Super Saturday: 5 Must Haves for Perfect Winter Skin

In the winter, our skin tends to look a little dull, and the harsh weather can make it dry and flaky. Here are 5 products that will help you achieve perfect glowing winter skin:

1. A moisturizing  base. Winter weather will make your skin drier and dull, so find a base that contains moisturizing ingredients and says it gives a luminous effect. Jessie's Picks: Smashbox Liquid Halo Foundation. Laura Mercier Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer. Bobbi Brown Extra SPF 25 Tinted Moisturizing Balm.

2. A creamy concealer. For under your eyes, look for a creamy formula that blends easily, and for blemishes look for a cream to powder concealer that glides over dry patches. Jessie's Picks: Benefit Cosmetics Fake Up Concealer. Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer. Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer.

3. A cream blush. Using a cream blush will give you a healthy youthful glow, and will blend easier into your foundation. Jessie's Picks: Nars The Multiple. Yves Saint Laurent Creme de Blush - Soft Blush. Avon Cream Blush Stick.

4. A soft highlighter. Using a highlighter in the winter will give you a nice glow and soft focus effect.The shimmery highlighter won't look as "fake" as in the summer when the sunlight is harsher. Jessie's Picks: Clinique Up- Lighting Liquid Illuminator. Nars Illuminator. Benefit Cosmetics Watts Up.

5.  A setting spray. Don't cake on powder to set your face, as most powders will take away from your skins glow. Instead use a setting spray to prolong the life of your makeup. Jessie's Picks: Mac Fix+ Setting Spray. Urban Decay All Nighter Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray. Make Up Forever Mist and Fix.


All of these products will give you a flawless glowy skin, and make it last all day (even through the snow squalls).
