As the days get colder, the season of winter brings a great time to experiment with beautiful winter makeup. Winter makeup is unique in itself because the colors and pigments can be rich and playful. It’s also a great time to get creative with eyeshadows and lipsticks.
To start, sticking with warm, inviting tones is a great way to absolutely nail a winter makeup look. Winter is the time to turn away from the beautifully bronzed, glowy look and get into the smokey eyes and deep red lips. Below are we must products and steps to achieve a full face of glam winter makeup.
Face
Step 1: Primer
Before creating a beautiful winter makeup look, it is essential to create a base that will allow your products to last all day. The Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer glides on the skin with a gripping texture. The product has hyaluronic acid, which helps find other products to stick to. Apply this after your skincare routine and wait for it to dry before putting on the foundation.
Step 2: Foundation
It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF 50+
It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF 50+ is not only a foundation but also a long-lasting, full-coverage CC cream. This product has been a fan favorite for many years because of its excellent texture and added skincare. The anti-aging hydrating serum will allow your face to stay plump and soft all day. Pair this with the Milk Hydro Grip Primer, and your face will be blemish and wrinkle-free all day.
Step 3: Concealer
Rare Beauty Liquid Touch Brightening Concealer
It is no secret that Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez was a success as soon as it hit the stores. Her products are fantastic for winter makeup because they are medium-coverage and leave a radiant finish. The Liquid Touch Brightening Concealer leaves a beautiful glow and brightens the under eyes while not leaving a cakey texture that emphasizes fine lines.
Step 4: Contour
Fenty Beauty Match Stix Matte Contour Skinstick
At Successible Life, we are fans of Fenty Beauty and pretty much anything Rihanna does. One thing the queen does best is contouring. A cream contour is a great way to subtly achieve a snatched winter makeup look. The Match Stix Matte Contour Skinstick glides on the skin beautifully and blends to perfection. Use this contour stick wherever you want to see shadows, including near the hairline, below the apples of the cheeks, or on the jawline.
Step 5: Powder
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Powder
Now that all of the creams and liquid makeup products are applied, it is time to set the face. A winter makeup look can be somewhat matte, but it is important to keep the face from drying. However, the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Powder is lightweight and non-drying. Apply this with a big fluffy brush all over the face to set the products from the previous steps.
Step 6: Bronzer
nightlife Bronzer Powder by ILIA
The nightlife Bronzer Powder by ILIA is a loose powder that blends effortlessly into the skin and lasts all day. Being over-dramatic on the bronzer will take away from the beauty of the winter makeup look. Apply this product sparingly wherever you want to look a little extra sun-kissed. For example, apply it to the apples of the cheeks, the bridge of the nose, and the forehead.
Step 7: Blush
Makeup by Mario Soft Pop Powder Blush
This powder blush by the famous Makeup by Mario is outstanding. The Makeup by Mario Soft Pop Powder Blush comes in a range of shades that are perfectly pigmented, with matte and shimmer finish options. They last all day and apply smoothly. Using a fluffy brush, apply this powder to the bridge of the cheekbone on top of where you applied your bronzer. Sweep this across the tip of the nose and on the forehead to elevate your winter makeup look.
Step 8: Highlight
Fenty Beauty Diamond Bomb All-Over Diamond Veil
Rihanna just dropped her stunning Diamond Bomb All-Over Diamond Veil highlighters, which are gorgeous for a winter makeup look. Use this on your body, as a highlighter, or as an eyeshadow for a shimmery glow. The color “How Many Carats?!” is icy and radiant, making it perfect for a cool winter makeup look.
Eyes
Step 9: Eyeshadow
Makeup Revolution Forever Flawless Chilled Palette
Winter makeup looks are the best for experimenting with deep eyeshadow tones. Makeup Revolution Forever Flawless Chilled Palette can be intimidating at first glance. To achieve a smokey look, start with the shade “Relax” with a fluffy eyeshadow brush all over the eyelid. Next, take the tone “Burn” with a small rounded brush and blend it into the crease. Take the shade “Natural” with a packing brush and pack it onto the eyelid below the crease. Finally, apply the shade “Goddess” to the inner corners of the eyelid. Deep greens are especially beautiful for a winter makeup look. Another great thing about this palette is it allows for experimenting. Try the more intense shades for a colorful eye look.
Step 10: Liner
KVD Vegan Beauty Tattoo Eyeliner
KVD Vegan Beauty Tattoo Eyeliner comes in the blackest of black. ‘Trooper’ is the name of the color of this liquid eyeliner. A black wing liner will create a deeper smokey eye for your winter makeup look, which can make for a great contrast to the greens in the eyeshadow palette. An eyeliner like this is ideal for any full glam look like this one.
Step 11: Lashes
Lashes are the ultimate product for a full glam winter makeup look. While you might be reluctant to wear false lashes for every occasion, there are ways to make the Ardell Lash Demi Wispies look more natural. Cutting the ends of each lash strand will allow you to create the look that you want.
Step 12: Brows
Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow+ Tinted Volumizing Eyebrow Gel
This winter makeup is a more intense look. To offset the eyeshadow, use the Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow+ Tinted Volumizing Eyebrow Gel for a slight tint and eyebrows that will stay in place.
Lips
Step 13: Lip Liner
Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lip Liner
Charlotte Tilbury is known for outstanding lip products. The Lip Cheat Lip Liner in the color “Pillow Talk Intense” is a trending product on social media right now because of its ability to be a base for all other lip products. The formula is smooth and hydrating, which will create a base for long-lasting lip duos or trios.
Step 14: Lip Stick
PAT McGRATH LABS MatteTrance Lipstick
A deep red lip will finish off the winter makeup look and compliment the green eyeshadows nicely. Pat McGrath Labs MatteTrance Lipstick in Vendetta is a rich red with a matte finish. The pigment is flawless, and the formula is creamy.
There you have it! A full-glam winter makeup look with stunning tones of greens, blues, and reds. Not only is this look fun to do, but it is also fittingly glamorous and warm for the whole winter.
