As the winter sets in you can embrace the dreamy season with makeup looks that feature the blend of classic grace and edgy statements. For your winter party avatar you can flaunt the beauty looks that not only complement your ensemble but give off that added confidence!

The following 5 makeup styles will be the mainstays of your winter style:

Moonlight Skin

Imagine glowing, vibrant skin that appears to have been kissed by the moon. The goal of this style is to create a dewy, moisturized face that brilliantly reflects light. To achieve this look, prepare your skin with a moisturizing primer. Use a foundation with light to medium coverage that contains hyaluronic acid and other skincare ingredients.

Use a delicate, iridescent highlighter to draw attention to the prominent areas of your face. Pay attention to features such as the nasal bridge, brow bones, and cheekbones. Apply a final setting spray to achieve that organic, internally illuminated radiance.

Pro Tip: For a moonlight beauty look, use minimal eye makeup to bring out your inherent beauty.

Ice Queen Eyes

This winter, icy silver, and frosty blue are the most popular hues for eye makeup. Applying glittering silver or light blue makeup across your lids can help you embrace your inner Elsa. Blend deeper blue hues into the crease to provide depth. For added sparkle, dab a little sparkle on the inner edges of the eyes. Metallic-hued winged eyeliner for a contemporary look.

Pro Tip: For a snowflake-inspired look, add icy mascara or long, fluttery lashes to your ice queen eyes.

Gilded Glam

The warm golds are also making an impression on winter makeup. Gilded glitz is ideal for formal events and holiday parties. Use golden eyeliner or eyeshadow to lend a hint of luxury to this look. For a multifaceted finish, blend warm gold hues with a touch of copper or bronze. Use a golden highlighter to draw attention to your collarbones and cheeks. To allow the eyes to speak for you, keep your lips natural or lightly glossed.

Pro Tip: For an ultra-glamorous appearance, combine a strong red lip with golden eyes for a dramatic touch.

Frosted Lips

Frosted finishes that harken back to the early 2000s are replacing matte lips. Soft metallics and ice glosses are key components of this style. Select pearly-shaded lipsticks in light lavender, silver, or frosty pink. Apply a coat of gloss to add more lustre and dimension. To draw attention to your lips, keep the rest of your makeup subtle or minimal.

Pro Tip: To achieve a defined shape, apply frosted colours after lining the lips with neutral-coloured liner for a contemporary makeover.

Natural Flush

This style replicates the flush that occurs naturally when you walk outside in the winter. Use pink or berry-toned cream blushes for a natural-looking finish to replicate the look. For a genuine winter-kissed look, apply blush on the nose as well as on the cheeks. To prevent hard wrinkles and give your face a delicate, young appearance, blend well.
