What kind of makeup looks good in winter

It’s only a matter of time before the winter weather sneaks up on us. You may be focused on swapping out your wardrobe, but we happen to think that your makeup can use a change, too. Adding new winter make up looks to your repertoire can help brighten up those gloomy, way-too-cold days. Of course, how you care for your skin is important, too. Low humidity can lead to dry skin, so you don’t want to apply makeup—especially face powder—over a dried-out complexion. It’s essential to get your winter makeup routine down pat for a flawless look.

Follow our guide below to discover 10 gorgeous winter makeup looks. Plus, score tips and tricks for prepping your skin for makeup application during the frigid season.

1: GOLD EYES + BERRY LIPS

Gold eyes and berry lips make for a gorgeous pairing. These contrasting shades work wonders to add the right amount of dimension and bling to your winter makeup look. Set the stage by dusting a bit of gold eyeshadow, all over your lid. Trace your upper lash line with your pencil eyeliner in lvy. Finish up by pairing your gold eyes with a bright berry lip.

2: CLASSIC RED POUT

If you don’t have time for a full face, a bit of lipstick is all you need to tie any winter makeup look together. And nothing beats a bold, bright-red pout.

3: FLUSHED CHEEKS

Create a natural-looking, rosy flush with a cheerful blush hue. Use your makeup Blush, and lightly sweep your shade of choice across the apples of your cheeks.

4: SULTRY MAROON EYES

Maroon is one makeup color trend that’s not going away anytime soon, and we’re not mad about that fact. One of our favorite ways to rock maroon make up is on the eyes. First, apply a light brown or nude eyeshadow color as your base. Then, layer some matte eye shadows onto the outer corner of your upper lid. Next, trace along your upper lash line with the Mechanical Eyeliner, Waterproof in Brown Denim. After you’ve put a coat or two of black mascara on your lashes, add a few swipes of the Washable Bold Eye Mascara in Deep Burgundy.

Shimmer like a snow globe! Start by mixing the Light Infusing Primer with your foundation, then apply it all over your face. Follow up by swiping the Paris Infallible Crushed Foils Metallic Highlighter in Rose Quartz onto your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and your chin.

6: STATEMENT BROWS

Another great way to rock a one-piece winter makeup look is by perking up your brows. When filled in correctly, your brows can be a showstopper, all on their own. Use the Nice Unbelievabrow Longwear Waterproof Brow Gel, which has an amazing, long-lasting formula, to fill in your brows—and you’ll see just what we mean.

Notice: If filled-in brows are not your style, you may find that soapy brows can suit your fancy,could have a try.
