we’ve rounded up some of the chicest makeup looks we're embracing this winter, along with the products that help bring these looks to life.
As the colder months settle in, we've been drawn to makeup looks that beautifully reflect the season—rich, warm, and effortlessly elegant. These styles offer a refreshing take on winter, with deep tones and subtle pops of color that feel perfectly suited to the time of year.
Brun Lips: Brown-Toned Lip Oils and Glosses
Winter is the perfect time to embrace brown lips—a timeless shade that brings warmth and sophistication to any look. ‘ILIA Balmy Tint Hydrating Lip Balm in Faded’ is a favorite for its perfect blend of hydration and color, making it an effortless everyday choice. If you're looking for something with a bit more staying power, ‘Kulfi Lassi Lips in Tamarind’ offers a beautiful mauve-brown shade that delivers moisture without compromising on rich color. For a more nourishing option with a touch of rosy brown, ‘Ami Colé Lip Treatment Oil in Excellence’ leaves lips feeling soft and smooth, making it ideal for the season.
Vermillion Blush: Red-Orange Blush Shades
Red-orange blushes are a key winter look for adding warmth and vibrancy to your cheeks. ‘Ere Perez Carrot Colour Pot in Hello’ is a creamy, easy-to-blend blush that gives a natural, healthy flush, perfect for the cooler months. If you’re after a product that can do double duty, the ‘ILIA Multi-Stick’ works beautifully on both lips and cheeks, giving you a seamless, fresh look with just one product. For a bolder statement, ‘REFY Cream Blush in Papaya’ provides the perfect red-orange hue to brighten the complexion and add that “vermillion” pop of color.
Cherry Mocha Eyeliner: Warm Burgundy-Brown Eyeliner
A warm burgundy-brown eyeliner is a subtle yet striking way to define your eyes during winter. ‘Manasi7 Eye And Lip Definer in Yubari’ creates a smooth, precise line that adds depth without being too harsh. Another winter favorite is ‘Clinique High Impact™ Gel Tech Eyeliner in Black Honey,’ offering a rich, reddish-brown tone that’s perfect for a softer, sultry look that still makes an impression. For those seeking a deeper, bold option, ‘Addiction Tokyo The Gel Eyeliner in 010 Bloody Berry’ is a stunning burgundy-brown that enhances the eyes with a touch of warmth and sophistication.
Cornflower Blue Eyeshadow: Soft Blue Matte or Satin Eyeshadow
While blue eyeshadow may not be the first shade you think of for winter, soft blue tones—especially matte or satin finishes—are surprisingly fresh and chic for the season. ‘Ami Colé Lid Joy in Los Angeles’ is a matte liquid eyeshadow that gives a clean, modern look that’s perfect for the colder months. For a bit of shimmer, ‘Clinique All About Shadow™ Single in Lagoon’ delivers a delicate satin finish that captures the crispness of winter’s cool air. If you’re after a playful pop of matte blue, ‘Stila Liqua-Play Eye Shadow in Peekablue Matte’ offers a vibrant, cool hue that’s perfect for making a bold yet seasonal statement.
Defrost Eyeshadow: Shimmery White Eyeshadow
There’s something magical about shimmery white eyeshadow in winter. It gives the eyes a frosty, ethereal quality that feels right for the season. ‘Clinique All About Shadow™ in Sugar Cane’ offers a soft, frosted shade that brightens the eyes with just the right amount of shimmer. If you prefer something creamier, ‘MOB Beauty Cream Clay Eyeshadow in M160’ provides a lovely dewy glow. And if you're after a bold statement, ‘Bodyography Glitter Pigments in Halo’ adds a sparkling finish, perfect for special occasions or festive nights out.
