Every Product Sofia Richie Grainge Uses In Her Cold-Weather Makeup Routine
If there's one celebrity we can trust to share her makeup lineup with us, it's Sofia Richie Grainge. She's won us over through her countless "Get Ready With Me's" on TikTok, where she takes us through her step-by-step makeup routine, making small changes throughout the seasons. After her infamous wedding makeup routine dropped, which can be replicated on a budget, followers were excited to learn more about her beauty secrets. Now that the cooler weather is slowly creeping in, Richie Grainge has shared her go-to cold-weather makeup routine on TikTok. We know when the cold weather starts kicking in, our skin can get frazzled and act out. Richie Grainge claims, "The seasons are changing, and my skin is freaking out. During this time, I have to stay true to the products that I know work for my skin," as per her TikTok.
Crisp, cold air might put us in a cozy mood, but when it starts drying out our skin and giving us blemishes, we're ready to say goodbye to it. Luckily, Richie Grainge knows the struggle, so she keeps her makeup routine simple with minimal, lightweight products, like the Hourglass Cosmetics Veil Hydrating Skin Tint and the Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick, which still hydrate her skin, making it essential for the cold.
Hourglass Cosmetics Veil Hydrating Skin Tint
Model Sofia Richie Grainge starts her cold-weather makeup routine with Hourglass' Veil Hydrating Skin Tint. She adds a couple of drops to each cheek and evenly distributes the product with a brush. The skin tint is lightweight with minimal coverage; Richie Grainge states, "It really just sits on the skin well. It's not too heavy," per her TikTok clip, which helps keeps her skin hydrated and helps her skin from "freaking out" due to the weather changes.
The Hourglass skin tint foundation is packed with various skin-benefitting ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, which pulls water to the skin and hydrates it by retaining the water it attracts. The skin tint also has plant-based squalane and meadowfoam seed oil. Squalane fights to retain moisture in the skin, as per the Cleveland Clinic, ensuring it keeps the skin's radiance at all times. As for meadowfoam seed oil, it restores the moisture barrier with fatty acids. The skin tint wear lasts all day, giving you a dewy look that feels like you're not wearing anything on your skin.
Hourglass Cosmetics Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick
After applying the skin tint, Sofia Richie Grainge goes in with her favorite product: Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick. She says, "I cannot live without this product. ... This is how I became so obsessed with Hourglass," according to her TikTok video, as she applies the foundation stick over her nose, under her eyes, and forehead.
The foundation stick is a full-coverage product that still feels lightweight on the skin, so it's perfect for the cold weather. Combining the skin tint and foundation stick gives you a seamless look. If you don't want to use the foundation stick on your whole face, use it to cover dark spots, redness, or blemishes you might have. It acts as an excellent concealer that gives you a natural look. The foundation lasts up to 12 hours and can be touched up whenever you're feeling dry. Plus, it adapts to the temperature of your body, so you don't have to worry about it becoming patchy throughout the day. To distribute the foundation, Richie Grainge uses the same brush she used for her skin tint.
Nudestix Nudies Blush Stick
To bring some color back into her face, Sofia Richie Grainge applies Nudestix's Nudies Cream Blush Stick in the shade Picante, which is an orange poppy color. It's the perfect tone to give her cheeks a flush of color without being too much. The blush comes with a removable brush, perfect for taking on the go when you need to touch it up because, sometimes, blush tends to disappear throughout the day, no matter how much you add.
The Nudies blush stick is a creamy formula that's effortless to blend. You can use it for your cheeks, eyes, and lips. If you want to dive into winter makeup trends, like wearing bold red lipstick, Nudestix has a gorgeous, rich red blush tone in Hot Fire that will add the perfect tint to your cheeks or lips. However, if you don't like bold tones and prefer subtle colors on your cheeks, opt for natural shades, such as Sunkissed Pink or Cherie, for a rosy pink finish.
Hourglass Cosmetics Ambient Lighting Edit Palette
Before moving on to her eyes and lips, Sofia Richie Grainge grabs her Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Palette to layer a stunning pink powder blush over her Nudestix one. She applies a couple of strokes over her high cheekbones for added color. The poppy orange and pink blush hues blend seamlessly together, creating the perfect natural look. After her blush is set, she takes her brush, dabs it into the palette's bronzer, and applies it next to her ear and the side of her forehead to slightly contour her face and add dimension.
Since the Ambient Lighting Edit Palette is a limited edition and sold out on most websites, consider trying e.l.f.'s Illuminating Palette, an incredible dupe for the Hourglass palette. It's nearly $24 on Amazon and has four shades to enhance your blush. The palette is multi-use, so you can use it on your cheeks, forehead, and eyes for a contour and eyeshadow look. Of course, you can swap the palette for any bronzing and blush products you use daily.
Hourglass Cosmetics Unlocked Instant Extension Mascara
Sofia Richie Grainge keeps her eyes simple using Hourglass' Unlocked Instant Extension Mascara. She shows the before and after, applying the mascara to one side and showing the other eye without mascara, "What a difference," she says in her video. After only using a couple of coats, she sees an immediate change between her eyelashes. The mascara has a thin spoolie with small brush spikes that evenly coat each eyelash, lengthening and evenly fanning them out. In addition, it adds definition to the lashes and lifts them high, so you don't have to use an eyelash curler. Richie Grainge slowly applies the mascara from root to tip, ensuring she gets between the lashes and fully coats them.
The final eye look is enough to tie the whole look together. An excellent alternative and more affordable option to the Hourglass mascara is Maybelline's Lash Sensational Lengthening Mascara, which costs $9.99. It has similar lengthened spikes on the spoolie, except Maybelline's spoolie is curved, allowing you to fan your eyelashes to perfection. Nonetheless, it'll likely give you similar results.
Hourglass Cosmetics Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm
To top off her cold-weather makeup look, Sofia Richie Grainge swipes the Hourglass Phantom Volumizing Glossy Lip Balm on her lips and gently pats it in with her finger. The glossy balm is hydrating and gives the perfect shiny look. Plus, with the cooler weather always carrying chilly winds, causing the lips to run dry, using a hydrating lip balm can come in handy. After all, it can nourish, hydrate, and plump your lips in rich colors that deliver a dewy finish. Richie Grainge uses a pinky tone that pairs beautifully with the blushes she uses.
The glossy balms are available in 12 different shades, so you can choose one that matches the rest of your winter makeup products or try a new color for fun. They mostly range from deep reds and pinks to nudes, making them the ideal winter hues. For a more affordable option, e.l.f. has a Hydrating Core Lip Shine balm for $6 in five shades that are more purple and orange than red and nude, but they hydrate and nourish your lips with their vitamin E ingredient. The melting lip balm can give your lips a sheer but hydrating tint that'll let your lips survive winter.
