Rosy Cheeks

Red lips and rosy cheeks can still be found everywhere this season. If you’re in a mad dash to prepare for the day, a bold lip will look trendy and only take a few seconds. Accenting your beautiful face with a hint of blush will instantly make you look more cheerful this holiday season.

Cheek tints are the ultimate product to pull off this look. These versatile makeup products can help deliver a dose of hydration to parched cheeks. Many are multi-taskers, you can use on your lips and cheeks, making them perfect if you’re always doing touch-ups on the go.

Dark Lips

Nothing says winter like red lipstick, but the dark tones of this year’s winter makeup trends are taking the traditional look to a new level. The darker your red lipstick, the trendier it is. Opt for dark, black cherry shades to stay on trend this holiday season.

Our Picks

Maybelline Super Stay Vinyl Ink Longwear No-Budge Liquid Lipcolor

Milani Color Fetish Matte Lipstick

60’s Styled Eyeliner

Who said eyeliner needs to stay on your waterline? No one this year! Take things up a notch this winter by using your favorite color eyeliner to line your eyeshadow. You can create the same look with eyeliner while leaving the inside of the outline nude, but there’s no reason to leave your metallic eyeshadows in the closet this season!

Fluffy Brows

Soap brows are out, and so are sleeked-down eyebrows. Now, it’s all about fluffy eyebrows. Break out your spoolie to gently comb your eyebrows up. Use a brow gel lightly to keep hairs in place while maintaining a natural look.

Metallic Eyeshadow

Speaking of metallic eyeshadow, it is bigger than ever this winter. It’s one of the most versatile winter trends that remains popular year after year. Any color of metallic eyeshadow will instantly make you look chic! Metallic eyeshadow meshes flawlessly with the icy chill of Winter weather.

If you do not like metallic pink or purple eyeshadow, opt for a smoky eye with gold or silver instead. Both gold and silver pair well with any other color. This look works well for everything from work to glam holiday makeup ideas.

Statement Eyeliner

You don’t have to put away your statement eyeliner just yet! You can still rock your glitter eyeliner this winter season or switch it out for new eyeliner art! Create candy cane stripes, or opt for metallic maroon eyeliner to stay with the winter colors of the year.

Glitter in Everything

Glitter is the equivalent of holiday glam, and we get to have fun with it again this year! Glitter eyeshadow is back in a big way. Opt for larger pieces of glitter to create a bold statement, or stick with small flakes of glittery eyeshadow for a subtle approach to the holidays.

Other stylish ways to incorporate glitter into your look to stay up to date with this year’s makeup trends include:

Glitter lip art
Glitter eyeliner
Dusting your lashes with a bit of fine glitter powder (like the eyeshadow pots you probably have)

Vibrant Colors

The traditional colors we see every year, such as shades of burgundy, are slowly taking a backseat to another winter trend: vibrant eyeshadows. Set aside your timeless grey smoky eye palette and make room for shades of pink and purple. Colors typically seen in Spring, such as vibrant blues, are also a huge hit.

Dewy Skin

Sit your matte finishing powder on top of that now-outdated eyeshadow palette if you haven’t already done so. Winter is about looking fresh, and this year’s winter trends go hand in hand with that.

It’s time to break out your favorite highlighter and a setting spray that gives your skin a dewy glow. Opt for a dewy primer and glowing skincare products to give your skin a naturally radiant glow. This is ideal for anyone who prefers a natural look.
