Makeup trends for winter – The classic eyeliner
Lining your eyes is the easiest thing to do when you want to add drama and sex appeal to your eyes. In the last couple of seasons it was enough to line your upper lid only, but this winter season you can experiment with lining your bottom lid as well and create a ‘double wing’. If you aren’t accustomed of using a liquid eyeliner, you can line your eyes with an eye pencil. The ‘cat eye’ look is still really popular, but the ‘double wing’ looks really good.
Makeup trends for winter – Natural blush
Choose blush in peach and apricot color that have a little bit of sparkly dust in them because they will dominate the winter season. The makeup artists show diversity of techniques for applying blush and contouring so you should find the technique that works for your face shape.
You can apply your blush to the apple of your cheeks and a little bit at the temples for an elegant look. Or, for more interesting look, you can apply your blush on your cheeks, and a little bit under the apples of your cheeks.
Makeup trends for winter – The ‘no makeup’ look
It seems that the ‘no makeup’ look actually means that you need to use makeup but moderately in order to achieve a natural fresh look. Use foundation and concealer to cover your skin blemishes, mascara to emphasize your eyes and a little bit of blush to get a fresh look. Finally, apply a colorless lip balm on your lips and smile. If you are gifted with naturally beautiful skin, let it breathe freely without using any foundation, and use just a concealer.
