Happy Friday!
It's that time of year when, if you're anything like me, your lips start to feel dry, skin gets flaky, and conditions such as eczema (which I'm prone to in winter) can flare up. Add the colds and sniffles doing the rounds, and it's safe to say our winter beauty routines could be in need of a little extra attention.
If you're looking for a beauty pick-me-up, we've got you covered. Discover how to apply make-up to mature skin, according to a dermatologist. As skin changes with age, fine lines and texture can affect how make-up sits on the face, so a few tweaks to your routine can make all the difference. I know how tricky it can be to find a foundation that doesn't settle into wrinkles, which is why Dior's backstage face & body foundation is worth a look, having taken the top spot in our review.
Looking for a primer to help keep your make-up in place? Check out our pick of the 9 best primers for long-lasting make-up, tested on three skin types. Plus, if longer-looking lashes are on your wishlist, we've rounded up the top eyelash curlers. There's also almost 40% off this cult-favourite Maybelline mascara at Amazon, so you can give your flutter a volume boost for less.
Over in the world of fashion, cropped winter jackets are having a moment, combining practical warmth with a stylish, waist-grazing silhouette. John Lewis has a lovely range of cropped coats and jackets, plus our tester loved this checked puffer jacket with scarf from Next. If you're after chunky winter shoes or boots, too, there are some great discounts at & Other Stories.
Scroll down for more fashion and beauty tips, finds and inspiration. Have a wonderful weekend – fingers crossed for some sunshine!
