot more rested it's looking a lot more clear so the first step that I would recommend for a soft exfoliation to make sure that all the dead skin cells and all the leg dry patches are gone is taking a towel a towel and then wet this with warm water and then when I do that I have cleansing oil on my face and then what I'll do is with the towel I'll start using soft circular motions just like in the crease and with this I'm wiping away my oils my makeup remover oils then I wash my face with cold water and I feel like because it's the towel and because it's got a little bit of texture and you make those circular motions it gives your skin a flawless soft scrub I've been doing this daily and I've been doing that for a couple of months now and it has made the biggest change in my face and of course what a vital thing when it comes to you exfoliation and skincare is that after that you want to nourish and really treat the skin well I have two products for this that ever really really made a change in my face honestly I'm just so excited to show this to you because I don't really talk about skincare a lot and these two have been my rocks so first of all this one right here this is called absolute effects energy reload serum this is a serum but it's a heavier serum so usually serums are like an oil I don't really necessarily feel like oils do a lot for my face this gives you so much hydration and just yumminess it makes your skin glow beautifully like stunningly feel like this just gives me that clear glowy skin plus the hydration this is the stuff this right here is a mask this is by QMS this is got the relaxed so for a mask and I used this mask daily yes you heard that right I use a mask daily I applied the tiniest drop to my feels like when I apply this much this is more than enough so usually with masks you would apply a lot now working into the fingers and then into the skin the face and it just gives you that minimal coverage of moisturizer but it's a mask so it's like 10 times as effective and this combo has changed my skin ever since I've been using this technique I never have dry patches anymore I never have dry flaky skin anymore and I don't know if that's actually true but it hooked me on this mask apparently has an ingredient that mimics the effect of Botox so you put this mask on and it kind of just tightens everything and smooths everything out whenever I use that and I wake up the following morning it's like I'm like oh my god I'm a supermodel and I feel like this little routine really makes a difference for a brutal winter or just you know day to day life because it really changed my skin I do want to let you know my mom sells this in her web shop now if you've been following me on my channel you know that my mom has been looking after my skin for years and even us together we're like we think we found the magic potion for the skin and I feel like that is the most important step towards a flawless winter face okay after skincare comes the base and I think one of the most important things when it comes to you my winter face is that I want to look glowy and radiant because dullness is the trend so the first thing I'm doing is prime the first one is Fenty primer the fenty pro filter primer now I usually mix this one with this one measure way this is the anti blemish matte primer I like I said have an oily t-zone so when I apply this primer I usually focus this on the center of my face to make sure that any oils are at bay now for a foundation I pretty much have the same philosophy I want something super long-lasting that's gonna have my back throughout the late hours but I also want something that gives me that perfect flawless look and gives me that radiance and glow you've seen me as this combo before because it really works for me but defensive beauty foundation with the Lancome 24-hour together is like we're here to stay then I pick it up on my sponge and I start tapping it into the skin oh and I just love how that makes my skin look so now it's time for concealer and in my opinion it doesn't really matter what concealer you use I suggest using a long wearing one because that's just gonna help in making the face last for so much longer so I'm just gonna go with measuring one the essential high coverage in chiffon okay now with that same sponge you want to blend it in and then right after you want to set it with powders under my eyes i'm using the maybelline fit me loose powder in a 5 F for the rest of the face i'm using the charlotte tilbury magic powder for eyes the first thing I'm doing is priming using my pea Louise base now picking up a warm matte shadow on a fluffy blending brush and diffusing this on the outer corners of my crease and I now in the same brush and picking up a lighter more neutral br
