"I love dry lips," said no woman ever…but most stains tend to leave our lips parched. This emollient formula from TopShop ($16; topshop.com) gives off a glossy sheen that eventually fades into a gorgeous stain, and lasts for hours.

The lighter formulas, like Estee Lauder's ($38; esteelauder.com), provide a bit of moisture without feeling too heavy or sticky and most versions contain SPF to protect from strong rays. Try using a shade deeper than your complexion to help warm up a pale winter complexion.

Milky cleansers can be great for dry winter skin but when the temperatures rises, switch to a gel cleanser for a deeper clean that helps eliminate shine. We like Garnier's version which contain charcoal to help draw out dirt and oil.
