Hydrating Winter Makeup

Hydro Grip Hydrating Primer

Bethenny relies on this primer when she wants makeup to last but still look skin-like. The slightly tacky texture helps foundation stay put while keeping skin feeling hydrated underneath, and is especially helpful in winter when foundation tends to slide or break apart midday.

Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint

"This performs as well as any department-store foundation,” Bethenny says. Lightweight and comfortable, the formula evens out skin tone while keeping dryness in check. And unlike other foundations, the finish stays fresh throughout the day instead of settling into patches.

Swipe Serum Concealer

Bethenny calls this formula “creamy and smooth,” saying it gives a finish that feels “glowy and not pasty.” It spreads easily and blends without emphasizing patches, which matters most under the eyes in winter.

Derm Correction Lip Volumizer

More of a treatment than a gloss, this focuses on smoothing and conditioning lips over time. It’s a solid option for winter when traditional plumpers feel irritating or drying.

True Match Lumi Glotion

Bethenny has called this out for making skin look healthier without looking like makeup. It gives skin a soft, hydrated glow rather than an obvious shimmer. Mix a bit into your foundation or wear it alone when your skin just needs a boost.

Instant Age Rewind Concealer

Creamy and forgiving, this remains the team’s go-to for brightening without creasing. It performs well even when the under-eye area feels dry or sensitive.

Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40

This feels more like skincare than foundation, which should be the golden standard of makeup. Coverage is sheer but buildable, and the formula moves with your skin instead of sitting on top.

SunnyDays Tinted SPF 30

“Tower is the best tinted SPF. I’m talking glides into your skin and matches your skin tone,” Bethenny says. The formula sits comfortably between skin tint and everyday sunscreen, offering light coverage that evens things out without feeling like a mask.

Photo Focus Dewy Foundation

If your skin tends to look flat or dull in the winter, this brings life back without feeling heavy. The formula keeps its slip as you blend, so it doesn’t grab onto dry patches or set too quickly.

Clean Fresh Priming Glow Mist

A few sprays of this helps revive makeup that’s starting to look dull or patchy. It doesn’t disrupt any makeup already on your face, which makes it useful both before applying makeup and throughout the day.

Buildable Hydrating Cream Blush

Cream blush is easier on dry skin, and this formula blends without skipping. Color builds gradually, so it never looks overdone.

Veil Hydrating Skin Tint

Bethenny says Hourglass is a brand that gets texture right, especially for mature or winter-stressed skin. This tint is the perfect example—it delivers coverage in the most understated way. Skin looks smoother and brighter, but never coated.
