Why this worksWinter calls for deeper, richer tones that reflect the season's mood. Warmer hues can create a cozy feel, while cool undertones can enhance your natural beauty. Choosing the right colours can boost your confidence and bring out your best features, making your makeup feel harmonious with the chilly weather.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Choose Your Base Start with a foundation or tinted moisturiser that suits your skin tone. For winter, consider a slightly dewy finish to give your skin a healthy glow, especially when the air is dry.
  2. Select Warm Neutrals Incorporate warm neutral shades like taupes and soft browns for your eyes. These colours provide a lovely base and can easily be layered with richer shades for depth without overwhelming your look.
  3. Add Jewel Tones For a pop of colour, opt for jewel tones like emerald green, deep plum, or rich navy. These colours not only evoke the winter spirit but also add vibrancy that can brighten your overall look.
  4. Finish with Berry Lips Complete your winter palette with a berry or wine lip colour. These shades are perfect for winter, adding a touch of warmth and sophistication while keeping your look cohesive.
  5. Highlight and Set Don’t forget to add a subtle highlighter to your cheekbones and brow bone for a fresh glow. Set your makeup with a setting spray to keep everything in place against the winter chill.

Where people go wrong

Many people overlook the importance of skin prep during winter, which can lead to a patchy finish. Others might choose overly bright colours that clash with the season's vibe. Remember to blend well and choose shades that complement your natural skin tone.

The pro moveConsider adding a soft blush in a warm peach or berry shade to enhance your cheeks, creating a fresh, healthy look that resonates with winter's warmth.
